...is a bad and utterly stupid idea
Wasnt really trying to put AS5, it died a few days ago and since i had rewritten some SPD settings it wouldnt be very honest of me to try to RMA it. Its only 512MB 667MHz anyway, with the old type heatspreader, but did great till its last breath, just last week i had it running 1233MHz/6-6-6-18 Orthos blend stable for a few minutes.
As one can see, 5 of 8 ICs snapped right off, the pins stayed in the pcb, thats a helluva glue Crucial used there. This little surgery confirmed its D9GMH, i had expected that much since this stick took over for a set of Corsair 5400ULs back when i bought it, the ULs never had a chance to keep up.
