Which produce more stress on RAM: timing or frequency?

I have these sticks of OCZ RAM that keep dying on me every 6-8 months while running at stock speeds. Would underclocking or loosing the timing help to increase their longevity? The performance hit doesn't really matter, I am just tired of RMAs, but I don't want the shell out another $100 for obsolete RAM.
 
rma sell on ebay buy something that wont die. maybe your asus mobo is killing the ram? (im just guessing its asus mobo) maybe your system is to hot? maybe the stock volts is to much? what model are they what speed you running / volts.. of course lower volts is better for everything

I just think it's OCZ selling products that may need more validation or failure analysis. The specs call for 2.1V which I first left stock. After 2 RMAs, OCZ recommended that the newer revision of these sticks runs at 1.8V even tho it says 2.1V on the packaging, and these sticks that were run at 1.8V still died after 6-8 months. I have some Corsair RAM that I use in interim and they have yet to die.

I think you gave the better answer that I didn't want to hear: Get rid of the problem rather than fix it 😉
