I will be staying as far away as possible,even if it is dirt cheap, from any kind of Elpida Hypers until the new 55nm fabrication process matures and until they don't die when using it in conventional 24/7 operations.They are great for benching but drop dead like flies when they are stressed for a longer periods of time(as simple as overnight Memtest).This is with just stock or a bit over stock voltages in my case(1.65-1.68).I mean spending money is one thing(I don't mind spending insane amount of money on my favourite hobby), but the worst and frustrating part is figuring out why your OC that was rock solid stable before has become very(I mean VERY) unstable suddenly. I have been there and done that so many times with so many kits with Elpida Hypers on them. The sad part is I have experienced it so much that I could tell that the RAM has degraded(by just looking at the symptoms) without even running Memtest . I only run Memtest for a confirmation and the RMA process starts..
