on another thread line i talked to a moderator on memory selections, i put in the "paperwork" at corsair site, even talked to a "live chat" person about it..had to do a screen shot of my order history from newegg to prove i'm the original owner and i actually paid for it, also to prove it's less than 5yrs old...currently it's about 2yrs old, with only 1.2 yrs of usage. even told them the history of the dimm set and which motherboards i used it in and how i keep my pc clean(air compressor with hepa filters and adjustable valve for 20 psi to blow out components,hold down fans on components while using compressed air to keep them from burning up the motors for spinning too fast, also use reverse flow direction on the fan equip'd models like vid card and chipsets, case/motherboard and such, tooth brush to clean case fans, rubbing alcohol to clean contact points on ram/video/cpu and any other pcie card i have install at the moment.
