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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very well built ram, excellent heat spreader design and execution. Was able to run cas 6-7-6-12 at 1900mhz before I had stability problems. People seem to be having a hard time getting the ram set to the speed its advertised as. I think people assume the ram will just run the speed out of the box, you have to assign the CAS settings in the bios as well as the divider.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I had absolutely 0 problems getting this ram to the advertised speeds, If your any bit of a good system builder you will have 0 problems making this ram perform. A guy did some write ups in the memory section at ocforums.com. Worth your time!

Pros: can't comment yet, just came by to say one thing:

Cons: be careful when you are installing it. The heatspreader is very sharp on the top and I cut my finger open pushing it into the socket. not very bad but it bled.

Other Thoughts: so far i've been stable at 1600mhz @ 7-8-7-22 I'm pretty sure i can get it to the stated speeds just need to play around with core VTT and vdimm more. core i7 920 3800mhz, gtx 260 core 216, g.skill trident 6gb tri-channel ddr3-1600. i will put a more in-depth review after a month or two.

Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

I will let the manufacturing department know immediately about the sharp edges! We apologize for that as that should not happen. For the memory settings in BIOS, make sure memory voltage is set to 1.65V. Memory timings should be 6-7-6-18. If you have issues or need assistance configuring the BIOS, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than glad to assist you.

Thank you
