Elpida Hyper Graveyard

[billdavis]

6 kingston hyperx 6gb kits from march 4 were doa

I will report what they send me for the new ones

[saaya]

wow... sounds like the shop is not testing returns though and just putting them back on the shelf...

[KILLER_K]

Kington doesn't ask for a receipt. You just fill out the rma info and then you get to send it in.If you want your money back the you need a receipt for it to get that back.

Sounds a lot like Wal-Mart, placing return items back on the shelf.....

One of my Sticks of Corsair DominatorGT 3x2Gb 2000 cas7 , turning my System on this morning and i was greted with bsod trying to boot , until i remove and tested them , i found 2sticks fully functional and one stick completely dead , 1.65v running at 1800 cas7

[Economist]

My system was fine for months and suddenly over a week I was getting this "Page Fault in Non-Paged" area BSOD and random shutdowns while just surfing the web. So after testing everything I decided to run memtest86 v2.11 overnight. After 18 passes I got 172032 errors!

i sent my OCZ blade 2000mhz kit for rma , i been waiting almost a month , im spuing, been 1 1/2 months sinse i orderd it and still dont have any ram, this is what ocz said to me

In order to build 2000 rated ram, we have to get IC's that will pass testing at 2000. The yield on IC's that run that fast is not good. The IC's we are buying are not running that fast, which means we can't build modules.

I will find out, what we can do tomorrow, it is after midnight here and the office is closed in California.

meanwhile back at the ranch im still waiting !!

Yeah ocz blade 2000mhz cas9 are micron based and yield is down. Maybe ask for different kit for replacement ?

[freshy]

i did, i told them OCZ should send me a cas 7 kit instead , for stuffing me around for so long, see what happens , all i know is im really starting to get pissed off ! this has dragged on for 1 1/2 months

ive always wanted ocz ram but im not to happy with their service with my first ocz experience

edit... and before i bought the kit, i asked if 2000mhz CAS9 Blades had elpida IC's

Hello,
Yes that part can have Elpida IC's.
We have not purchased the Hyper IC's for 3 months now though, depending on how old the retailer stock is, they not be Elpida.

i guess i was unlucky ! all 6gb showed up in windows but 1 stick failed memtest and prime/linx

[bingo13]

+1 stick again

OCZ blade @ 2200 cl7 1.78 passed just one Everest test,restart BSOD and one stick dead

and the winner is? Hiwa 9 sticks Hyper killer

I have killed 27, then add in Raja's 9, and we are at 36 here out of 40 modules being killed. That explains our chicken little phobia with Hypers..

PhoooooaR..... 36 kits... madness!!! touch wood my GT kit is working still - it's continuing life on Asus P6T6 WS Revo right now

That's hilarious.

I know it is not the case but it makes me picture Bingo13 with his shoes off, wearing a wool sweater, petting a kitty cat, and rubbing his toes in deep shag carpet while installing modules.

Let's hope this Elpida madness is behind us.

Mine still going strong, save the one bad stick out of the box. Any chance I can RMA just one stick? I'm not giving up my 2 that do 1800+ 6-6-5 1.66v ( 1.65v not an option )

Yeah, I only do that with Corsair's modules. GSkill sent me the sweater, OCZ sent me the cat, and Patriot installed the carpet.

I just hit 1000 hours of testing with the Dominator GT 2200 kit, so I think these latest batches are good to go now.

lol

Update guys:
I got the HyperX 2000Mhz Cas8 Kit from RMA today, apparently Kingston 2000Mhz C8 is still alive.
I got the same product, probably Elpidia Hyper-> KHX2000C8D3T1K3/6GX.
Don't know which week it is, I hope it is working.
So what I said earlier regarding the BBSE kits is probably wrong, which is good

[eva2000]

LOL Mike and Gary

That's good news, probably they have identified the bad batches by now!

You did well, I only got sent the modules. What do I have to do for the extras - (especially the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:)?

[The-Fox]

Hopefully they did, the customs and shipping of the RMA had cost me about 1/2 of it's retail value so if they die again I am not going to RMA them.

RMA was superfast
I sent the package on Sunday noon from Israel to UK (we are working here on Sunday ) and I got a phone call from UPS by Friday morning that the package has hit the Customs, but those lazy guys don't work on Friday , so I got it today.


George, do you know what digit(s) on the label of the HyperX modules represents the week ?

[eva2000]

all i know - don't think there is a date number ?

[Booj]

This is it I think, on the pcb.

yep this is a dead stick

[eva2000]

Booj, you jinxed me LOL

Just tried my RMA replacement Kingston 2000C8 Elpida Hyper in P6T6 WS Revolution and guess what one module is completely undetected in all 6 dimm slots even at 133bclk 1066mhz 8-8-8-24 1.66v speeds!! Guess another RMA to Kingston again - probably wait till their elpida hyper cas8 stock filter down to Australia first heh.

[Booj]

aaah that sucks, sorry to jinx ya mate

Yeah thats my reasoning for why i'm not getting mine replaced for the time being, i'll wait for all the bad stock and dust to settle before I get replacements. My pi times get killed but dual ch works good enough for 3d
