My dead D9GMH stick has been in freezer for about 70 hours now.
No boot :(
If a DDR2 is fatally broken: DEAD/Trash...
But some time that sticks become kinda electrostatic havoc :confused:
After a while, they properly work again. That's my opinion.
I tried again with the other stick, but it doesn't work, so only one of the sticks recovered.
Maybe a few freeze-thaw cycles are required. Just keep freezing it and letting it come back to room temp, test it, and if still dead, freeze it again. You might get lucky.Quote:

I've got a box of dead ram. This will be interesting. I won't get to start freezing until tomorrow evening.
1 stick of dead Team Xtreme D9GKX 512mb , stuck in the freezer for 3 days and boot it again just fine :D , i have done this before with my Ballistics and could recover 1 out 2 sticks on that dead kit a while back. So definitevely this work 50/50 chance on my case.
Weird Stuff indeed but true , it works.
I think this is really how your sticks are broken.
Mine were oc'd with 2.2volts when they died (well started giving errors even in 2.0v and stock clocks/lantencys) and i recovered them bowth with putting em to Dice for some time, and they can do again allmost good as before.
Dont expect to recover your memory if you have used 2.5volts in DDR3 memory.
Shoving my GMH kit back in the freezer now, it shall live there until somepoint sunday :D
OCZ´s 1066 in the freezer for 3 hours and they are back from the dead!!!
I think it would help if the people managing to revive their dead D9s could say what temp their freezer is, there might be a particular "sweet" area.
Revived an old stick by attaching it to a Vapochill for two hours:ROTF:
Sorry for the poor picture

BUT.... Team Xtreem PC6400 3-3-3-8 both 1Gig sticks. Back from the dead nicely at 900Mhz. :shocked: These were definitely dead. Died in this very same machine before.
That's why I loooooooove this forum! :ROTF:Quote:

Unfortunately I was all warmed-up from old good bh5 Mushkins at high voltage, so the max I fed them was 2.6V (fully moded mobo) ... DEAD :D I'll try that method and get back to you with an answer ;)
I got 2 kits in the freezer on day number 2 - getting ready to pull them out - 1 fatbody kit and 1 crucial anniversary series *fingers crossed*
My D9 kit is living in the freezer still, the sticks are beginning to grow frosticles :p:
Actually they are both, I reckon, just more than 1 year IIRC.Quote:
