    I told you guys before, I'm easily one of the unluckiest people on this planet, and good karma = bad karma for me.

    Funny incident that popped into my mind now, about 1 month ago, I was out on the road and there was a middle-age Taiwanese woman looking like she was lost and desperate to get somewhere, she was trying to make a call with her cellphone but couldn't. She asked me if I knew what's wrong, and since she didn't ask her provider to enable roaming for her I allowed her to make a phone call with my cellphone...
    "Thanks sir, you just helped me find my friend, that's good karma for you" she said.
    Some hours after that incident, I'm back at my place, just finishing my lunch and then... boom my cellphone's monitor ( the digitizer actually ) went off and never worked again.
    Sent the phone to HTC's service, took 17 days to get it back, and the smart-as$es flashed my firmware too and I lost all my contacts & data thanks to their genius techs.
    Nice, moar good karma plz!

    All my MGH-E DIMMs are 99% dead.
    Now all I need is to find out that my best GTX 480 ( 1350MHz AQ3 @ -145C ) is also dead
    Had u tried to put them in the freezer for a night? I heard it might revive them.

    I tough MGH-E were stronger.

    CPU won't POST on sofo's Rampage III Extreme, and won't POST on my 2nd classified E760 as well.

    Stupid MGH-E sticks died for no apparent reason, they were chillin' the last 2-3 months ( I wasn't benching at all ) on the 24/7 x58 setup at DDR3-... hold your breath...1066 8-8-8-31 at 1.57V
    Suddenly the system would see 4GB instead of 6GB in most reboots/POSTs, then I tried each stick alone and found out that 1 of them wouldn't work at all.
    I thought the other 2 were ok, so I didn't try to push them at all, but the other 2 DIMMs could've been damaged the whole time since that day and I didn't notice that since I wasn't overclocking them at all.

    All I know is that I'm out of the most crucial parts in overclocking, I won't be able to find another MGH-E kit, and surely not even close to what those DIMMs could do, another 6.4G+ B1 retail 980X ? A joke with my luck.
    I'd be lucky if my graphics card didn't get harmed in the process and still clocks like it did a few days ago.

    p.s. Yes, I did barr3l, but didn't work, looks like the ICs are damaged...

    It's not about the money, it's more about knowing that my chances of finding another chip like this are... well... very slim ( if at all )

    Feel for ya, but everyone's that's found good chips has already lost them I think...esp when we're talking 3005F's Just be happy you got a good session out of it and don't dwell too much on what "could" have happened.

    I got nothing out of it man.
    If only I knew that the crap chip would die like that, I'd max the UnCore, LN2 the RAM for 2000+ 6-6-5-20, OC the card to the max and run AquaMark 3 for 455k+, a decent Vantage with a proper driver and highest possible clocks ( 6.05GHz was the last test I ran the first day with great success ), 6.2G+ 3D Mark03/05/06 with the card maxed out as well, and kept some PiFast and SuperPi 32M action.

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
