OCZ’s AMD Black Edition is tested and qualified specifically for AMD’s latest “Black Edition” CPUs for ultimate performance and stability. Featuring the unique AMD “OverDrive™” (AOD) specification, users can unleash the remote stored profiles directly from AMD when used with supporting 790FX/790GX motherboards, giving users a performance edge with instant “plug and play” functionality. This highly advanced feature detects your OCZ Black Edition RAM when used in conjunction with AOD-supporting motherboards and AMD Black Edition Phenom CPUs, then the data is sent to a remote server to download the correct profiles to get your system up and running at its peak.

These high performance modules feature both the high densities and blazing frequencies enthusiasts and gamers demand to make the most of the latest PC titles and applications. Delivering plug and play overclocking the “AOD” feature does all the work for you!

Great Memory

Reviewed By: SnyprMastA on 10/25/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 1 - Speed
2 - Easy to OC via AOD
3 - Great Price for the value

Cons: None once I got all the timings and speeds set manually.

Other Thoughts: Had some issues for the first few hours to get these to run at 1600Mhz with the correct timings, but that could be related to my motherboard (Crosshair III Formula) they came stock at 1066, with 7-7-7-16 timings with auto settings in BIOS but once set manually works like a charm now.

RAM

Reviewed By: Solovey on 11/16/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: RAM that is designed specifically to run with AM3 system. 1600 DDR3, 4 GIG, finally for the good price.

Cons: You need to set it up manually to run at 1600, 1066 by default. Not a con for a pro. :)

Other Thoughts: I usually stick with Corsair, but chose OZ for this build dew to lover cost and actually 100% compatibility.

then another 2X2gigs later while on sale.

All four modules work fine and tested fine.

Turbo V in Rocket mode works perfect.

Very Good

Reviewed By: Mike on 2/8/2010

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Fast and Cheap.
They're outstandingly stable when over clocked.
One of the very few these days that are made specifically for AMD.

Cons: They stay cool enough to maintain stability. However, It's always nice to have components with the ability to apply a thermal block for advanced cooling. This isn't an issue for anyone who isn't overly concerned about keeping temps any lower than average, as they do very well out of the box.

Other Thoughts: Make sure you're not trying to plug these into an Intel Board.

I have these plugged in to the Asus m4a785td-EVO, and since they're not exceptionally thin, they're rather close to each other. Make sure you have good airflow.

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Plugged all 4 in, they are working great. Take off the sticky on the AMD logo.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: These do not get in the way of your CPU heatsink with the way they perform, that is a huge plus.
