Ouch! #-o

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

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

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
