Cons:
Packaging seems cheap
Pros: Right price, no gimmicks Comment:
With all the flashy looking RAM around nowadays, its nice that OCZ still makes a no frills quality set of memory. Put these in my core i7-950, with zero issues. I plan to see how muchI can over clock soon. |

Cons:
none yet...
Pros: Runs at its rated speeds and timings without a hitch. Comment:
You can configure it in bios, it's rated at 1.65V but most of the time it runs at 1065MHz at 1.5V. I run it at 1333MHz at the same settings. if you up it to 1600MHz you tend to have to move it up into the 1.7V range usually. not too bad but not really necessary unless you want to have it that high.timings are sometimes off too. supposed to be 8-8-8-24 |

Cons:
- None, I don't overclock.
Pros: - Stable RAM at stock speeds.- Has been under heavy use in my gamer for about 2 years now without failure. Comment:
I don't overlock yet but I have never had an issue with OCZ Ram, I used a 4 Gb ddr2-800 (2x2) kit on my 6000+ and it is still going to. I run this Ram on an Asus P6T V1 if anyone is wondering about compatibility. |

-none so far
Pros: -good steppings (8-8-8-24)-1600MHz Comment:
No complaints here... RAM is RAM, and these work in my i7 rig as advertised. Went into the BIOs, tweaked it to the proper steppings, OC'd the bus, and awayyyyyy we go! |

Pros: great valueddr3-1600 speed Comment:
This is a good buy if you are not looking at special, high-end, overlocking ram. Bought it because it was in my motherboard's QVL, no complaints at all. |

Would have preferred if it was black or some other color but the performance/price makes up for this.
Pros: -Fast timings and clock-Very Well Priced-Easy to OC Comment:
This ram is great so far. Installed in Core i7 930 system along with a GTX 480 and it works great. Very fast and games run amazing. |

Not free?
Pros: Fast timings and clockGood looksPriceEasy to OC Comment:
I used this RAM in core i7 build I was doing. When it arrived I just dropped them in and they were already set at 1600 and good to go, none of then were DOA. I've always been happy with OCZ and will continue to be. |

Cons:
required some manual setup to run at rated speeds.
Pros: looks (if that matters to you) , performance Comment:
Have booted fine in 2 different Asus mobos, just need a little bios tweaking to get them to run at rated speeds. Happy with them otherwise. Bought with a rebate, so far have not yet received it from OCZ (3 weeks later) but according to online status, its been received and accepted, and I dont expect any issues. |

You need to be an experienced user when setting the proper specs on this RAM. If you are a beginner, dont expect it to run at 1600Mhz unless you know what you are doing. If youre experienced, you shouldnt have any problems with this RAM. |

Cons: I had a bad module that I sent back through RMA.
Pros: Modules look pretty that's about it. Comment:
NCIX took care of me with a full refund but I purchased some Corsair ram next time around which works perfectly. |

I bought this memory but I wound up getting a bad stick (failed Prime95). OCZ Support is less than helpful (I'm still working through the RMA process after 3 weeks). You get what you pay for. |

Cons: and not much moreand sometimes, it doesn't
Pros: It does what it says Comment:
Some boards are finicky with this RAM. I have an EVGA X58 SLI LE and I had some trouble getting the RAM to run at it's rated speed. That was cleared up by a trip to OCZ's excellent help forum. On my board the RAM had to be set up manually and certain other parameters had to be set. One thing they suggested was running this stuff at 1.65v. I did and almost immediately got errors in Memtest86 (3.4 because 3.5 would instantly lock up when testing began). I backed the voltage off to 6.0 and then the RAM passed with no problems. I tried 6.2v with the same results. Now the weird part; After testing while in the OS it started locking up. I had a hunch that it was the RAM and so I upped the voltage to 6.5 and rebooted. Voila! No more lockups.So you tell me; how can RAM run smoothly at 1.65v in the OS but throw errors in memtest? And inversely, how can it run smoothly in Memtest at 1.6v but cause lockups in the OS? Hmmmmm. Strange stuff, indeed.In any case, I'm not expecting much from this RAM as far as over-clocking is concerned. If it runs at spec I'll be happy but only more time will tell. Strangely enough, I've had this problem in the past with Corsair Memory as well and I'm beginning to think that memory manufacturers are taking it upon themselves to exaggerate the ability of their products. Believe me, after a visit to the OCZ forums, you really start to see that many are having problems with their RAM not running at spec and, in many cases, are getting permission to RMA their RAM. In most cases it simply won't do what it says it can without crazy tweaking. RAM manufacturers are quick to blame the board makers but I don't know...Oh well, four stars for now and I reserve the right to return to update this review after living with this stuff for a while longer.P.S. This stuff is outrageously priced here so do yourself a favor and PM it. I got it for cheaper than the after rebate price, quite a bit actually. I simply REFUSE to play the rebate game anymore. It's a scam and a hassle so just say no kiddies.I's OUT! |

Cons: none
Pros: Fast, good warranty Comment:
These worked great with my P6T MOBO and i7 920 clocked to 3.8 GHZ. They run a little below the rated frequency at that clock and perform well and are rock solid. Details could be provided if requested. These work like a charm. |

Pros: Cheap, good timings, lifetime warranty. Cons: No XMP (have to configure by hand, and they don't have the correct configuration anywhere. Hint: use 2T command rate or the memory will throw errors. Also don't forget to set 8-8-8-24 timings and 1.65 voltage). Like everyone else, I got a bad stick and had to RMA. Took about a week for them to issue me an RMA number, but they do offer the option to charge you to send you the replacement kit before you send the original back. I can't get the replacement kit to run at 1600MHz. The best it can do is about 1400, no matter how much extra QPI or CPU voltage I add. Save yourself the trouble and spend a bit more on a Corsair kit. |

Runs perfect on my P6T and i7 920. Very configurable with the right motherboard. Buy this and you will never need to worry about your ram. Did a lot of research to decide on this kit. You don't need more expensive ram as you will not notice a difference. |
Works as advertised. Step up your uncore speed in the bios to hit the proper ram frequencies and enjoy. Gold heatspreaders look very nice as well. Price is good as well.
