Both Sticks(Stock timings, v, freq, using slots 1,3)

Stick1 in slot1

Stick1 in slot3

HMMM, lets try the other stick, slot1

oh, and how do you take the heatsink off RAM?(i know ONE way, just curious if there was a RIGHT way)

and, for the record, This is the wrong way..

Ouch!

Wasn't your RAM under warranty? Why would you take off the heatsinks?

the sticks arent under warranty, i don't think, i dunno, i bought them from martini161 a year ago and they've been overclocked and overvolted every day of their life

I thought all ram had a lifetime warranty?

Meh, the next RAM i'm gonna buy will be DDR3 anyways unless my current stick dies as well, with either a Phenom II X4 or an i7, i'm too much of a power user to stick with 2 cores, wayy too much encoding and compressing now

Unfortunately I don't see the pics, but it sounds like it looks bad o.o

first four pics are memtest shots(one of which gave 58,000 errors in 28% of one pass, at all stock settings) and the latter 2 is the heatsinks being ripped off the sticks, taking the memory chips with them
