October 23, 201213 yr I love this Boards too - it's fun to play around with the good "old" stuff again - nice to see that there are so much RE's "alive". You even have some working Micron D9GT's i see - wanna sell?! Unfortunately my Kits don't work anymore. GTR/GTS - best choice for this Boards.
October 23, 201213 yr I have this Board for about 3 years now and I used in my best fsb submission (68xMhz) and I will never sell this board. Same with the ram: I got two and a half Kits with D9GTR/S. One Cellshock 1800 CL8, one TRS 1333 Value, and a half-dead Crucial "yellow-stick" Kit. All of them I will keep, specially the black Cellshock
October 23, 201213 yr Author I wouldn't do it in another way - will never the sell my Board - just the best Board i ever had - gave me so much Points and fun. So it has already an idealistic value for me. Aaaahhhh - the good black Cellshocks (GTR) - i have a kit too and also a yellow GTS ballistix Kit but how i said - both dead, not even one stick is fuc**** working anymore.
October 23, 201213 yr Crew Your Cellshock kit is dead? The one that didn't like much voltage? Damn... My kit is still alive, the 1800C7D as well...
October 23, 201213 yr Author Yeap - the good not much voltage liking kit (great english - german mix ) Not really sure why, because it ran like hell before my benching timeout around 2 years ago. Some month later: no boot on any board - both sticks dead. Your both are lucky men. Edited October 23, 201213 yr by DopeLex
October 23, 201213 yr Crew That sucks. Did you try freezing them? Well, I don't consider myself that lucky, I tried to find some more RAM with D9GTx and bought two kits with D9GTS, one clocks like crap on CL6 and CL7, the other one was dead when I got it. Too bad I can't join this competition, it would have been nice to test my E8600s. ^^
October 23, 201213 yr Author Freezing? Never heard about that - only baking in an oven, made that several times with gfx's. Maybe i should give it a try - can't get worse than now. Just put the sticks in a freezer bag and then in the freezer? How long and something special i have to take care about? Would be such a great thing if this would really help. Thats also sad - bought the kits on ebay or on a forum? Why you can't compete? Board dead or lack of time? Also tested my e8200 - no boot above 620 on air - maybe i will test my e8500 tomorrow which i still never checked for max fsb, depends on how much time i'll have after work.
October 23, 201213 yr Crew No, that's not what I meant, Karl, I mean putting them in the freezer for a day or two, and then take them out again. Some people have reported they could fix their RAM that way, I tried it on a set of dead D9GMH, it didn't work for me but maybe you can give it a try. Just make sure they're dry when you test them again. ( Thread ) The board is fine, but I'm in Munich and all my hardware is at home. I bought the kits on ebay like most of my hardware. The Cellshock and Corsair sticks were also bought on ebay so I guess I can be quite happy. Edited October 23, 201213 yr by Don_Dan added link
October 23, 201213 yr Author Ah that makes sense - quite difficult to be at 2 places at the same time. I will give the freezer a try - thx Daniel.
