5 out of 5 eggsSmall is not the right word more lie tiny!

Pros: FREE with my MSI mobo, cant beat that
Works out of the box with no Bio tweaks
Will fit under ALL cpu coolers YES ALL OF THEM!

When they say its small they are understating it. They do not even go past the clips on the ends of the DDR channels(the ones that lock in the memory). So there is no potable way ANY cpu coolers will hit them(unless you install the cooler wrong).

Cons: So far nune, and I have had a bad experience with crucial SSD.

Other Thoughts: Time will tell of this truly is good memory, if it is ill buy more. If not ill go back to Gskill and never look back.

5 out of 5 eggsLow indeed

Pros: Talk about low profile indeed, you need to google search an image of these installed to really understand how much room these little things take and they perform just as well as normal sized memory.

Cons: Not ram for the extreme overclocks per say though the room it saves might be useful.

5 out of 5 eggsoverpeforms

Pros: Very competitively priced
Low timings and high clock speeds
Low profile fits under xigmatek gaia cpu cooler fan (120mm) in mid tower
Speed and timings auto detect at stock settings
Overclock potential

Cons: I only need 8gb (1stick) so ill miss out on marginal dual channel boost from 2 sticks in tandum

Other Thoughts: Beware some motherboards only scale voltages at odd increments. I could only run these sticks at 1.37V stable . my motherboard had no 1.35v setting for dram voltage and would otherwise default at 1.50V. However, increasing voltage to 1.5, clock speed to 1866mhz, and timings to 10-10-10-27 proved stable in memtest and prime tests. Clock speed carries more benefit than timings in ivy bridge systems, so I'm happy with the tradeoffs.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat ram, but hard to perfect

Pros: Operates at sub 1.5v at dictated timings.
Single 8gb stick that costs less than 2x 4gb, leaving room to upgrade
Low profile fits under Gaia 120mm hsink and fan
Overclocks at least to 1800mhz at ~1.53v

Cons: Motherboard did not have proper voltage step size to take advantage of listed 1600@1.35v . Everything else defaulted easily except voltage, and the only manual options were 1.30 or 1.375v. I chose the latter and system worked without issue.
Chalking this up to operator ignorance as it is no fault of product.

Other Thoughts: Building first computer ever. Owned a desktop back in 2003 but that was about it. Playing with overclock to maximize my familiarity with the system. Biostar tz77xe3 mobo does not run exactly at Vram of 1.35v as mentioned above. On 'auto' settings, the board over volts to 1.5V but will still boot fine if I knock it to 1.37V for a total actualized potential (as read through windows) of around 1.44v.
To overclock clock speed to 1800+ I had to guess and check voltages. 1.536v (but not 1.524) was lowest I could boot up on and activate prime95 tests.
Should check to see if I can go to 1866 or higher. Likewise, could check if stock speeds could be reached at 1.30V

All said, the ram definitely does its job and more , and was one of the cheapest options at the time.

5 out of 5 eggsSo small!!!

Pros: When I first saw the ram I almost thought that newegg made a mistake and sent me labtop memory. The ram is amazing running 32 gigs at the moment. This memory is perfdect if you are building a gamming machine and are needing the extra space for a huge heat sink and fans like I have.

Cons: none

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Gret

Pros: Works great.

I used to have 4 gigs, and ram got tight while gaming, and having a couple other things open on my other monitor.

I bought two of these to get 16 gigs of ram, which is awesome.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I'm glad I didn't over spend and get 4. I think 32 gigs of ram would be serious overkill for a gaming rig at this point.

I did have to update my memory profile in bios to get the correct timing settings. No big deal.

The low profile seems pretty neutral to me. This ram is tiny compared to my previous memory, and would probably be great in a HTPC if space was a concern.

I'm pretty sure the timing is better on this memory then my old memory, but I really can't tell the difference.

5 out of 5 eggs7.8 out of 7.9 WEI - windows 7

Pros: Very good performance even at stock 1600 speeds. Next best ram to GSkill Trident, at a lower cost.

Cons: Mainboard only supports 32GB of this. :( I wish it could handle more dimms!

Other Thoughts: Extremely pleased with this ram - the low profile and low voltage requirements make it a very smart deal.
