Cas timings damaging memory?

Is it possible that CAS timings can physically damage a stick of memory. My story: I run my 1.4Tbird OCed to 1.6, using a 256MB stick of Crucial memory, which has a CAS of 2.5. I bought a stick of Kingsten from a friend, which has a CAS of 3. When this memory is in my box, the box just suddenly restarts every 20 min or so. He won't take it back because he claims my "OCing and CAS of the Crucial destroyed his memory". Is there any truth to this?
 
LOL,

Changing CAS will not damage your memory. Heck I have never heard of memory degrading from OCing even with 3.3v. Are you running both the Crucial and Kingston at the same time? Thats probably the cause of the restarts if you do run them at the same time.
 
Yeah I didn't think it would. I know the Kingston is the cause of the problem.... but this dude won't take it back and give me my money back because he's insisting that I damaged the memory. I'm just making sure that all you people agree that this will not cause a problem. If it matters, I run at 145FSB, which the crucial handles fine.

Click to expand...

Wait are you running both modules at the same time? Just because the crucial can handle 145fsb doesnt mean the kingston can.
 
Yes I was running both at the same time. And yes, I agree that the Kingston cannot handle that fsb.
