impressive ram, awesome score mate

Did you stick your bench rig in a chest freezer?

So Bachus, how much revenue did you generate with this thread to everyone's disappointment?

Hi,

Well, I guess I’m not as lucky as Bachus.

Last night my computer was working fine. I used it for some light work i.e. web browsing, email etc.

This morning I turned my computer ON, BIOS saw my TR3X6G2000C7GTF-DOMINATOR GT 6GB memory and booted up normally. When I logged-in to get to the window a small window opened up instead and indicated that there was a serious problem with the window and it has to shut down and asked me to save my work! I didn’t have to save anything since it never passed from login screen. Then it started a countdown. The first time I’d seen something like that.

Once it shut down I rebooted my PC again but this time the BIOS only saw 4GB. I went to BIOS and put everything on AUTO. Again, the BIOS saw only 4GB. Next, I used Memtest86+ v2.11 and it saw only 4GB as well.

BTW I could never get it stable at the rated 2000MHz even with QPI/DRAM Core Voltage at [1.70]

Next, I put my Blade 2000MHz and the BIOS immediately saw the 6GB and window booted up normally.

Interestingly, I only bought TR3X6G2000C7GTF because I couldn’t get my Blade at 2000MHz either! A lesson learned.

I know these things will happen but I bought my TR3X6G2000C7GTF less than a month ago. After one week, the Airflow fan started to malfunction and now one memory stick is dead. I’m quite disappointed, as I wasn’t even using it at the rated 2000MHz nor was I doing anything stressful with it.

This memory is getting expensive for DRAM Frequency of 1936 MHz, so far close to $800 (I’m outside USA) Not cool at all.

ahhh crazy speed and low cl i want this ram!!!

[KILLER_K]

Nice results indeed but..........

Say we own a kit or buy a kit , do you then sign a document waving the high voltage that we still get a rma, since corsair says over volting is a big no-no? As we already know you slapped some volts to it anyway.

Please sing here "bachus_anonym"

I ____________________, wave any over volting on this ram and the end user will still be able to rma the ram when it kills over!
1) kills over on boot
2) killed over under a stress test
3) killed over because i did over 1.7 volts to try
and reach what "bachus_anonym" posted

Loop Hole:

ram magically dies..................

I dont think you understand the point of this. He is just showing the limits of these hyper chips, on a nicely binned set of ram. Nowhere does he say to overvolt anything, or that you should even attempt to do what he is doing. If you overvolt the ram and void the warranty that is your choice and course of action. Corsair isnt responsible if you kill the memory attempting 2500mhz C7, thats on your hands. They have a warranty for users who keep the memory in its predefined voltages and settings. Not for user who pump 2.3v into the sticks and kill them.

Ram doesnt "magically" die either. You give it too much voltage without adequate cooling and it dies. No magic there.

You were pretty much spot on till you got to the above part. It's a well established fact that regardless of brand Elpida Hyper chips do die for no apparent reason. Neither is this a rare occurrence but it is quite common.

[KILLER_K]

YEs they do magically die and "Elpida" has been doing it. Note why we have a thread about it. And he said he gave it more volts, if you read in the post he made.

Please note that in those experiments I will be exceeding 1.65V VDIMM voltage level

Don't get me wrong i'm not knocking him for promoting "Corsair" ram since he works for them. But if you hand pick it and give numbers then a end user buys it and it doesn't perform the same then................

We all know what follows that line.

[Sepyx]

I agree with Praz and Killer. Mine died by just booting to window.

Just saw this on CORSAIR forum

Now I'm worried regarding my investment.

[The Water Dog]

The Karma: Corsair dont take GT of the market without a reason, the same with Kingston...there is too much trouble with Elpida Hyper.( Corsair will try to find a soloution and Kingston goes over to a new chip)
But they are damn good


My english suck, but i hope you understand:P
