OCZ Obsidian Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory

Comment:
Performs as advertised, good speeds, no problems right after I stopped becoming an idot. Reasonably priced! Good rebate. Needed to manually set the timings and voltage to get it to run with out BSOD. Can only use one particular rebate even though I bought two packs. I had the motherboard setting the RAM configurations on auto. undesirable notion. Make confident you are working with the same sticks. I bought two packs of these so 12 GB's in my technique now. I had a few difficulties such as the BSOD until I went into the program BIOS and set the 9-9-9-24 timings with a 1.654 voltage. After that I have had no issues at all, just smooth sailing.

I hear lots of undesirable stuff on this ram. I have never ever had this issue. It has ran as mentioned. I at present have them operating @ 1652 Mhz 9-9-9-24 tRFC 88 Command Rate 2T 1.65 v Wont overclock greater. none.

And yes, electronic components DO GO Terrible. The lifetime warranty on these are amazing!B4 bad mouthing these, do some research. haven't attempted lowering the timings yet.

Can't beat the price tag for 6GB ddr3 1600 ram.As usually Newegg is the finest for service and shipping. Will not run at 1600 correct out of the box, you have to set your bios to get the advertised speed. Already had 6GB of this ram installed in my system and just received 6GB additional and installed it with no challenges, even overclocked it to 1800 with no problems, been running at this speed for more than 24 hrs with out a hitch.My Develop:Intel i7 extreme 980x, 3.33 GHZ Ɩ core)Corsair H70 Hydro coolerASUS P6X58D Premium Motherboard12GB OCZ Obsidian DDR3 1600 MemoryEVGA GeForce GTX 465 1GB video card1000GB Western Digital Black SATA three 6.0Gb/s hard driveLG 22x DVD recorder dual layer driveLG Blu-ray reader, 16x DVD recorder driveThermaltake TRX 1000W ATX power provideCooler Master HAF-932 caseWindows 7 Household Premium 64 bit operating method

- Reasonable cost- Worked good when till a single of the sticks went bad - One stick failed. They forced me to return all 3 for a refund. They have closed the case so I can't respond to the ticket and the RMA status shows they under no circumstances received the memory even although I have a confirmation number.- Approach took over a month to get RMA ticket.- Haven't received refund. - Terrible consumer assistance.- Badly educated technicians.- Does not answer inquiries with straight answer.

Finally got a stable one particular after replacement.Runs 1600, 9-9-9-24 1T 72 without having any concerns My home is only about 15 miles away from Newegg warehouse, and it took a week until I got my replacement. Some one left a critique Acquire- Acquire- Acquire- Purchase- must be a individual operates with OCZ or a OCZ fan boy, this RAM is for i7 1366 and he speak about AM3 CPUs.

Comment:
Less expensive, apparently. Vaguely reliable. I bought 2 packs for 12 Gigs. Installed them all, BSOD. Took a lot of changing, but lastly isolated it to one corrupt stick. Sadly, the error was so erratic that even memtest only discovered it sometimes, so I spent a LOT of time switching and retesting memory. I might excuse it as terrible luck, but having read all these critiques, it genuinely appears like a fairly common problem. Perhaps it IS just terrible luck, but once again, out of 6 sticks 1 didn't work for me. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you have had difficulties. Please check out our help forums at link under. We can help you with settings and possibly keep away from an RMA since you look to be close to operating steady.

- Great value- Runs at 1600, with 9-9-9-24-1T @ 1.65V - Even at slower speeds I couldn't get more quickly timings to work nicely. Best deal for DDR3 at the time of purchase, make sure you manually set the timings to specc, I initially had memory problems when I installed these, but that is because the motherboard tried to set the timings to 7-7-7-24, which this RAM can't manage.

performs. i had to underclock it a small when overclocking my processor.

None Random restarts, frequent blue screens, hundreds of errors on memtest, doesn't run at advertised speeds. Do not get this. Spend some further cash and get something decent.

none This memory would not run at the rated speed in my Gigabyte X58-UD5 MB. Slowing it down to 1333 or greater however 1066 would work but this is supposed to be "The Finest Memory Period"!OCZ's support was horrible and they would not refund my dollars following even sending me a new defective set of their GOLD 1333 memory (RMA), Newegg ought to in no way have paired this memory up with this MB!At initial OCZ told me that my MB didn't have the help or 1600MHz memory (not accurate) but then why is my new Corsair Vengeance Memory 񢃀MHz 12GB) operating great with out any difficulties whatsoever?Remain away from OCZ!

It's inexpensive It doesn't function. I put this stuff in an ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 and it would boot up as soon as, let me set the time try some ram settings and then never boot up once more (until I took the clock battery out). I replaced them both with an ASUS P6T and some Corsair TR3X6G1600C8 G. I suppose you could say that it was the motherboards fault or the rams fault, but I say it's marketings fault. If you say your motherboard runs ddr3 1600 and you say your ram is ddr 1600, then at the really least, you should be in a position to plug the 2 collectively and have it come on at some speed. I've had difficulty with ocz stuff booting ahead of and as soon as I put in some magic quantity, it runs stable for years, but I want a thing that runs stable at stock settings also.Even if I ever got the combo to operate, if my bios ever went back to default, I'd have to open my laptop or computer up and take the clock battery out to get it to boot after to the bios, so I could alter the 20 settings in there to make it run yet again. That's geeky cool! Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are quite sorry that you are having troubles. Please pay a visit to the link below and make a support ticket.

None. I have RMAed this for a 2nd time. This time was able to boot nevertheless was obtaining BSODs. This is unacceptable particularly following trying two different sets of modules. Tested with memtest86+ Many Fails. I purchased Corsairs Dominators, a bit much more high-priced, and they function perfectly. memtest86+ clean.

Rapidly at stock speed. Scores a 7.8 in WEI. None Mathched with an i7 950 (WEI stock 7.5) and EVGA recertified mobo. Operates the initial time. Will run Memtest shortly.Properly packed and only price me ฽ after I get my rebate. Oh, yah, have to submit that nowadays.

Comment:
Price tag isn't poor. Stable at 1333mhz CAS latency 7. On my technique most undoubtedly does not do 1600mhz at all. It will not even boot at these settings. I use an ASRock X58 motherboard. I attempted working with encouraged timings and voltage from OCZ, but could not get the memory to run above 1333mhz.My stick of Essential Ballistix DDR 1600 (the blinged out ones) could reach 1600 no issue... The other thing that sucked was the initial kit I received had a dud, and of course had to send the whole kit back. Buyer assistance was useful. It seems they no longer manufacture this certain make. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you have had issues. Not all systems respond as nicely to a specific memory sort as effectively as other people. This has largely to do with the suppliers BIOS programming.

None BSOD, random restarts, only 1066mhz instead of advertised speeds, customer service is awful, I've been attempting to get a decent answer that I haven't currently attempted out of these guys for weeks now.

Fast when information - application, music - is in memory. Access is virtually instant. Ought to admit it is quickly. Slow acquiring the information into memory. Must admit this is slow. Is this memory having slow timings? I do not realize why it is slow to load into memory. Tough disk is 1TB WD Black. When you need to have memory there is adequate for you. When loaded into memory it works effectively. Do I will need a Raptor? Just say yes so I can show her.

Comment:
I noted this got a 7.8 in WEI - nah. Just tested it again - 7.9. Yes, you read it rigth. WEI should be adjusted. Had to set timings and speed manually but that has to do with my old evga mobo. At stock setting, it is just awesome and for ใ right after rebate - WOW. The only thing I changed was allow turbo enhance on the i7 950 in BIOS.I would get one particular more kit as soon as the rebate shows up once more and you really should, too. Forget those expensive other brands. This point works and the fastest!Next quit - overclock cpu.CPU stayed at WEI 7.five.

Comment:
great value good brand great product If it's not working for you go to the OCZ forums. Some of the earlier AM3 CPUs cannot run DDR3 above 1066MHz with no errors it is a identified bug. Also try 2T commandrate at high speeds. If it's not operating for you go to the OCZ forums. Some ofthe earlier AM3 CPUs can not run DDR3 above 1066MHz without errors it is a known bug. Also try 2T command rate high speeds.

It's a very good value from a reliable company. It does not run what it's rated. I tried AUTO settings, I tried manual settings, I tried distinct voltages, it will NOT run what it's rated to run. Just to note: I've been developing systems for over 9 years and have been overclocking/benchmarking for over 5 years, so my technical know-how is relatively excellent.When you verify with CPU-Z, the RAM comes up as PC3-8500F 񡺪mhz). I don't know why it doesn't come up as 1600mhz or even 1333mhz, but even the SPD timing table only goes as far as 610mhz (meaning 1220mhz DDR). I wonder why the SPD timings aren't set to 1600mhz or even at least 1333mhz!!If this ran 1333mhz at say eight-8-8 timings, I would be satisfied, but it won't.I can't think how I inform my client he'll have a 1600mhz DDR3 setup when it won't even run at that speed. Either he's going to say "alright" (in a not so pleased tone) or I have to obtain something else. :(I've had this concern with OCZ ram lately. Even my individual AMD Phenom II system couldn't run some 2x2gb ocz gold 1600 kit @ 1600mhz. Why does OCZ do this? I may well have to pay a few bucks additional and go with other brands if this is the trend OCZ is going to Manufacturer Response:Hello, due to the issues that some motherboards and systems have with booting straight away at greater speeds, it has become common practice for enthusiast memory companies to program the SPD at a lower "safe" speed. This insures that all buyers can boot. Alterations can then be created in the BIOS, permitting the client to hit rated speeds. Although programming at 1600mhz can be completed, we would expertise a big rate of DOA kits that function perfectly.
