    Yeah Achim, I'd also like to see if and how it was the DRAM volts that killed the chip priming. I mean 2.25V is not a lot at all.

    Three things where different that day.

    1. I did that temp torture.
    2. Applied more than 2,2V to the ram
    3. Ran at 2,6GHz (max before 2,55GHz on the M2A-VM)

    AMD will indeed detect that i ran at high voltages. I don't know how close they inspect those chips they get for rma and if they can detect those memory caused failures. I assume they'l decline the request just because of the voltages and don't look any further, so just in case i ordered an 9600be.

    EDIT: these memory issues seem to have gone now, have not heard of chips dying in the last time. But mine was from an very early batch can be only thoose early ones where affected.
