Hey drenge,
Hvis I ikke lige har bemærket det, meddelte Corsair forleden, at de midlertidigt vil standse salget af Dominator GT DDR3 moduler på grund af et problem med de Elpida chips, der anvendes i dem.
De Elpida chips i deres 2000c7 og 1866c7 stænger, også kaldet "Hyper", rammes tilsyneladende af en endnu ukendt årsag. Corsair siger selv, at ikke alt for mange kunder er berørt, men at antallet stadig er uacceptabelt for dem, så de trækker alle berørte modeller tilbage, indtil problemet er løst. Corsair vil fortsat støtte ejerne af de allerede solgte moduler.
Jeg har selv haft en del problemer med mine to Dominator GT kit, men må indrømme jeg i første omgang bare troede det var den integrerede hukommelsescontroller på min i7, der var ved at stå af. Af uransagelige årsager kan kun 4 ud af 6GB ses, på nær ved kørsel med alt på auto - og selv dér er det rimelig ustabilt.
We have seen a number of reports across various forums about failures of modules (from Corsair as well as from other memory manufacturers) built with Elpida “Hyper” RAMs. Through lab testing, we have now been able to reproduce similar failures. We are continuing to test to determine the cause of these failures. Note that although a relatively small percentage of “Hyper” ICs appear to be affected, the rate of failure is not acceptable to Corsair or to our customers.
Due to these failures, we will no longer sell Hyper-based modules until the issue can be resolved. We have also have asked our retailers to return any modules they currently have on their shelves. Products impacted include TW3X4G1600C6GTF, TR3X6G1866C7GTF, TR3X6G2000C8GTF, TR3X3G2000C7GTF, and TR3X6G2000C7GTF.
We are working on enhancing our manufacturing and testing process to be able to offer these parts again as soon as possible. We continue to stand behind these modules 100% with our standard warranty, which can be found here.
Nu er bolden bare begyndt at rulle, OCZ bruger nemlig også disse ICS i deres hukommelse, og de har også smidt en officiel erklæring i dag (én dag efter Corsair's meddelelse):
In regards to the potential issues relating to Elpida Hyper IC’s, OCZ has not yet seen extended failures in the field, and the Elipda Hyper IC’s we have used came from earlier batches so we do not yet know if this is the reason why we are not seeing field issues but as a proactive measure based on the latest information from media reviewers like AnandTech we have officially held the use of any Elpida Hyper IC’s at this time. Any customers that are seeing issues are encouraged to contact us and we will absolutely take care of all customers that with a no questions asked refund or exchange for another OCZ product of equal value, whichever the customer prefers. We want to make sure that our customers have peace of mind and the confidence that we will take care of any and all issues related to modules that utilize Elpida Hyper chips. If you have any questions about this, feel free to post up in the OCZ Forum SSD forum.
Ærgeligt for os med high-end RAM, men det ser ud til producenterne finder på en løsning, som gør, at kunder ramt af dette får erstatningskit tilsendt - når problemet ellers er overkommet.
