something like this

**leoy** · 11-13-2008, 03:28 AM

2 days ago i rmaed my team D9gmh, because the degraded(couldn't do 4cl) and took some a-data

.....

I am sure i could get them back to where they were...shame

**nullface** · 11-13-2008, 09:01 AM

I think it worked on my 8800GT SSC, it can do 2000MHz on the ram again

Or at least i have played a bit of L4D and FC2 without any problems.
The ram on it degraded or

ed op so taht they could max run 1870Mhz, 12H in the freezer and it looks like it MIGHT fix it, but im not sure yey, gona game some Crysis i run a 3Dmark to test.

I have 3 broken WD drives hare (ironically they died because of cold...)

I'll try to put them in the freezer for like 21h, maybe I can cure them

**[XC] riptide** · 11-13-2008, 09:42 AM

2 weeks later and my sticks are still working.

yes...lets hope most is bench-mem....then it wouldnt realy matter

**George_o/c** · 11-14-2008, 02:02 PM

My kingston kit is still working fine, as far as both memtest + benching is concerned

Can't believe it, honestly

**[XC] Oj101** · 11-14-2008, 10:40 PM

I thought my stick had died, then I found sellotape on two of the pins

**Ket** · 11-15-2008, 07:30 AM

My D9s are still in the freezer

they will probably live there for some time as I cant be bothered with removing my XTC mem cooler to test

**SAE** · 11-15-2008, 03:55 PM

Woooohoooo! Worked with two sticks I tried. Put them into the freezer yesterday for 24h. Took the out 2h ago and let them sit at room temp (21°C)... To be sure they are fart-dry I was using a hairdryer afterwards.

Now both sticks - 1 512MB Mushy XP4000 UTT and 1 512MB OCZ VX4000GE UTT now running memtest win or 32m SuperPi.
The Mushy sometimes did not boot up (boards been beeping), and then was working like hell again after letting it sit a while in a box. The VX was suddely dead a few weeks ago. Dunno why, but I refused booting in any board (nf3 or nf4) @any voltage/clocks. Now it's back and strong like before it seems.

I'll just have an eye on them though... but I am really impressed! Thanks a lot.

One of my old D9GMH Mushkin sticks (which was in the retirement home ie. backup rig) started throwing up errors yesterday.

I'm going to try this!

**noxon** · 11-23-2008, 02:01 PM

1 Cellshock pc6400 stick died last week, tested on 3 mobos but no boot, 24h in the cold and its working again

**Ket** · 11-24-2008, 06:41 AM

WooHAA! One of my dead D9 sticks is alive again

it used to refuse to boot with anything less than 2.2v, now its booting 1.8v @ 800MHz 4-4-4-12

other stick needs a little more freezing.

how long did you put it on a freezer?

thanks

**Ket** · 11-24-2008, 07:32 AM

They lived in the freezer for about 2 weeks @ -25c

I really abused this kit though, 2.55v 1180MHz 4-4-4-12, no active cooling

If this kit can be fully revived I'll take much better care of them.

**DJSUB** · 11-24-2008, 08:00 AM

thanks bro!

i will do the same thing if my mems voltage didn't back to normal

**Ket** · 12-02-2008, 05:14 AM

Bump. Hows everybodys sticks after all the freezing? Any random deaths?

**Shiranui Gen-An** · 12-02-2008, 05:34 AM

Didn't work for a DOA OCZ FlexXLC 9200 D9GMH stick.

**Elektrosadist** · 12-02-2008, 05:40 AM

didn't work for my stick either. Mushkin XP 8500 5-5-4-12. I totally forgot about it. Stick was in freezer for over a week and still has lots of errors.

well i didn't expect anything else but it was worth a try.

**[XC] Oj101** · 12-03-2008, 01:17 AM

Try wrapping it in tinfoil and putting it in the oven at 200'c for 20 minutes, it's worked for me

**Ket** · 12-03-2008, 04:08 PM

lol people are trying to save sticks, not mass-murder Oj

**zsamz_** · 12-03-2008, 04:14 PM

they bake them @ higher temps so no danger

**radaja** · 12-03-2008, 07:07 PM

do you think this would work for my new kit of mushkin 2x1 pc8000 redlines that arrived with one stick that wont boot. or is this stick just no good. since it never worked?

**[XC] Oj101** · 12-04-2008, 12:04 AM

Ket, someone mentioned it a few pages back. Freezing didn't work on one of my dead sticks so I put it in a hot place with no fire escape and it works again
