- Pros: Excellent memory. On my Asus P5B-Deluxe/WiFi board & Core 2 Duo E6600, I've got these matched pairs running at 1110 MHz (550 MHz x 2) with 5-5-5-15 settings @ the rated 2.2v. Completely stable while gaming, media encoding, and testing/benchmarking. I did notice that letting my motherboard auto-set the timings gave me problems when I tried to go beyond 1000 MHz (it was setting timings as 5-4-4-12 @ 1000 MHz, which isn't even what the SPD reads, strange). Just keep that in mind if you buy this memory.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: The modules do get hot, so make sure you have enough case ventilation or at least some air reaching the modules.
Gotta Love It
- Pros: This is some great memory that can take some torture. RIG: E6600 @ 3.75Ghz, EVGA 680i, 8800GTS.
Had these things running for a month now, without any problems at all and they survived some brutal overclocking attempts on my part.
- Cons: Overclocking the timings on these things didn't really amount to much. From the default 5-5-5-15 (2T) @ 1000Mhz to 4-4-4-12 (2T) @ 1000Mhz only improved the Half Life2 Lost Cost Stress Test by 3 FPS.
- Other Thoughts: (didn't try to go over 2.375v) 3-3-3-8 @ 800Mhz (2T) worked perfectly, but these timings would not post at 100Mhz. 4-4-4-12 @ 800Mhz and >1T< would not POST.
