I may just sell these (after RMA) and see what else I can get.

So for now all I have is a stick of 1GB DDR2 533 OC'd to DDR2 600. Yielding me a cool 2.7 GHz, LOL.
Hi

somethings not right here, the RAM is rated @ 2.2v so you run it @2.3v and RMA twice?????????

I bet you never thought your ripping Crucial off did you? Your making RAM prices higher than they need to be.

If you overclock and go out of spec take responsability and take the loss, might I suggest you buy some RAM that's rated @ 2.3-2.4v then run it at those voltages if they go wrong you then have a valid claim.

Sorry but it makes me angry I pay a premium for RAM that's rated at a higher voltage to avoid what's happened to you.

I know loads of other people do it and they also anger me, but if your going to do it then go ahead and don't post what your doing on here, we really don't need to know that your obtaining replacement goods by deception.

Don't take it personal it applies to all that do it, I'm having a bad day one of my PC's is dead whilst running @ the recommended settings and it's 4 days out of warranty.
