UTT RAM survey: dead or alive?

I just wanted to conduct a database and poll to see how many people have had the UTT sticks went belly up, It would be helpful if we can get the following information:


PSU:
mobo:
Color slots: (orange or yellow?)
bios:
5v or 3.3v rail:
vdimm used:
speed:
24/7 machine: (yes or no)
1 or both sticks:
ram's age:
ram model: (OCZ VX, Mushkin Redline, etc.)



IF your UTT still alive...please fill in the following as well:

PSU:
mobo:
Color slots: (orange or yellow?)
bios:
5v or 3.3v rail:
vdimm used:
speed:
24/7 machine: (yes or no)
ram's age:
ram model: (OCZ VX, Mushkin Redline, etc.)



Edit: this survey is for UTT ram only, TCCD and any other ram need not apply.

PSU: OCZ Powerstream 520
mobo: DFI NF$ SLI-DR
Color slots: (orange or yellow?) Orange
bios: 310
5v or 3.3v rail: Both
vdimm used: 3.2v
speed: 250 24/7
24/7 machine: (yes or no) Not any more. It was the last 2x512 set-up I used before going to trying 2gig set-ups. My old BH-5 and TCCD actually outperformed this TMSP AA4T (CH) slighty on benches. I have four sticks of 1A4T I'm trying to sort through right now.
ram's age: 3 months.
ram model: (OCZ VX, Mushkin Redline, etc.) TMSP AA4T (CH)

I voted yes.

2nd pair is doing great so far at 250 with only 3.1v on 3.3v rail.


Edit: jeesus.....I know the ratio might not be as accurate as it seems at the moment but 30% failure rate is pretty high!! :lol2:

i vote yes....and its just less than half a day where both die....

was doing memtest and burning in....3.0v w 1x120mm fan n 1x92mm at the mosfet.

after 90 loops in #5......thousands of errors and ram is dead even tried on P4 rig...

Sorta, I guess yes running on 5v line 3.5v 2 days running gave 1 error on pass #7 memtest and then even at stock volts. then I was worried.

I think the problem on the Neo2 was just a fluke, but the DFI board was my own fault for using the 5v rail. It's kinda funny, I had read the thread on DFI boards killing UTT just the day before my ram died.

I have had this ram all the way to 4v for a few days and nothing was a miss.

Alos just as a suggestion ask if there was fan over the ram and if so what CFM...

Also what timmings...That might also help...

Yeah, lol, I was really confused before--post delete time for me!

4 gigs of UTT died on me on DFI NF4. 1 gig of RMA is running fine on my wife's machine (P4) and the other 3 gig of RMA was tested, sold and running fine on others machines. Some DFI NF4 seems to have tendency to eat up UTT memory.
