OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:seems hard to get it to OC much above 1066

Pros:Heat spreaders keep it coolWas very cheap on sale*8GB* of RAM :)
Comment:
I got this on sale and I notice moving from 4-8 GB gives a performance boost on my system. I wish it could overclock beyond 1066 a bit better but the heat spreaders are a nice feature and it's still plenty fast

Comment:
I bought this kit and had to RMA because 1 of the dimms was bad. I received the replacement kit and it also has a bad dimm. I think OCZ needs to have better quality control. Or maybe I am just unlucky.

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:- Heatpipe and fin takes up a bit of room, no prob in a KEF 932 Full Tower and with ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe placement

Pros:- OCZ Ram has been good to me thus far, so why change anything. - Great price for 2x2GB Ram when on sale
Comment:
Good Ram for good price. Havent overclocked so cant comment on that. Ram runs at frequency as listed in specs. No complaints.

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:- Depending on your cooling system, they slightly hinder the flow of air because they are so "tall".

Pros:- Runs at specified speeds- CHEAP! Especially if you get them on sale.- Runs in a 4x2 configuration on my Asus P5Q Pro
Comment:
I bought a set of these to go in my Asus P5Q Pro. I'll admit I was a tad hesitant because I have had some memory compatibility issues with the P5Q Pro. Fortunately the new bios (2002) seems to have fixed most the issues.The ram is running at stock speeds and I didn't have to tinker with the bios at all.My weakness is me being very picky and doesn't count towards my overall rating. I have a Noctua HSF and the Reapers sit kind of high and are directly in the path of the HSF air flow. I suppose that could be a good thing though because it would help in cooling the RAM.System:Asus P5Q ProIntel Q6600EVGA 8800 GTS 512Coolmaster 750W This review was modfied by poster @ 04-05-09 06:08 AM

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:Heatsink is VERY large

Pros:Looks cool, heatsinks keep the ram cool
Comment:
I bought 4 of these sticks, and had to take back 2 because they did not work (memory errors and would not run at 1066). Make sure you run the ram at the correct 5-5-5-15 settings, setting the voltage to 2.2 (or whatever it says on the ram) and you shouldn't have any problems - the 2 sticks that were ok are running great.

Cons:a little big, but is ok in my system

Pros:Solid and works well
Comment:
I am very pleased with these sticks they work well with no problems. Prior to using these I had 4 gig for Crucial Balistix memory in my machine. I had to RMA one or more of those sticks with Crucial about every 2 months, drove me CRAZY.I run an ASUS Maximus Formula SE with an E6850 CPU. I don't overclock it.

Pros:Stays coolVery Stable
Comment:
Great RAM,this is the most stable RAM I have had in a long time. I RMA'ed three sets of other OCZ ram before they sent me this type and had no issues since. I have benn running this stuff for a year now.

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:The heat sink size

Pros:Size is good
Comment:
This RAM is great for the price I had paid, how ever the heat sinks on it made it a worry to install as dual channel. It had fit in the dimm fine but takes up a bit of space, disregarding the size it is great RAM. If you are looking for RAM with a good name go with OCZ.

Comment:
I bought this stuff b4 the X'mas 2009, and mailed all required things to their rebate center. Then, you know wut I got? they told me they didn't even get my mail. This's weird, cuz they got my other rebate requests posted later. Now I am thinking that they ignored the big rebate(my first claim is $50) and just deal with tinny one, such as $10 or $15.

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:-RAM heatsinks clash with most 3rd party CPU coolers

Pros:-Heatsinks look great & they actually work too-Extremely fast + huge OC capability-Great value compared to other similar spec products
Comment:
Got this kit for a new gaming rig, was shopping for 1066MHz RAM that would clock & settled on this because of price difference. This is a beautiful set, the heatsinks are very impressive & work great, keeps the sticks pretty cool considering the speed/timings. Only issue I had is the heatsinks stick out so much they get in the way of the CPU cooler--I had to push the sticks back to the 2nd set of slots to clear the CPU heatsink. Haven't tweaked them yet but they run solid at stock settings, and I expect they will handle a big OC thanks to the cooling. I recommend this kit (especially on sale)... may also purchase a 2nd if I can find a way around the CPU clearance issue. This review was modfied by poster @ 02-19-09 08:48 AM

Cons:None

Pros:Innovative HS, decent timing
Comment:
The heatpipe HS design works quite well IMO, I was able to up the voltage to 2.4v without any issues. Definitely recommend these if you plan to overclock to a 400+ FSB.

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:-High Voltage Requirments ranging from 2.1v to 2.3v

Pros:-Beefy, Cool looking Heat Sink-Good Timings-Stable... Obviously-Good Speed-Warranty to 2.35v Vdimm-4 GB of Ram-Decent Price
Comment:
I threw these in an awesome system with a GTX280, it runs great, I had some crash to desktop problems with some games but I think I fixed it when I set the vdimm on the motherboard manually to 2.2v as was specified on the module itself... It sucks up a lot of juice but its fast. Im pleased with the purchase.

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel EPP Memory Kit
Cons:Heatsinks are different than they used to be.

Pros:-Excellent price-Stable v 1066 Speeds
Comment:
I purchased a set of these in May and was so happy I had to get another set now that they are cheaper. However the heat sinks on these are different than the picture is shown. The picture shows the heat sinks as they used to be. Now they are different and don't match my other 2 sticks.This not to much of a problem but aesthetically they are a problem. It would seem that the new heat sinks are cheaper to make. I derive this from how they look. Instead of etched OCZ , they are painted on. Also the heat pipe is not connected from both sides, but rather from 1 side only.The ram stick itself is identical when comparing serial numbers and part numbers.

Comment:
No real complaints about this product other than the heat spreader. Its a nice feature, but when you have a giant cpu heatsink, it gets a bit tricky to fit everything in there properly.

Cons:newer single side pipe has more flex

Pros:OCZ Support, Speed, Heatsink, value
Comment:
Once again an excellent ocz product.. works as expected, very quick.. oc's nicely, improved nickel plating on the copper heat pipe. Excellent value after a $50 MIR... yeah I know MIR's suck but I've never had OCZ fail to deliver on such yet. New pipe design has more flex to it though compared to the older design. Overall an excellent buy. :)

Pros:Worked without a hitchHeat pipe cooling a +Great Price
Comment:
I ordered 2 of these kits before Christmas. They both worked perfectly in my fresh 64bit Vista install. They are running cool and quick with no problems!Only issue was that the heat pipe is quite tall and I had to re-route a few cables to prevent them from rubbing on the pipes, but it wasn't too big of a hassle.Cheers,Tim

Comment:
I've been running 1gb sticks of this Reaper memory at 1066 for over a year without any issues. This 4gb kit was a simple install and setup in my Abit IP35 pro. Set it to run at 1066 and set vdimm at 2.0v, no increase in NB voltage necessary. Runs Prime 95 with no errors with my Q6600t3200. This is excellent memory and easy to recommend.The kit I received came with the new style of heat sink, not what is pictured here. Look on the OCZ site for a picture.

Cons:Bloody expensive!

Pros:Cool looking. Supports EPP at 1066
Comment:
I bought them because they look cool and I could afford them. I had difficulties running at 1066, but I believe it is a mobo issue, and not related to the memory.
