NVIDIA has investigated end user reports of high performance DIMM failures on the NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI-based platforms. During this process we have been in close contact with DIMM manufacturers and the DRAM manufacturers they rely on to understand the failure scenario. By working with our community, we believe that the observed failure is a breakdown of the silicon in the DRAM caused by the prolonged application of 2.4V on the voltage rails of the DIMMs.

NVIDIA’s own internal testing has observed this failure on multiple motherboards using different chipsets (both NVIDIA and non-NVIDIA chipsets). This issue is not directly related to motherboards using the NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MCP or other chipsets.

If you are using this type of memory and are experiencing this issue, NVIDIA recommends contacting your memory manufacturer or system manufacturer for additional information and warranty information.

so all our lovely micrond9 chips are dooooooooooooomed

please discuss
 
Please state the source and the date of publication - I'm thinking April 1st?
 
Ooh-errr....

I'm glad I've got Crucial RAM - 48 hour RMA when it goes bang. I'm actually not running 2.4V though and I don't know many people who are. Still very interesting though. Thanks for posting that. I might just go and knock 0.1V off my RAM now just for good form!

Cheers.
 
Seems to be true.

Both my pairs of Ballistix are currently sitting in East Kilbride.

RMA'ing at Easter is a ****.
