Well I just had a lemon and it sorta scarred me for a while- however I should be open minded since many tech changes have happened in the past few years.
Btw I have literally abused G.Skill and they still performed- carried in pocket without protection all day-- handled roughly without gloves/static proof, wiped my forehead with it and just abused horridly. Ran great for as long as I had it- ended up sellin the machine to pay bills, shoulda just forgot bills and kept the machine lol.
Least someone laughed at that.. although I might Spraypaint that on my PSU i have now just for laughs....
lol...That's the weirdest abuse I've heard with RAM. But that's great if they can withstand the kind of abuse, you've put them through. I would never do such a thing to memory sticks.
