mazakman Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Back in May I had a socket A motherboard meltdown (I know... I'm old school ), and then the memory that I had (Corsair twinx 512-3200c2pt, 2x 256 about 4 years old) went south of the border too. Seemed like Murphy came for a visit and didn't wanna leave. :angry2: Well a couple of weeks ago I decided to see if I could send my 2 sticks of ram back to Corsair. Went through the channels on their forums, completed the online RMA request, got an RMA number and sent the 2 sticks to them around 2 weeks ago... I got home from work today to find that UPS overnight express had just delivered a parcel of brand new twinx1024-3200c2. Corsair doesn't manufacture 256 sticks anymore (I don't know of any reputable memory manufacturers that still do besides Kingston, but I could be mistaken) so I guess it's my gain. I know that it's not great ram but to get double of what I sent is a pretty good deal in my book. I'll be setting up another socket A board shortly and will put that ram to good use... might start folding again after not doing so for a quite a while... gotta get a kvm switch... Just a good experience that I needed to share with you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazakman Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Let me know how it works!!! :thumbs-up: I know the pain you went through! Yes indeed you do! I tested the 2 sticks quickly in a 939 board and they booted up fine at 3, 3, 3, 8 timings which is normal according to Corsair (timings have to be set manually to 2, 3, 3, 6 in the bios). Anyways, as I mentionned before, they'll find a home in a socket A board sometime soon and i just wanted to see if they would work. Schwag: I agree that manufacturers should live up to their commitments. I really wasn't expecting anything to come out of this but what they did for me was good business! King, I'm looking forward to that, but can't say when... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeble Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 It's situations like these that create return customers. If something like this happened to me, I'd certainly be more inclined to buy that particular brand in the future. Hey mazak, what's you're avatar?

mazakman Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Thats Frank Zappa if i am right. Yes that's a picture of him a few years before he passed away. I've been listening to his music since I was 14. You probably don't know it but he was one of the most prominent musicians that was against sensorship of music. He spent a lot of time and his own money fighting for what he believed. I guess that a lot of the music that can be played on the radio today can be attributed to his efforts. I miss his witt.
