GeIL EVO Veloce Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model GEV316GB1866C9DC

Pros: Nice color. Absurdly tall heatsinks will impress your mom.

Cons: BSOD = Instant ocean of red in Memtest86+. This was running at 800 MHz and 11-11-11-28 and no overclocking of any kind. I can remember when Geil used to make good memory. Back to Gskill or Crucial or ???

Pros: - Got it on sale for 89.99.. cant beat that
- No issues at all. Plugged it in and it worked.
- Very fast

Cons: - None!

Other Thoughts: I had to switch the side for my CPU fan as the heat spreaders are a bit big on the RAM.. not a big deal at all though and expected with a micro build

- Case: Rosewill Line-M Micro-ATX Mini Tower
- Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M
- CPU: Intel i7 3770k 3.5GHz LGA 1155
- RAM: GeIL EVO Veloce Series 16GB (2x8GB)
- PSU: SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold
- HSF: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Evo
- HDD: 2x Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD (Raid 0)
- VC: None yet.. waiting on a GTX 670 FTW deal!

Pros: A speed demon. A great addition to the GA-990FXA-UD5 motherboard that I build my latest computer with.

Cons: Not really a con but I had to change the memory settings in the UEFI.

Other Thoughts: colorful in case the motherboard from Gigabyte is black and the red heatsinks stand out.

Pros: It is very fast, and works fine! It is also very stylish, and looks great.

Cons: The Heatsink size might interfere with large cooling units.

Pros: It went on sale the night after I made decision on final order list for M-ITX Gamer so I switched to it to save money and move up to 1866 from 1600 and worked like a charm. I am happy with the way this build came out! Runs at 1866 at 1.5v and CL9.

Cons: None really, unless your one of those people that complain about having to change to the XMP setting for it to show the 1866 as it 1st posted at 1600 which I am not! So yea....none.

Other Thoughts: Tried the Extreme Auto-O/C setting on the ASUS P8Z77-I DLX/WD and went to 4.9 before she blue screened and dropped back to 4.8 and was stable for the most part but I dropped her down to 4.7 and left her there and am lovin' every minute with this build.
The Little Maniac:
BitFenix Prodigy
ASUS P8Z77-I DELUXE/WD
Intel Core i5-3570K
GeIL EVO Veloce DDR3 1866 16GB (2 x 8GB)
Crucial M4 SATA III (64Gbx2) Raid 0
Seagate 1TB
Corsair 750w Bronze

Pros: Cheap, 16GB (2x 8GB) 1866MHz. It does what it's supposed to.

Cons: I'm an idiot.

Other Thoughts: I went by my motherboard's manual that said it supported faster memory than this... once installed it only recognized it as 1333MHz. Silly me trusted my board's manufacturer to be accurate in their documentation. Oh well, going from 8GB 1333MHz to 16GB 1333MHz is still nice. Good bye, virtual memory!
