Team Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model TXD316G1600HC9DC-V

Pros: It's well built, and specifically, it's built sturdily and with good heat resistance in mind. It's also a good price for good quality and good specs.

Cons: It's not exactly pretty, but I'm not sure that's a con. I have no technical cons for this one.

Pros: I'm sure these are excellent. I have a good feeling that they work. I have an Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard that only accept DDR3 ram between 2400 and 1333, including DDR3 1600, which these are. Also, the motherboard says it can take up to 32GB (doing the math, 32gb divided by 4 slots = 8 GB per slot, perfect!) So i bought these for 16gb (32gb is overkill!) and the motherboard just would not accept them. I'm giving these 5 stars because it is the motherboard's fault and not Team Vulcan RAM's fault. Newegg gave me a refund, and I bought something from the QVL* in the manual.

Cons: Picky motherboard! Had to settle for 8gb ram, not 16gb.

Other Thoughts: For those of you who are familiar with QVL (Qualified Vendors List), my MOBO only had up to 8 GB total on the "Qualified" list of RAM in each category (DDR3 2400, 2200, 2133, 2000, 1866, 1800, 1600, 1333). Asus, if you only qualified up to 8gb ddr3 ram, (which were rare on the list, most were less than 8gb) then why say the board supports 32gb? Everyone I asked had never heard of something not accepting RAM, and there was no reason why these shouldn't have worked.

Pros: Works great, supper fast 7.9 in Win system rating
Used 1gb for a ram disk for temp/cache/pagefile
Best value(at time of buying) for price/latency
love the shade of red

Cons: auto set to 1333 in mobo but an easy fix

Pros: looks nice

Cons: Made my Gigabyte 990FXA beep memory error, made my Gigabyte 990xa not do anything, no bios beeps, no nothing....
Their "support" website says these are compatible with the 990 chipset, but that isn't true in my case. (RMA'ed the first set of these, second set the same result)

Other Thoughts: Should have gotten GSKILL

Pros: -As fast as any other DDR3 CAS 9 RAM, at a fraction of the price.
-A full memtest86(+) test passed without error.
-DOES appear have XMP, but for me it the timings were incorrect and were entered as 9-9-12-24, I changed it to 9-9-9-24 without issue.
-Really nice tone of red, looks great on my motherboard.

Cons: -I haven't owned it for long, but no problems at all thus far.
-RAM was from Taiwan I believe it said, but what isn't from either China, taiwan,

Other Thoughts: Great purchase, got it for $20 off and a $10 off promo code with it. Fantastic.

Pros: Awesome memory, 7.9 on windows experience, installed in dual channel mode with no problems. 1ST time boot and all memory usable and runs very cool.

Cons: Should have gotten 2 more sticks to have 32GB (LOL)

Pros: Great timing, great price, color.
Worked as expected, 2 x 8 gb, what isn't there to love.

Cons: It had no reviews when I first bought, but I took the chance and it works great!

Other Thoughts: Biostar 990fxe, fx4170 cpu, agility 4 ssd, xfx 6870, everything runs great and super fast.
