5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Amazing Blue and Orange lighting effects.
Very solid memory, first two sticks still running stong with no problems or errors!
Heat spreaders have a great design and work great at keeping the memory at reasonable temperatures.
Lowering brightness on activity lights doesn't lower running lights as much as it did with the original sticks.
Solid LEDs used as well, the original sticks are just as bright as the new sticks all at same brightness level.

Cons: None other than having your face melted by the brightness the first time you power up ;)

Other Thoughts: I bought two sticks when these first came out and I absolutly loved them. My other two DIMM slots were feeling lonely so when these went on sale I had to buy some more!

Lights are even more mesmorizing with 4 sticks :3

5 out of 5 eggsLooks like christmas is Coming

Pros: Orange / Blue Look Great with the Red / Green DDR3 1600 LED Memory. They look Cool in my Power Max side Window Tower w/ front 7 color changing bubble lights & led torch. With the 7 color changing led fans. 16 GB just smoke n fast. No problems running Crucial Memory. Been using Crucial for years and I've had no problems with them.

Cons: Price, but they Look Cool. Everybody who sees my Tower ,Wants to Take it Home with Them. lol

Other Thoughts: Would be nice if they were 7 color changing leds like my fans.

5 out of 5 eggsBest RAM I've ever owned

Pros: MSI 990FXA detected this pair as 1333. Set it to 1600 in bios and all is good. My LED's were by default, blue. Bright as the sun and look star treky. The led's move if there is heartbeat on the machine, it the machine freezes, so do the led's. Playing a game and the led's strobe like a rave. So bright they light up the room.

Cons: The package they came in its ultra cheap, ugly.

Other Thoughts: These blue LED, match color brightness and size wise of the LED's on my MSI 990FXA-GD65 mainboard.

5 out of 5 eggsSolid RAM.

Pros: Installed in a Gigabyte Z77x-UD3H with no problems, just had to set the timings in the BIOS (not a big deal). This RAM looks great and is also a good performer.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I'm thinking about getting another 8gigs.

5 out of 5 eggsCrucial hits its mark

Pros: LED lights, perfect timings. The M.O.D utility is a great addition.

Cons: Doesn't come in Red Blue, Blue Green. Come on Crucial add a bit more colors to this line.

Other Thoughts: I've bought these to put into my first gaming rig, those who docked an egg for it not being quad channel should actually head to the website and do a search before buying. Also Crucial is working on the x79 problem. So they are getting it done. I just wish they had more color variety would like to see different color sets and styles.

5 out of 5 eggsPretty RAM sticks

Pros: The heatspreaders on the sticks are simple and sexy. It is at its right height, not too high to interfere with CPU cooler. It ran cool around 30-40 degrees. It includes pretty and bright LEDs that you can pick color, brightness, pattern using software to decorate your desktop.

Cons: I wish that there are more light pattern options for my LEDs on the stick.

Other Thoughts: Important note: This model is Orange and Blue LEDs. The end of the model BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT2TXOB has OB (Orange and Blue). There is other model that emits Red and Green lights (RG)

5 out of 5 eggsWHOA BLING BLING!

Pros: WOW, nice color, the program is easy and a breeze too use,
Perfomance wise, Im running them at 1800mhz, 8-8-8-24 timings at STOCK voltage!

24h Blend on prime gave me NO ERRORS! this is a nice pair of ram, and after getting 2 packages of them I LOVE them.

If your planning on bling and overclockability, go for em, but i would not push past the 1.65v 1.5v is stock, everybump past stock voltages eats life.

Cons: The software that monitors the heat sensors glitches out and suddenly at random may tell you 154c, which... would probably mean my computer is on fire, restarting the program resets the info and displays the proper temp, this is a random error, but not a horrible one.

Other Thoughts: These are mounted in my Crosshair V, with an FX-8120 bulldozer.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: I sadly found these at a local shop for cheaper, sorry Newegg. But for all the people saying it doesn't work with X79, why not use common sense and look at the details first? It's user error, and a simple thing to find.

Cons: None.

2 out of 5 eggsX79 Issues

Pros: very cool

Cons: This memory has an issue with the X79 mother board and is not compatible with the board I bought. Crucial says they are working on the problem and will swap the memory out.
