RMA'd parts need RMA


NXIL

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I sent in two PC2100 XMS modules in November, and got back two PC-2700 CM64SD256-700 256M modules, which was fine--they are a bit faster, even though they are not from the XMS line.

 

However, I just finally went to use these two modules in a P4 system:

 

P4 2.4Mhz 533 FSB (333).

Intel motherboard (Intel G865GLC)

This system has been running fine for months with a 512 module @333. It also runs and tests out fine with another module a 256M PC3200 stick. (runs at 333)--these other memory modules run fine.

 

One of the modules Corsair sent tests out fine with MEMTEST, the other won't even boot. Testing both together, MEMTEST runs for about 5 minutes, then locks up.

 

The original RMA number was R99592

 

I did notice that the RMA'd memory I was sent was a little beat up--the DRAM chips themselves were a bit worn, and, at least one looks like it either had a sticker or heat sinks taken off of it.

 

Request RMA for these--possible to send the two 256M modules back and get one 512 (or 2 x 256) modules that have the heat spreader (XMS?) like the 2100 speed modules I originally RMA'd?

 

Thanks very much for your help--

 

Jim
