3 out of 5 eggsgood ram

Pros: Operating more or less stably.

Cons: Motherboard didn't autodetect speed and timings, so I had to input them myself. My other set of 2x2gb ram was detected just fine. A couple times when the system restarted the BIOS complained that it was due to a memory error, but I was playing around with some OS stuff so I'm not sure if this really is accurate.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello, we will be happy to assist you with testing and settings (if required) to get you running with maximum stability. Please visit the link below and post in the memory section of our support forums for assistance.

5 out of 5 eggsGood stuff

Pros: running 9-9-9-20 @ 1608 w/ 1.63v vdimm in H55 & P55 GigaB & BStar mobos with i7-8xx. I'm sure it has more left in it as ALMOST runs 8-8-8-20 at this speed.

Cons: n/a

Other Thoughts: Not quite as nice as the 'gold' but this was about a Hamilton less than a Franklin when I got mine whereas the gold was about a Alexander + a Ben at the time.

5 out of 5 eggsSo far so good

Pros: This is very reasonable price ram when is on sale. Definately will buy again. I do not have any bad experience with OCZ so far on all my builts.

Cons: Rebates takes a bit longer than others

Other Thoughts: I have OCZ ram on most of the machines that I build. I have not see any defective product or compliants from my any of my customers. Good luck maybe. Most of the case people does not understand that they have to manually adjust the timing

5 out of 5 eggsWorks just fine

Pros: I got 8Gb (4x2Gb) of these and run at 1600Mhz for the last 9 months without issue.

Cons: Rebate was slow, but did finally come.

Other Thoughts: These memory modules run well on both my AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 3.2Ghz and Phenom II 965 @ 3.8Ghz without issues. Remember to set its timing to 9-9-9-24.

1 out of 5 eggsJUNK

Pros: I never write a review on products but being that I received this memory set with one dead stick, I believe people should be aware. I have done many builds over the years and yes, I have had memory go bad over time, but this is the first time I have received a set where one stick was "totally dead" right out of the package. What kind of quality control could a company have that lets a matched set leave with one stick totally dead?

Cons: This was a new build I was working on over the last week. Everything was in the case waiting for my Intel processor to arrive. Unfortunately, I tossed the packaging out for the memory that was now safely installed in the motherboard. As a result, Newegg will not issue a replacement because I don't have that packaging. This new build is now delayed while I have to deal with this return through OCZ. That could take weeks.

Stay away from this memory. There is no excuse for receiving a dead stick on a matched set, right out of the box!

Other Thoughts: This packing policy Newegg has on this item upsets me. Let's say both sticks first worked and a few days later one went bad. Who wouldn't throw out the packaging?

Manufacturer Response:

Hello, we aplogize for the problem. Most retailers require the original packaging to process a return, and we aplogize for the inconvenience. Our support staff will do their best to get you up and running ASAP. Please visit the link below and create a support ticket to start the process.

3 out of 5 eggsHard to recommend

Pros: OCZ Support and Forums. You may need it. Solid and flexible if you get a good set.

Cons: Unstable and frustrating if you get a bad one.

Other Thoughts: My set has problems running at advertised speed, am going through all OCZ recommended settings and will most likely RMA my set which is now 2 months old. System will just freeze randomly.
