Hiya Folks!
Been going through a lot of older ddr3 and, much to my chagrin, quite a few are dead-ish. They throw 10 or 26 errors (on a z97ocf) or send the board in to constant looping.
Is there any way to possibly revive them? Someone here said to remove the heatsinks, soak them for a couple hours in isopropyl alcohol then bake them in the oven for about a 1/2 hour at 50C.
Does that sound right? Is the temperature correct (don't think my oven allows setting such a low temp)? Is it even possible that this could work? Anyone here successfully brought the dead back to life?
Appreciate any tips, guidance, etc. Figure I'll try a crappy, disposable stick or 2 first and, if whatever process works, move to the nicer ones.
Thanks in advance!!!
