Why did you use that gum on your tracers?
Obviously you've voided the warranty on your ram.

Crucial won't accept RMA when you've done that on your ram.
You shouldn't have done that in the first place.

Unless you have a way to remove those gums without leaving a single trace, Crucial won't accept your ram at all when you want to RMA.

Anyway, i know the reason why you need higher vdimm just to stabilize your system compared to when you first bought your ram. I don't know how to explain it, but i'll get my sifu to put on a new thread about using higher vdimm on hardwares.

By the way, you should've bought Vizo Armada and remove the fan rotor and frame just like what you did on your own modded ram cooler.
Vizo Armada has it's own clip on each side of the ram cooler.

Take a look on the picture below.

That's right.
This is what i've always wanted my sifu to make a new thread about because his knowledge in electronics is far far better than me.

Anyway, nope, D9 doesn't need that kind of voltage just to run at stock speed.
The reason why TS need to pump very high voltage is because he used high voltage from the start, thus, he deteorate the chip, which makes the ram needing more and more voltage as time passes through.

One time, that ram will fail to boot up at any voltage, trust me.
TS should've RMA'ed his ram when he first see that his ram can't even boot at 2.2Volts at stock voltage anymore.

But now that he'd use some gums on the ram, the warranty is void, unless he can remove all the gum without leaving a trace of the gum on the ram and without a single scratch caused by removing the gum.

Owh, good for you then.
Now i suggest you to RMA that ram before it's burnt.

Next time you want to use it at stock speed DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz @ 4-4-4-12, just use 1.9 ~ 1.95Volts.
The ram should be stable at that speed on those voltage. Unless your memory controller is faulty, then you might want to RMA your board too.

Faulty memory controller could lead into unstable system too.
It's not 100% faulty, it's the same as the ram, it deteorates as times goes by.

I do not know as i'm not a hardcore oc'er, infact, i don't really overclock my ram.
I've always used my ram at stock speed.

I only overclock processors. [Before i retire from desktop PC world ]
