late night modding... don't do it!

[Mycrus]

so I was planning to paint my RAM as I got fm another hardwarezoner... (its blue and my rig is red & black)...

bought the flat black spray paint and before turning into bed I wanted to remove the heat spreaders...

so started off okay...

and then... one of the RAM chips got removed by accident... equals dead stick..

yes, I know I should have used a heat gun.

Seems like an almost clean rip. Have you tried sticking it back to see if it still boots?

LMAO RIP

anyway good luck to u, cos even if u use heat gun, will definitely dmg the ram. and since your ram already dmg, just buy another new one and throw away that ram.

next time keep your itchy hands off the breaking the things up

You can try put back everything and RMA it. RAMS have product lifetime warranty.

Nah, removing the heat spreader invalidates the warranty

Oh common.. Its just a few dollar bills... i got it 2nd hand already...

Had only 2 accidents since i restarted playing with computers again in 2011... the other incident was i rewired a h100v1 wrongly...

Iz the joy of tinkering

If no tamper seals/stickers can try your luck.

Anyway, should have done something like using insulation tape to cover all contacts/sticker and spray over the stick.

Let's hope Corbell don't find out about this when you RMA the ram

No harm trying though, send back to G.skill USA? lol. . If kena void, then can ask them throw lor. Since you already cant use. If can rma, then luck is at your end.
