OCZ Blade Series 6GB DDR3 2000 OCZ3B2000LV6GK

1. Dunno why or how it happened.
2. ONE DAY of ownership and 1 of the 3 sticks shat itself. Was working fine the night I received them and didn't do anything too heavy on them. Went to work the next day, got home and BSOD's yet agian!!!

4. 2000 CL7 8-7-20 1T
5. 2000 CL7 8-7-20 1T to 2100 CL7 8-7-20 1T
6. 1.41v
7. 1.325v to 1.41v.

This RAM was brand spankin new and hadn't had time to play with it really. Maybe 1 hour of run time with them. Very disappointed in this $400 investment. The other two sticks are great though.

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

LOL! My memory just died between pulling it from one board and putting it into another board!

maybe I am not so crazy after all!

Folks mentioning not pulling modules from boards - how are you guys removing modules ? Shutting off psu and power down board and wait a few seconds before removing modules, or just shutdown system with psu power still active to remove modules ?

ouch sorry to hear mate

If the boards are killing the ram shouldn't the board manufacturers being paying for the ram RMA and not the memory manufacturers?

Hyper is not cheap to buy, if you RMA 1 kit thru death, get another and that kit dies also does that not point at the board as the issue?

Im not saying THIS is what should happen, I am asking a serious question here as I see memory dying that has not been massively overvolted and is within the specs laid down by the dram IC manufacturer.

Maybe the problem is at elpida's end ? Very old elpida hyper ics 847/848 - week 47, 48, 2008 ones are clearly different to latest batches and batches in between have varied in performance/oc'ing.

I just received my RMA replacements for Kingston 2000C8 and these are way better than original modules (arrived DOA 1 module and other not hitting rated speeds) i received from just testing the first 2x 2GB modules, testing 3rd 2GB module soon
