CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 HeatSink Problem

Recommended Posts

Have been running that RAM since Jan 2011 without problems on my SandyBridge i2600K and Asus P8P67 Deluxe board.

However, with the B3 exchange program, I had to re-install the new MB.

In the process, the heatsink of one of the 2x4gb memory slipped slightly.

I removed the RAM to investigate and noticed that one side of the RAM heatsink had partially "unglued" from the chips inside. I reseated the heatsink in its initial position (flush with the other heatsink and its original position).

I am now making tests to verify if they are OK.

However, I feel the bond may not be as thigh as before.

Any ideas?

You will have to use a physical address for us to ship to, but you can request the RMA then contact our customer service and work that out but you may have to do that by phone
