Attention Dead Micron D9 Owners

[Leeghoofd]

one hyper going into the freezer tonite :p

[veseliburek]

same thing happened to me... my friend brought me a athlon x2 4200+ that was not working, when I put it in my pc, it doesn't give any signals (not even on the PCI debug card) , so I putted it in the freezer for 2 days and it was working last night, overclocked well to 3ghz, this morning it isn't working again...
back to the freezer

funny thing is that i didn't know about this thread, at my local forum, a user posted a link that got me here

Linky to the other forums?

try again
@ least 3 times
you can always try the oven @ 420 afterwards
but drivestrenght on them gigabut boards are reall killers

thanx for the reply man,you mean 420 F 8 minutes in oven?or 20 minutes dont know the time

yup 8 min
but try freezing it first a few times
the over is like a desperate attempy
if you can rma i would skip the oven

i've read all 12 pages about d9 and i decided to put the rams in the freezer at a colder temp =) maybe the temperature was the issue

[[XC] Oj101]

Perhaps for a bit longer too? When I first tried it was overnight

i put a set of ballistix d9gmh a few months back for 3 hours and now they run better than before
last year i had to put a set of firestix 3 times before they got fixed

When I discovered the trick I thought if I helped one person I'd accomplished something, it's really good to know that you're one of many I've helped and you've been helped twice over Keep clocking hard my friend

[El Gappo]

Had some d9 GKX ( the corsair dominator hand picked ones) They arrived DOA freezer for the night and no luck

Got some single sided kingston ones today, killed them in a matter of hours Stuck em in the freezer got em out and BINGO
Way better than before as well

i been doin that to electric components for 20 + years lol

For how long have you been doing it to RAM? And do you have an explanation as to why it works?

its the solder that expands contracts that fixes it
i been doin it mainly for circuit boards
when i was 5 i learned if i put a dead battery in freezer i would get more life from it
i first did a set of ddr years ago didnt work

wohoooo !!! after 1-2 days in freezer i tried to boot them but no luck and today i decided to heat the rams wtih heat gun at 400 C for two minutes..and boommmm.my cellshocks are back in business thank you guys..this method rocks

[fatguy1992]

I wish this method worked for me I have 6GB of dead D9's

did you bombard your d9 over 2.8v?

[I_shot]

hımm i cant pass memtest at 2.3V even at 800 mhz cas5..i think i need to put them back in the freezer again

[[XC] Oj101]

I did, sometimes on air DI got me this though http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=417271 It was well worth the dead set I ended up with

edit:2.4 v solved the problem..works like a charm now..

last edit:2.3 v 1000 mhz 4 4 4 12(after second freeze)

[I_shot]

guys one of my stick works great but the other one needs higher voltages.i have to set the voltage to 2.6v for 1066 mhz 4 4 4 12 at 2.5 v memtest gives error...back to freeze again ?

I just wanted to say thnx a bunchfor posting in this thread the method for recovering operation of my ram. Saved me the hassle of an rma on my ballistixs tracer. I placed one stick that was hanging the post process in the freezer and forgot it for three weeks. Found it again while looking for ice cream on a munchie attack. Popped it in my sons puter after warming and drying was finished and voila its working again.

[[XC] Oj101]

Cool, you owe me an ice-cream
