OCZ Gold 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1333LV8GK

Pros: No issues so far I have 4 sticks = 16 gb with a I7

Cons: no longer avalable OCZ said they are getting out of the memory market? this is the second time I purchaced there ram the first time it was DDR2 for a XFX mobo with a core 2 quad I gave to my son when he finished boot camp I wish I still had it! it was more stable than what I upgraded too.

Pros: Plummeting prices plus advertised 15% discount, reliable brand, works perfectly.

Cons: None. Not sure this is a 'con' issue, but these chips have latency specs of 9-9-9-20 clock cycles, whereas the OCZ Platinum 1333MHz low voltage DDR3 2GB chips are 7-7-7-20. I was unsure whether the additional clock cycles would adversely affect performance, but as noted below, overall performance is decidedly enhanced.

Other Thoughts: I purchased 4x4GB to replace the 4x2GB previously installed in my P55 chipset LGA 1156 Gigabyte MB. 16GB is the maximum memory supported by this MB. I wasn't sure whether added memory would significantly improve performance, and am pleased to report that overall performance is decidedly snappier.

Pros: I was suprised to find how inexpensive adding 8G of RAM to my computer was. I did a quick browse, and I was buying these within minutes. I was not disappointed.

Cons: I have yet to utilize all 12G of RAM my computer has available? These are the good kind of problems to have...

Other Thoughts: Low Voltage means that the RAM can be used with i5 and i7 processors, whose motherboards typically come with warnings recommending RAM not be rated over 1.65V. These will preform identically to higher-voltage RAM, but they require less power. In other words, "Low Voltage" is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Pros: Inexpensive, good speed, no issues, good warrenty

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Purchased this for an upgrade to dd3, installed with correct timings on new mobo.

Pros: Fast, cheap, 4gb per stick... lots of memory.

Cons: 2 of the 4 sticks I bought didn't work. wont' pass memtest, and caused 2 days of trouble trying to complete my new build.

Other Thoughts: Motherboard: ASRock 870 EXTREME3
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz
Memory: OCZ Gold 4x 4GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
Graphics: XFX HD-687A-ZNFC Radeon HD 6870
Storage: OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G 2.5" 60GB

Pros: Work
fast
pretty

Cons: non really wish m/b could accept faster ram.

Other Thoughts: Please note that when I dropped the ram in the m/b and it was picked up and worked, windows installed though once installed the pc would randomly crashed. After doing some research on the bios turns out the ram was at 1.45 volts thus i had to change it to 1.64v to get it run with out issues. Since then the pca has run with issues with an i5 at 3.0Ghz from 2.66Ghz

Pros: Pros - inserted directly into ASUS M4A785TD-M motherboard and worked perfectly with no issues. Zero problems found with memory diagnostic.

Cons: Cons....four days after buying the memory (from Newegg), the price dropped 12 bucks. Really, now, there should be a short period where prices are retroactive...not a big deal, but frustrating given I waited 7 months to add another 8 gigs to the system.

Other Thoughts: OCZ memory has been great for me...this computer now has 16 gigs of this memory, and it functions fantastically well. 7.5 on WEI for my memory score both at 8 gigs and now after adding another 8 to the system.

Pros: snapped right in and was read by system no problems

Cons: none

Pros: The one stick that did work, is working fantasticly.. sadly Per their RMA process I have to give them both of the sticks in order to get a replacement... Meaning Im stuck without a computer for some time( hopefully their RMA

Cons: sadly Per their RMA process I have to give them both of the sticks in order to get a replacement... Meaning Im stuck without a computer for some time. And who knows how long their RMA service takes... we'll see

Pros: Quick if it would work. It doesn't work though.

Cons: Spent a while dealing with BSOD problems and ended up spending $70 to have a tech tell me one of two sticks was bad. Now begins the return process, I guess.
