OCZ XMP Ready Series make overclocking ever so convenient. This triple channel memory set features Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP), delivers different options of timings, voltage, and speed for different overclocking configurations. Each kit is 100% hand tested for performance and compatibility.
The XTC heat spreaders are designed to take advantage of the micro convection currents that occur in the channels between the individual memory chips. The black honeycomb design encourages maximum heat distribution. The rigid frame, in addition to proclaiming to the world what memory you use, also helps to reinforce structural rigidity in the module.
This new 6GB kit ensures optimal performance via an ideal combination of low voltage requirements, speed, and latency, so it's a great match for the Nehalem platform to unleash performance you could only dream of before.

OCZ XMP!
- Pros: Running on my EVGA X58 board at rated speeds. 8-8-8-24 at 1600 with no issues whatsoever. All 6GB recognized by Vista 64-bit. VERY HAPPY with this purchase.
Call me nerdy, but I like the heatsinks on these much better than the OCZ GOLD. Fits the color scheme of the EVGA X58 very nicely.
- Cons: EVGA board doesn't support XMP yet. You can still adjust the heck out of the settings, but all manually. Not the memory's fault but just worth noting.
- Other Thoughts: I was torn between Corsair Dominator, the OCZ Gold, and this. Dominator was about $40 more at the time, OCZ Gold was about $20 cheaper. I emailed OCZ and got responses back within minutes, literally. I had an entire 5 email long conversation within 30 minutes, and I was sold on OCZ. Officially a fan of thier tech-suppoert if they were willing to answer my stupid questions.
Anyway, the guy told me this is essentially the OCZ GOLD set, with XMP timings and the different heatsinks. He also said (as well as thier website states) it's "optimized" for Core i7. Not sure what that means, but it hasn't given me any issues whatsoever.
It's memory, no wood, but almost..
- Pros: One review commented about the green PCB being ugly. Can't even see the color through my side window. The heat spreaders are black but the top edge is a shiny brushed aluminium, looks very nice. The part I can see is what matters. Sticks run great at 1600 8-8-8-24 1T w/ 1.64v. In comparison, the 1600 8-8-8-24 Corsair Dominators I tested would not run at 1T and needed 1.66v. OCZ gets a +1.
- Cons: I didn't spend too much time on it, but my Rampage II Extreme wouldn't boot with 1800 9-9-9-28 (XMP #2). Perhaps with a little work I'll get it to work but I'm not too concerned. Current speed with 1T is awesome.
- Other Thoughts: Don't let fancy heat spreaders or heatsinks influence your purchase decision. This stuff at 1.65v stays cool to the touch, doesn't even need a heat spreader IMO; but we're so used to seeing them now, why not. In any case, here's a simple, attractive stick that works.

High Quality Memory
- Pros: These are running on an EVGA X58 SLI with no problems so far. They have 2 XMP profiles which work fine with this motherboard. Stock settings are quite low so make sure you select an XMP profile or manually adjust the timings. I currently have them using the XMP profile (8-8-8-24 @ 1600). Recommended voltage is 1.65V so make sure you manually set that too.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: I think the black heat spreaders look really nice on this memory and not to mention that they memory stays cool to the touch.
Not sure what to think
- Pros: Very easy to setup on my motherboard to achieve 1600 speed
- Cons: Bought this in a 3 pack and today had tons of BSOD. Ended up taking out all the sticks and using memtest to check each one. 1 stick immediately had hundreds of errors. The other two work fine. From reading on here it seems I would have to send back all 3 for RMA, and I am an IT major in college and can't go without my computer for any amount of time as all of my classes are online this semester. I wish there was an easier way to RMA this.
Great Buy
- Pros: The black heatsinks look great. I have them runing at 4.5v @ 800x2 so 1600.
- Cons: None
