stone_cold_Jimi Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 But im pretty certain my memory is screwed too. Same problem as the rest of you, gradually die till they're no more. Great shame cause there brillant when they work Exactly, they're brilliant when they work. So why do they stop working? I still think heat is the issue. Heat kills microelectronics, fact. I've had temp probes on mine for a few weeks and know it will head for 55C or more left uncooled. That is not healthy. 92mm fan, 31, 32 degrees under load, better. But some say their replacement kits are running cooler. Can we track this? Are they proving ok? I suppose for peace of mind, I'll have to buy something else anyway, just in case. Damn. BTW FP, hi everyone, Happy New Year and all. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElAguila Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Heat was not an issue in my case. I have active cooling inside a very cooled case kept in a cooled room. The temp probe on the outside of the heatspreader never went above 30C with active cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temp probe on the outside of the heatspreader never went above 30C with active cooling. If it isn't the heat then what else could it be? Look at what most of the motherboards that people are using. It seems to be trend with that particular motherboard. My case on the inside is running hotter than yours and yet my Crucial Ballistic has been running steadily over 260mhz 1:1 3,3,3,8 1T for nearly 3 months now on my MSI K8N Neo4. My memory batch number 1115 just like most of you people are having problem with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT by RGone... Because the problems seem to stuck mostly on 2 motherboard manufactures and that is Abit and DFI. I looked through the MSI motherboard fourms also and I don't even see anyone mention any problems with their memory sticks. Show me a long post on any other motherboard maker besides Abit and DFI that are having a problem with the Crucial Ballistic. I think the problem almost disappeared with Abit AN8 Ultra with a new bios update as I haven't seen any recent posts about it anymore on the Abit fourms for that particular motherboard.
