Based fucking /g/! I thought it was a meme, but I just baked a dead stick of RAM and it's working again!

Anyone else had luck with this?

Pic related, it used to fail before 1%.

Seems like it was random. Windows started behaving weirdly and blue screening all the time.

The only thing I did was turn on XMP, but that shouldn't have broken anything.

what kind of ram is it?
(corsair or generic shit)?
could have been a cold solder joint somewhere?

Corsair XMS3. It's strange because I've 4 sticks running in another PC for 3 years with no problems, and this one was only a year old.

Yeah it finished without a hitch. I'm running it again now just to make sure.

it is the same thing as my dead fat 60gb ps3

shoved that piece of shit in the oven for 9-10 minutes @ 250 degrees celsius (which was a little bit overkill) after i let it cool down. i tested it and it worked again. this was a year ago!

yeah,

probably the rsx or cell (most likely the gpu which is the rsx) had a few cold solder joints that had to be reflowed.
