Hi, I have a wierd story about my ram's death.
Back about 2 months ago my only stick of ddr ram died, running at 2.7v(however it was at 2.8v for a short time).
So i call up crucial and rma it, except i pay for a new one(and plan on sending the old one back), so they would credit my card when they recieve the old one.
Anyways a few days later my ram magicily starts working again(this is 2 weeks after it died).
So I keep it since I could use more ram anyways(remember I did pay for the new one, but they gave me the old $36 price )
Everythings fine until about 2 days ago my ram(the same stick dies again) So I guess I'm going to rma it (for real), but theres no hurry since I got another module now.
On with my question-
Do you think I overvolted my ram, or is it just defected, now I'm running at [email protected], but would like to try 2.9v, but I'm afriad it's not safe.
I have good case cooling(100cfm+), but no ramsinks/heat spreaders.
So should I try 2.9v, stay at 2.8v, or go back to 2.7v?
