Rutherford1337 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi, My pair of Corsair 8 GB DDR3L RAM (2 x 4 GB) has the SPD of both DIMMs corrupted. These are the images from CPU-Z: http://imgur.com/1w1sXUz http://imgur.com/9f3Kgiv (the second DIMM has an empty SPD report) http://imgur.com/bTjD9gt So, I'm intending to RMA it. But first, I want to ask you if there is a way to repair it by myself (without voiding the warranty). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 How are you concluding that the SPD is corrupted? Are you having issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 that ram is supposed to run at 2t, yours runs at 1t which of course is faster so if you dont have any issues with performance, ignore the SPD. you may not get a pair back that runs as nice. /.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I test the RAM in memtest86/memtest86+ or Windows Memory Diagnostic it reports some errors (3-4 in memtest86). And, as you can see in the screens from above the SPD info is corrupted. This is my conclusion, though I'm not a RAM expert. Neither CPU-Z, nor Aida64 or memtest read the SPD info correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 A utility not reading the SPD correctly is not a sign of corruption. You have not given any system information and it's impossible to assist you without it. Aside from the Memory tests, what issues are you having?
