so, im waiting for a case to get here and right now im running my pc on my desk off a static bag...

so i start going after my ram seeing how low i can get the timings, i go to 4-4-4-12 as a starting point and fail stressing

WTH thats nothing it should be working, maybe it was a fluke, 2 more times same thing, i look over at my mobo and it hits me, i reach over and the stick are blazing hot

grab a fan point it at the sticks, all better

I've heard that it's the INSIDE of the anti-static bag that is anti-static. The outside is still prone to static.
