OCZ Blade Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model OCZ2B800C54GK

Pros: Great quality.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I'm guessing that OCZ has got their speed binning down for the Blade LVs. Some of the other/older Blade LV kits have black PCB and would OC like crazy. These come with green PCB and I can't get them stable past 838MHz* (and that's with loosened timings 6-6-6-18 and 1.84v).

* When I OCed, I had 4 DIMMs populated, I know this isn't the best for OCing but I didn't want to pop 2 sticks out to test overclockability.

Pros: Good timings at low (1.8v) volts.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Under "Specifications" Newegg lists the timings on this RAM as 5-5-5-15.

FYI, here's what the SPD table says (from CPU-Z)
266MHz 3-4-4-12 1.8v
333MHz 4-5-5-15 1.8v
400MHz 5-5-5-18 1.8v

I'm running 5-5-5-15 @ 1.8v, everything seems fine, however I haven't Memtested or Prime95 tortured since installing these.

Pros: OCZ always makes gorgeous RAM, their heat spreaders are usually really nice. These are no exception; the heat spreaders look great and are really heavy.

I'm running 8GB (4 x 2GB) on an Asus P5E Deluxe at 5-5-5-15 2T 1.8v DDR2 800.

Cons: I got them on super sale with a rebate. At the current price there are better options out there in my opinion.

Other Thoughts: Has anyone overclocked these? Please post results if you have!

The heat spreaders are pretty thick.

On my Gigabyte UD3P I couldn't get these to fit in adjacent DIMMs without them pushing against each other.

However they fit fine in adjacent DIMMs on Asus P5E Deluxe.

Pros: RAM chips too big for my Dell machine.

Cons: Rebate is a joke. Newegg put link for the expired $20 rebate which otherwise I may not buy at all..

Pros: ITS BEEN PERFECTLY COMPATIBLE WITH ANY SYSTEM THAT I USED IT ON AND WELL PROTECTED FROM HEAT WHEN OVERCLOCKED.

Cons: A BIT WIDE ON TOP BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY CONSTRUCTION OF THE HEATSINK SO BE TAKE YOUR TIME IF YOU ARE INSTALLING MORE THAN ONE MODULE.

Pros: Looks awesome, and is real fast.

Cons: None...

Other Thoughts: Lol, if these were on a shelf in a store you could EASILY steal them. The packaging doesn't even have sticky things to hold the plastic together, you just pop it open :P

Pros: Passed mem tests & works great at specified timings 5-5-5-18 @1.8v, heat spreaders, for me it was just plug it in no bios adjustment needed. Bought 8 gigs 4x2, Lifetime warranty on the packaging despite the Newegg offer of extended warranty when you add them to your cart.

Cons: Had to remove my 8800GT to install them on my full size ATX motherboard. the modules from the 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th memory slots touch each other or so close at the raised OCZ logo on the heat spreader.

Pros: I used two sticks of this to load up my home server. So far it has run perfectly. It looks very slick too and fit well.

Cons: I'm using a mini atx case and the heatsync on this RAM sticks up far enough that it makes it very hard to connect my second SATA drive (which butts up against the second stick of RAM). You may want to keep this in mind when planning your component layout.

Pros: Really fast, great looking. This is the heaviest ram I've ever owned, and heavier components are almost always best.

Cons: I can't take the stickers off without voiding the warranty D:

Other Thoughts: I bought this ram because it was part of a -$10 combo with a pentium e6300. I couldn't have made a better choice.

Pros: RAM works perfect in my Dell Studio 540. Love the cooling system that came with the RAM. Loved it so much I am buying another 4GB of this same RAM.

Cons: None Whatsoever
