5 out of 5 eggsExcellent RAM

Pros: Great overclocking potential. Give it 1.65v and it can be easily pushed to 2200mhz cas10 (at least for me).

Cons: Thought it could be pushed farther but whatever results on 1.65v is the limit.

Other Thoughts: The low profile design is unlike any other. The fans for my Phanteks PH-TC14PE has plenty of room and my computer case can now close nicely. Great buy! Highly recommend! :D

5 out of 5 eggsGreat but needed tweaking in Bios

Pros: The low profile really helps when using a giant heatsink such as the one i have (Noctua NH-D14 SE2011).

Stays cool even after hours of use.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I now have 32GB of this ram installed on my Asus P9X79 LE Motherboard.By default it ran at 1333mhz and 9-9-9-24 timings so i had to go into bios and use the XMP profile to make it run at the correct speed and timings.I used the XMP profile that had the voltage at 1.35v to 1.50v.Even though this ram is supposed to use 1.35v i could not run it at 1600mhz and 8-8-8-24 unless i had voltage at 1.5v.If i ran at those settings at 1.35v i would get a bsod.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Low profile, good price.

Cons: Read as 1333. Changed to 1600mhz at stock 1.35v, would not boot in to Windows.

Other Thoughts: 1600, advertised timing @ 1.5v is stable.

Pros: low profile, lowish power works good in my htpc

Cons: a little more than i wanted to pay but still works nicely

4 out of 5 eggsWorks great

Pros: It works in my Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP motherboard. The gold/yellow color scheme looks neat in the blacked out case interior when I have the side panel removed.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: As another review states, the frequency came up in the BIOS as 1333 so I changed it to 1600. The voltage showed 1.35v by default. I had no problems booting Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit in this configuration.

4 out of 5 eggsYes Please

Pros: Just Amazing

Cons: 4GB

Other Thoughts: Wish they would stock up on the 8GB 2-packs. If you are going to run it at 1600, set the voltage to 1.5, 1.35 is just buggy.

5 out of 5 eggsKiller RAM

Pros: 1.35v
8 GB for $50
reputable company

Cons: nada

Other Thoughts: These things overclock like a champ.

Runs at the rated specs of 1600 MHz and 8-8-8-24 @ 1.35v just fine.

Currently have them running at 2133 MHz and 10-9-10-24 @ 1.50v.

These can probably easily hit 2400 MHz or higher, if your mobo supports it, but I don't want to increase the volts to 1.65v since I'm running a 3570k (can cause dangerous voltage spikes -- not worth it for minimal real world gains).

Look great too; and matches the asrock extreme4 mobo's color scheme almost perfectly.

Awesome RAM, don't hesitate for a second to buy these, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Product!

Pros: Its RAM, what more do you need?

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I wish someone had told me there would be a "snap" when ram is successfully installed. First time doing it and was a little afraid to press down.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Ram, Low Profile!

Pros: *Low Profile
*Great Timings, Cas Latentecy
*Keeps Cool
*Heatsink looks nice and a black PCB, looks awesome!

Cons: Was default at 1333 Mhz, but it almost always happens, just go to the BIOS' XMP Porile and set it. No problem.

Other Thoughts: I have bought Corsair Vengeance RAM, but it is tall and a little "plasticy". The Low Profile heatsinks provide a little more heat dispersion, and looks awesome as well. Pus, the yellow and black color scheme is unique. Fits with the Cooler Master V6 GT

Low profile, low voltage, good speed and timings. I get the impression the lower voltage generates less heat in my cramped ...
