Sticking your GPU in the oven has been a well-known fix for certain problems, but would it work with RAM? Let's find out!
Here's our victim; 2x2GB DDR2 corrupted Kingston RAM.
My Core 2 Duo test bench:
Memtest (I tested single channel as well)
Errors; It's over NINETHOUSAAAAAND
First, I let the oven heat up with alu foil in there already, 200 degrees Celcius. When it was ready, I laid the ram sticks on the alu foil and set a timer for 11 minutes. After that, I opened the door to let the ram cool down gradually.
Memtest results first dimm:
Hm, that didn't do much. Let's check the other dimm..
It worked! Although it's just one of the two, I'm very happy to see this. I find it weird it worked since you'd say it were the chips that were broken. Well, apparently not
I hope to see others test this method as well to see how it works out.
FYI, pics are made with the Canon 7D.
