Attention Dead Micron D9 Owners

[OldChap]

Well it was worth a try, 24hours in the freezer 2 in front of a fan then......still dead.

I'm now leaving in for a week but only cos I'm a real optomist

[OldChap]

I'll be checking tomorrow just how cold the freezers at work are....if <-18 deg then the ram can live in one of those for a week

[nullface]

Hm, mine D9MGH are still dead, frezzer@-5C/30Hour's

[TheGanG]

One of my Kingston Hyperx 1066 SLi sticks fatally stopped working and after a while (a week or more) working again "without vaseline or deep freezer" just wrapped 'em with aluminum foil for saving their lives I love 'em...

[zsamz_]

for those who failled warm them up then freeze quickly

-5'c isn't very cold, try something colder maybe?

[I34z1k]

Jo, I think our freezers/fridges are colder here in SA. I mean two of our fridges (Yes not freezers) are between 2c and -3c.

[Ket]

Freezer didn't work for me.. maybe I need to leave them in longer than 24hrs, but for me it was a no-go.

[rintamarotta]

Mine worked fine after put em to Dice in plastic bag, yeah my freezer goes only to -5*c so DICE is other option

Ooh I should try LN2 overnight

Please vote Yes

[PPInDaHouse]

Im trying the same with a D9GMH kit at the moment, tomorrow will see if it works correctly again and give some feedback here

Please vote Yes

too cold

[Slovnaft]

too cold

BUT sERIouSLY. the Micron data sheets list the min storage temp at -105*C for D9s.
So I wouldn't do that...

[[XC] Oj101]

Well they run under LN2 so I'm sure they'd be fine. Anyway, my sticks are doing 3.3v/DI this weekend, wish me luck

[Revv23]

No g ofor me... Off to RMA they go.

well min run temp and min storage temp are entriely different specs.

[Revv23]

Oh C'mon this is XS when have we ever listened to min or max recommended anything?

[Slovnaft]

Oh C'mon this is XS when have we ever listened to min or max recommended anything?

well those specs aren't retail fab specs or end user spec, they're direct maf'g which tend to be a lot sterner than 'reccommendations'. -105*C most likely represents the minimum temp the silicon itself can withstand for extended periods of time without experiencing fatal thermal warping.

Awesome, thanks for the attempted explanation - first person to do so

[marauder16]

this may explain why my Cellshock D9's keep reviving every time. I used to use them for couple of months for 24/7 on really tight timmings and 2.4V, eventually they would refuse too boot. Then I would just change them with another kit (this one from my sig) and use that kit - not too much OCed. After like a month that they've spent in the drawer I would try them and they would boot normally again, with same OCing capabilities. Till now, I didn't know why this happened but it seems they just needed to chill-out a bit

[PPInDaHouse]

well, I put a dead D9GMH kit on the freezer for last night, looks like only one of the sticks is alive (1360 CAS5) now, will try again with the other one

[Ket]

I'll shove my D9s in the freezer again later. Try for a week this time @ -25c, long shot, but worth a go I guess.

it wont matter how long its frozen
just gotta get luck with shrinkage @ low temps n expansion @ room temp

[[XC] Hicks121]

Tried my Ballistix pc8500 d9's & they still wouldnt go. Freezer is @ -21c & left them in there for around 36 hours.

[dro]

i have a pair of team xtreem cl4 that sorta wouldnt boot in dual channel occasionally
shud i try freezing them guys?
