Personally the way I see the RAM dieing issue it this. If it was just random death of sticks in any slot I would think bad ram, but being that it's always the stick in bank 2 dieing it's got to be something with the board. If I could test individual ram slots vDimm then I would definitly test it out. But both sticks seemed to be about the same temps when I touched them. I'm just not going to run over 2.2v on my ram now. It very well could be just running ram out of spec on the voltage and that led to the death of one stick.
