This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs at its rated speeds and timings without a hitch. Absolutely no problems when paired with an eVGA X58 board. Lifetime warranty.
Cons: Just wish it was DDR3-2000, that is all :)
Other Thoughts: The Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3-1600 kit has the exact same speed, timings, and voltage but costs over $50 more.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Looks good, temps stay pretty cool
Cons: I can't get the memory to run at 1600, I think it might be the poor performing ECS Black X58B-A motherboard?
Other Thoughts: Don't ever buy anything from ECS
Manufacturer Response:Hello, please visit our support forums at the link below and we will be happy to assist you with settings and advise you on the capabilities of your motherboard.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: - Decent price
- 6GB- plenty of memory, and Windows 7 x64 can use it all.
- Seems to perform well once it is configured properly
Cons: - Worked out of the box without tweaking, but a week later I was getting blue screens and cryptic event logs.
- Ran memtest and it said I hard errors, and recommended I replace the memory. Started to do RMA with NewEgg, but I thought I'd check the manufacturers website first. I searched for my motherboard (MSI Pro-E X58) and saw that you need to tweak the bios a little bit with some custom settings that include changing the timings manually, along with the voltage. Once I updated per the site's recommendations, I re-ran the memtest and had no issues. System hasn't blue screened since.
- Took off 1 egg since I had to go through a little hassle configuring it, but otherwise this seems to be fine memory.
Other Thoughts: - Seems like good memory once you get it tweaked. If you are having problems, I recommend you check out the ocz site and do a search on your motherboard to see if you need to do some bios configuration like I did.
- Keep the packaging for a bit just in case you can't get it working and need to do an RMA.
- Flash drive is a nice bonus.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Worked for the first few days
Cons: One of the chips went back, I spent days trying to communicate to them that I only wanted to fix one chip and it took several days just for them to tell me all my efforts were useless. I can't afford another set of ram ATM so I'll have to wait to get more, I know what company I'm not going to use.
Other Thoughts: Once I get enough funds, as I assumed the ram I would buy would work, I'll buy 6GB more ram and send this 6GB back to them and wait for the ram to come back and then I'll have 12GB after the 12+ week wait. It took them about that long to send me a small rebate check, I can't imagine how hard it must be for them to do something much more challenging. Nothing about my interactions with this company has been helpful but at least I have 4GB of ram and my computer works.
Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry for the problem. Please visit the link below and create a support ticket to get in touch with our support staff. Mention that you were sent by the OCZ customer service rep at Newegg, and we should be able to work out a work out a solution that will keep you operating while getting your RMA.
Thank you
