Pros: * 12 GB Triple Channel * Runs at DDR3 2000 * Conforms to Intel XMP * Plug and play with zero issues on a ASUS Rampage III Formula * Runs at 1.60V @ 2000 and 1.55V at lower Frequencies * Reasonable timing when running at slower speeds.
Cons: * Doesn't explicitly list the ASUS Rampage III series on the qualified MB list and vice versa. * Slower timings than other lower capacity DDR3 2000 kits * Using XMP it raises the QPI/DRAM voltage to 1.6V (up from 1.35V), which the MB flags as a bit high (however further research indicates probably note).
Overall Review: I installed this memory on an ASUS Rampage III Formula with an i7 950 CPU. I set it to XMP overclock DDR3 2000 and the board adjusted everything including DRAM multiplier, DRAM timings, bclck, voltages, uncore freq, QPI freq. This actually overclocked the CPU slightly as well. Everything was perfectly stable, so I decided to tweak a bit more. I increased the bus speed to from 133 to 167 and changed the DRAM multiplier to keep the the rate at 2005 MHz. Then I adjusted the CPU multiplier to 23 to get a clock speed of 3841 MHz and upped the CPU voltage a smidgen. It's all perfectly stable running Memtest 86+ and OCCT, so with very little effort I've got a 25% overclock on the system.
