here is something useful i found out just now

i received my fatbody RAM i bought on ebay recently

MIND YOU THE ****ING POSTMAN JUST HAMMERED IT IN THE LETTERBOX HALF STICKING OUT ON A BUSY ROAD ALL FARKING DAY LONG

anyways

the stick absolutely refused to work single or dual channel on both of my boards >>i tried everything..........even booting with HZs and raising vdimm and fixing up timings and all........NOTHING would work so i almost gave up on the damn sticks

i tested the sticks on both Asus P5B Deluxe and EVGA 680i

well i kind of noticed that the little gold plates were a little shorter than other RAM i had so i thought i might install the RAM all the way and then slightly release the RAM latches to raise the RAM up a little in case there was some shorting and GUESS WHAT..................RAM WORKS in both Asus and EVGA boards with this trick

picture says a thousand words

and it works LOL

who says

2.2vdimm




lol the PI time is similar to Opterons at ~3GHz heheh

here is the height difference between normal seated RAM (in the middle) and the slightly "lifted" RAM
