OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Gold Low-Voltage Edition Triple-Channel Kit - 6.0GB

Comment:
First set came in defective but NCIX replaced them promptly and now I'm up and running with 12 gigs of these bad boys. System flies in my oc i7 920 processor.

Comment:
Bought this as part of my i7 build in June of 2009. There was a massive sale where I got 2 sets for $200, so my rig definitely can handle anything and everything. Sole recommendation: price match. NCIX's price is too high currently.

Comment:
I bought this at another place for my new i7 build for about $90 after rebate and I am very happy with it. For the price, the speed and latency timings cannot be beat. I would recommend this to anyone moving into i7 processors.

Comment:
used these modules in an i7 system and it works well and provides room for lots of overclocking. on top of that the design of the modules is quite pretty, the picture doesn't quite do it justice.

Comment:
It's the best RAM I ever had! I was able to get my CPU(i7 920) to work at 4 GHz with the stock frequency(1600)! It is also very well priced and it had $20 mail in rebate when I bought it!

I got this for my i7 setup so I could max out my board (was building a 7 year system). Overall it performs extremely well in all games and photoshop etc. I ran 2 sets of these on a P6T. It looks awesome in a blue lit case with the gold reflections.

This is a good product for the price.

For the price, the quality, stability and compatibility, this product is absolutely fantastic. Depending on your motherboard you should be able to configure the hell out of these. Using an ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 I configured the voltage and timings in under a minute and these sticks perform flawlessly. The speed difference from my last build is incredible--I'll definitely buying OCZ memory from now on.

Excellent memory for my new system build. Super fast, great product, first time I've purchased OCZ memory and I really like it! Thanks!

12 GB... I run with Windows 7 Ultimate X64 and can have Pinnacle (rendering a movie), World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2 EP 2, Simcity4, everything at highest resolution possible running, and switching from one application to the other is no problem. I cant play more than one game at once :) but the performance is amazing.

I have a phenom 955 with these ram sticks.I used all 3.I'm running them in unganged mode.This means that each core is using one stick of ram.There honestly is no visible (i.e. w/o benchmarking. benchmarking will give you at most a 5% difference for either side, depending on the application) difference between ganged and unganged.I still would like to get an extra stick of ram eventually since then all 4 cores would get their own stick and I THINK it will improve performance. If not, It'll just gain an additional 2GB bandwidth.6GB>4GB.Keep that in mind. The difference you get by having 2 extra GB's is way more than dual/tri channel ganged/ungaged modes.One thing I would like to note is that the RAM will NOT run at rated speeds out of the box. You actually have to manually set it in the BIOS (no biggie).I made the mistake of changing the multiplier from 5.3x (5.3x200=1066MHz) to 8x (8x200=1600Mhz) without adjusting the latencies which resulted in BSOD (blue screen of death). So don't forget to increase the latencies. Or just give it a TINY voltage boost.This was a GREAT buy when it was on sale x 99.99$. Better than any dual channel kit I found.Cheers.

great RAM for the price, will run vista 64bit no problems, runs games great pretty much everything you can ask for in a starter system. these chips get very very hot though, burned a line in my hand running benchmarks on these after a 48hour @ 95% load test. I was so excited after seeing the results and went to swap them into my main computer without even thinking... intense pain.. little bit of swearing and i was fine.

Comment:
Although advertised at 8-8-8-24 timings, mine run at 7-7-7-20 right out of the packaging. =]Great results out of these guys. One of the lower-costing kits, too!

Comment:
Have yet to have owned better memory. Have been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at my new set up trying to crash my set up and have yet to be successful! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS Memory !!!! Running CorI7 920 chip with Asus P6T Deluxe V2....Awesome !!!

Comment:
I bought this for an I7 build. i was able to get to 4.0 Ghz with a 920 CPU with all the advertized timing. Perfect stuff!

Comment:
Got it yesterday with price $84 after $20 MIR.very easy to install.tried in vista/win7 rc1 without any problem.Thinking about grabing another kit This review was modfied by poster @ 05-20-09 08:23 AM

Comment:
Well this is probably a good brand and the cheapest 1600 rams you can find in the market. I'm thinking of buying a platinum try that out.

Comment:
I'm at 18GB of this memory already!!! I've used 12GB on my i7 and it was the only one to work well on the EVGA X58 board running my 920 @ 3.4 - 3.6 GHz!!! On my Q8200 on an Intel P45 board it is running perfect with 6GB and Vista 64bit. There was no Corsair to do the trick as this one did for a little over a hundred bucks!!! I love this one and it works just great. Highly recommended!!!

Comment:
I used it on a Gateway FX6800 i7 machine, I brought 12 GBs worth and even though the latency is CL8 or something, the FX clocked it down to 7-7-7-18, which is slightly faster than the stock that the FX came with of PC3-8500 (1066MHz) at 7-7-7-20, thus I can tell a noticable speed improvement. Although, the FX speed locks it to 533 MHz not the 800 MHz the RAM is clocked at.

AWESOME RAM!!! Running on Asus P6T Deluxe + i7 920 (best upgrade ever). Getting a second set this week for 12 gigs of OCZ madness!!!

Comment:
Most other competing products list memory timings of 9-9-9-24 and yet the OCZ Gold runs at 8-8-8-24 while being generally much cheaper. I bought a kit 2 weeks ago on sale at $190 and now I'm picking up as second set at $110 (after $40 rebate).The heat spreaders aren't anything to look at, and don't even compare to those on my 5-year old OCZs, but since you'll likely be using this triple channel kit with a Core i7 with a low max voltage, they won't be getting very hot, anyway.

Comment:
THIS WORKS AWESOME NOW I CAN SEE HOW FAST THIS GATEWAY 6800 CAN GO !

Comment:
Not sure why the previous reviewer said this SDRAM is incompatible with the i7 chip -- it was designed specifically for x58 chipset/Core i7. Manually set your timings to 8-8-8-24 (per manufacturer's specs) and 1.65 volts in your BIOS, and voila. I am running this memory on an EVGA x58 MOBO with an i7 920, and it runs like a dream. Even under max load, memory usage stays below 4o%, and temperatures are reasonable. I am going to buy a second set to max my MOBO out at 12 GB.
