Matched Pairs

[Jersey Steve]

I recently relized that one of my memory chips (Corsair XMS 3200 DDR400 2x512) was bad and needs to be replaced. Since it is part of a matched pair, do I have to replace both sticks or can I get away with only replacing the one bad one? I have a duel channel board and I don't want to lose that functionality, but I'd hate to buy 2 new sticks and have one perfectly good one go to waste.

you can't just RMA the set?

Seems like the smart thing to do....RMA one, you'll never know WHAT you get back

I don't think so, I got it all as part of a pre-tested combo and that was last summer, so I think that the warranty has probably expired.

its more than likely to have a 1 year warranty

I will go thru the steps to start the RMA process, in case their tech support knows something I don't and I can avoid replacement all together. But I really can't afford to be with out my system for 6 business days once I ship out the bad set. So I probably will end up purchasing new memory if tech support can't help me.

you might be able to work out a cross-shipping RMA with them
