Elpida Hyper Graveyard

[xpatar]

My second kit of GT's after five months mostly of normal usage, started giving me troubles. BOSD and rebooting. Memtest v.4 reported lots of errors.
I just sent them back for a replacement.
What a disappointment for such an expensive kit.

Another set of mushkin redline 2000mhz down the drain.

i wonder for how much longer we will see elpida kits go belly up... it seems some worked fine for over 6 months before they failed... and the problem was fixed almost 6 months ago... but some continued to use bad stock for a while longer, plus there was some inventory in shops that was never recalled... so i guess we will continue to see reports of dead elpida kits well within 2010

really makes you wonder if we will see hardware degrade like this more and more often in future with smaller and smaller mfc processes...

OCZ Blade 2000 7-8-7 Kit buh bye. Third set to fail. At least this one lasted 6 months before failing. Never even took the things above rated specs. Was too afraid too. Guess I was prolonging the inevitable. Now there are none in stock for the forseeable future.

Ouch sorry to hear.. my Corsair Dominator GT 2000C7 still going strong for nearly 10 months now max 1.96v vdimm applied for benching. But my 6GB Kingston 2000c8 on my 2nd set which has 1 module failed. So 1 out of 3 track record.

[saaya]

but that kit is from a "good old batch" isnt it?
or is it from one of the whimpy batches?

[eva2000]

Yeah i suspect it's from very early/old batches indeed for GTs The kingstons no idea... been waiting till local disty has new replacements before i rma my kingstons.

[EvoCarlos]

well the khx2000cl8 kit that kingston sent me from rma now work great

it turns out that the msi eclipse sli and the foxconn bumrage gti dont support them very well

buy when in the clasy 760 they fly with low volts
have been running 7-8-7-20-69-1t @1.74v @ around 1100mhz +/- 20mhz

there still strong i only use them for benching so god knows how they would be on 24/7 lol

Its a damn shame. I usually ran these things at 6-6-5-16-1T 1.60v @ 1600 for most of the time too. It only needed 1.24vtt set in the BIOS. 21x200 was no problem at those speeds. You just can't find memory like this any more.

I'm in the process of RMAing them but there is no replacement in stock, so I might give the 1600 Animals a shot if they have them...they are rated at 6-6-6 for 1600 and are supposedly 2000 binned.

I don't even care about 2000 memory any more. Too much of a hassle. I just want some good memory that can run 1600-1700 at tight timings so I can try to take this baby to 21 x 210 on air

Does anyone know if Microcenter was one of the places to have Corsair pull the hypers off the shelves? as i just ordered a kit of Dominator GT's from them. I don't want to get stuck with dead ram on my new build as i don't have any replacement DDR3.

I don't think you will find any bad batches anymore. Besides, the Corsair GT's got a new type number after the bad batches so it's easy to confirm you got the right ones.

[Don_Dan]

All the Dominator GT you can buy right now should be fixed, old stock has PNs starting with TR, the new ones start with CMG.

[neo mike]

I can confirm that my Corsair 2000 cas 8 4gig GT kit is hypers , and they clock sweeet on AMD. I hope they dont fry on me. There rated for 1.65 what is the max safe voltage for 24/7 ?

[SAE]

I guess: 1.65V^^

[der8auer]

One module of my OCZ Blade 2000 CL7 died today Bluescreens and MemTest shows tonns of errors...

[SAE]

Too bad^^.
OCZ has no stock anymore and is replacing them with other modules or refunding the money.

[der8auer]

Unfortunately, yes

Now i'm looking for a new kit with same performance. My OCZ kit ran at 970MHz CL6-7-6-18 1T @ 1,75V SuperPi32m stable.

What about the PI-Series from G.SKILL? e.g. http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=251

Or something from corsair?...

[SAE]

Those G.skill are PCS, iirc, thus the high trcd and trp. I can only recommend Corsair's products, my GT 2000C7 are great. GTX2 should be even greater, if you can get a hold of them.

[der8auer]

Okay. Yes i already found this one: https://shop.corsair.com/store/item_view.aspx?id=766411 but not in stock...

What about 3x https://shop.corsair.com/store/item_...spx?id=1454418 or 3x https://shop.corsair.com/store/item_...spx?id=1542371 ?

[Mafio]

your second and third link are the same PSC of the g.skill PIS, they are all very funny but not the best choice if you want the best performance.
if you want good elpida hyper at decent price you should get the super talent 2000 cas7, 2000 cas8 or 2200 cas8.
they have the best value for bucks.

check in this section, here you can find many threads and results

[DEVIL K-ce]

Goodram Pro 2000 CL7 3 x 2GB kit with ofc Elpida Hyper still are strong. Mem is rated from 1.7 to 1.9 vdimm at label, running stron from some time 2k 7-8-7-21 at 1.74v

If You can get it, then thake it

[voklskier4452]

Had a kit of kingston hyper X 2000mhz 8-8-8 3gb die on me. No warning at all, PC refused to boot one day and it was the ram, eventually two sticks died before i could RMA.

I am sitting on another kit of the hyper Xs which i believe are MNH-Es and I also have a kit of Gskill Perfect storms which I know are MNH-Es and they are working perfectly

[BenchZowner]

One of my sticks died recently
It was a MGH-E DIMM from my A-data DDR3-2000X cherrypicked kit.
I was using the kit on my everyday X58 setup at just DDR3-1066 8-8-8-31 @ 1.57V the last 5 weeks or so, and well... suddenly I started getting 4GBs of RAM in most of my power on/restarts.
I troubleshooted the issue, and found that one of the sticks is dead ( can't work at any other setting than... DDR3-1066 9-9-9-31 @ 1.62V )

[saaya]

wow after all this time heh...

[Splave]

I lost a stick of my mgh-e a week ago (t1 hyperX 3x1gb kit) they are run pretty hard though, usually around 1.8v. So now its a p55 benching kit
