This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs at its rated speeds and timings without a hitch. Absolutely no problems when paired with an eVGA X58 board. Lifetime warranty.
Cons: Just wish it was DDR3-2000, that is all :)
Other Thoughts: The Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3-1600 kit has the exact same speed, timings, and voltage but costs over $50 more.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good price
Cons: This is a follow up to my earlier review, to which the manufacturer responded. Here are the facts: with this RAM on an Intel DX58SO board/i7 proc, I experienced an increasing incidence of STOP errors related to memory. Memtest and other tools identified problems in all three sticks; one stick had far more issues than the others. I bought Corsair Dominator kit and the issues have disappeared, confirmed through extensive testing. Bottom line is this RAM is flawed.
Other Thoughts: If you want to save money up front, then get it. You might hit the lottery and get all three sticks working. I've seen many responses from the vendor on this, but it starts to sound like cant after a while. I'd like my money back and I'll try to get it, but I'm sure this will end up being a lesson learned.
Manufacturer Response:Hello, it does sound like your kit has developed issues, and we aplogize for that. If we can be of any assistance, we would be happy to set you up with a replacement kit. Please visit the link below and create a support ticket to start the RMA process.
Thank you

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: *OCZ Brand
*Good price for 6GB of PC1600 DDR3
Cons: *RMA'd the RAM. One of the 3 sticks was not performing up to spec. When the RAM was removed, BSOD stopped and system ran normal. I noticed that in my Mother board utility the flawed stick didn't show a Serial Number where the other two did. This is how I ID'd the stick with the problems.
Other Thoughts: Faced with a decision to run 4GB and toss the flawed RAM and RMA all three I went with the RMA. Newegg still charged a fee to RMA...

Went with 4GB of Corsair Dominator and haven't had any problems.
Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry that you had problems. We have a fully staffed support forum, and we may have been able to assist you with troubleshooting and settings to get your 6gb of memory running stable. As you found, running a 4gb kit is much easier.
Thank you

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It works and works at 1600 on evga x58 board - 12GB fully functional with when maxed out using VMWare.

Windows 7 RAM Rating: 7.9 with 6GB
Cons: Windows 7 RAM rating went down from 7.9 to 7.8 when doubled from 6gb to 12gb.

Must program bios to get specified 1600 speed. Does not auto detect - every bios update is a reconfig of RAM:
EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 LGA 1366 Intel X58 motherboard
Memory Frequency 1600 mhz ( 2:12 )
tCL Setting ( 8 )
tRCD Setting ( 8 )
tRP Setting ( 8 )
tRAS Setting ( 24 )
Voltage Control
CPU VTT ( +150mv )
DIMM Voltage ( 1.65v )

I have seen comments about EM LOW GAP = 3 GB, but have not had to do that.
Other Thoughts: Read somewhere to put this in order of serial number kit (xxx-1, xxx-2, xxx-3) then do the same with the other kit. Did this for fun, no problems experienced.
