SEE VRAM ... Any experience?

[G.Beard]

Just bought some VRAM from SEE.
SEE say's it's new and obviously I'll find out but I wonder if anyone has bought VRAM from them and if it's normally ACTUALLY new?

Most VRAM is fine, even reballed ones are usually ok if it is not Samsung from 2006-2008. SEE is usually ok with their chips.

I have a 0084 board hear, put a 0005 (1125 chips) on it and it's now giving me jip. I've done two chips on this board now, balls look great, nothing knocked off the board so I'll try new VRAM see if I fucked it up.
Is there any reason for HYNIX H5GQ2H24MFR not to work with this? .... It's what was on there already.

I honestly don't exactly know. I never took the time to figure it out nor will I ever. I suspect a BIOS issue. 6770 was only used on late 2011 models so it will probably never work on early 2011.

Well that's something I did't (but should have) know before.
I'm only 0005-ing these boards because that's what I have. As it is, I'm going to stop doing that I think.

I have one more question for you please.... Are you still finding 0084 chips out there somewhere at the bottom of this AMD GPU barrel?

There is no 0084 and there never was. Use 0810001 and good luck finding those. It is truly hopeless.
