1.) How did the memory die? Idle, load, reboot?
9 of them were with in the first week or so and had never seen over 1.7v. I don't know exactly what caused it every time but they were all only used for 32M testing and I would notice in my task manager the missing memory that would lead me to it. 6 of them were ones that had seen upwards of 1.78v and would crap out during a session. 6 more were DOA.
2.) What exactly happened? freeze, errors, crash, system turned off, system rebooted, blue screen, black screenMost of the time it was missing available memory but if I was installing an OS it would just blue screen the few times I realized it was bad.
3.) What board, pcb rev and bios version did you use?
EVGA 759 with whatever original BIOS that came with at the time. Same with RE2.
4.) What speed and timings did you run the memory at when it died?
Most of my testing was done @ 7-7-7-20 1T/7-7-6-18 1T @ 2000MHz usually.Every one that died, I was not sure of the exact time of death except I did have one set that lost a stick after a 1050 7-7-6-18 1T session of 32M testing @1.78v where about two hours in I noticed the missing memory in the task manager....
5.) what speed and timings did you run the memory at most of the time?
answered above
6.) What vtt did you run when the memory died?
anywhere from 1.4 to 1.6v
7.) what vtt did you run the memory at most of the time?same as above
All these sticks were Kingston Hyperx sticks and while I have lost quite a few as you can see I do have one 3x2GB kit that I have been benching up to 1.85v for many many hours over the past month. I have not seen any degradation of any kind. I have become quite superstitious with these IC's and am convinced that as long as I do not remove the sticks from the slots I will be ok. It may sound crazy but this crazy theory has worked for me so far
One last observation....it has always been every time for me on both boards used that it was the 1st channel that always went bad. EVERY TIME.
