UTT RAM survey: dead or alive?

**Rubescen** · 06-06-2005, 10:06 AM

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.

**gundamit** · 06-06-2005, 10:18 AM

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)

**ben805** · 06-06-2005, 10:23 AM

I voted yes.

PSU: PCP&C 510 SLI
mobo: DFI Ultra D
Color slots: orange
bios: 510-2
5v or 3.3v rail: 5v
vdimm used: 3.5v
speed: 250 2-2-2-5
24/7 machine: yes
1 or both sticks: 1
ram's age: 2 days
ram model: Mushkin Redline XP4000

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!!

**GregP24** · 06-07-2005, 01:03 PM

Yes, 2 sets actually

5v or 3.3v rail: 5v
vdimm used:3.6v

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...
