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.

Pros: This is real good stuff. I installed in an EVGA FTW3 running an i7 950, the board never had an issue with it and it runs like a charm. I have never tried to run it at 2000 but I once lowered the cpu’s multiplier and had it at 1864 without a problem. The first thing I did was disable the xmp profile (as most problems stem from those anyway) set the ratio to 2:8, upped the voltage to 1.65 and began to tighten the timings considerably – these easily went down to 6-6-6-18-2T at 1333. Overclocking with these is a dream. I was able to pass both prime95 and a 20-pass LinX test running with the ram at 1600 with 8-8-8-24-2T timings on the 2:8 ratio with the QPI at 200 (4.6 ghz); however, anything much above that it’s a Bsod regardless of the timings but it’s not the memory as it’s amazing to even get that far on an i7 with 12gb of memory (on air to boot).

Cons: None. They have been flawless. These are an overclocker’s dream. The key to real-world performance when it comes to memory is not based on clock speed alone, it’s getting the highest speed with the tightest timings and these do it effortlessly. The clock speed is there if you want it and timings are easily tightened if you don’t. I normally run these near 1600, but I got them as ddr3 2000 gives the sort of effortless headroom that native ddr3 1600 can’t. I have my system running 24/7 at 4.55ghz with the memory running 2:8, 8-8-8-24 @ 1584, which will convert an hour-long .avi to an ipod friendly .m4v in five and a half minutes. I’m in the midst of an internal debate of whether or not to sacrifice a little clock speed, get another set and go to 24gb as I do a great deal of media editing, video capture and transcoding, but I don’t want to mess with a good thing.

Pros: Works as specified

Cons: Not so far

Overall Review: Came up at 1333. Once I went to the BIOS to load up XMP, it boot up at 2006MHz and seems to work just fine. ASUS p6x58 premium Intel i7 980x

Pros: Works as promised. Gives a broad range of capability, from the Intel i7 spec of 1066 up to module spec of 2000 (I did not try and go higher). As previously commented, you have the choice of going for clock speed or tight timings.

Cons: Requires above average overclocking skills. Initially booted at 1066MHz on my mobo; which required me to adjust the settings manually through the BIOS (or by using overclocking software). I use the module specs of 9-10-9-28 (9-9-9-24 is BSOD at DDR3-2000)

Overall Review: SonataIII w/ 850 OCZ PSU X58A-UD3R @ 200bclk 3.8GHz i7-950 (x19) w/ Freezer Pro Rev2 G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-2000 (x10) @ 9-10-9-28 (per label) OCZ 240Gb Agility2 SSD & 3 WD 640Gb in RAID5 These are premium modules at a premium cost; they are for Users that want a full range of memory options, but are willing to do the extra work to get it.

Pros: Very fast memory, and was recognized immediately by my ASRock X58 Extreme board. The W7 performance score is 7.9, but even more impressive is the memory benchmarks in Everest Ultimate. I have it at it rated timings & voltage (1.55v), and at 1T, running at 2030MHz. G.Skill is awesome memory! I couldn't ask for better performance!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Works flawlessly in my ASRock X58 Extreme motherboard, and i7 990X cpu.

Pros: On P6TDeluxe V2 = XMP DDR3 2000 speeds not a problem. i 970 OC to 4GHz on air, not a problem.

Cons: Swap memory and CPU into Asus P6X58 -WS and XMP profile has a 50/50 chance of posting. OC impossible. Stability possible by tweaking voltages, but S3 resume hangs.

Overall Review: I don't know if it's the memory or the board, but just becuase it works one place, does not guarantee working elsewhere even wiht the same vendor and chipset. The inability ot employ the basic XMP profile on the P6X58-WS yields the three egg review. The point of XMP is that it's suppose to JUST WORK. That is not the case here.

Pros: none

Cons: I can only get it to run at 1600MHZ, i tried newer bios update, I tried every setting possible in the motherboard. I have an Asus Px58d-3 not the deluxe. I already had the trident 2 6 gb kits which sgkill techs advised me might not work together but they worked just fine with the xmp profile. there is a significant difference between 12gb at 1600mhz or 2000mhz. boot time is slower, startup is slower, games open slower.

Overall Review: Get the gskill trident, or corsair. more compatibile.

Pros: only works at 1600mhz, no use for me i rma'd it. returned it.

Cons: stick with corsair no problems. only $10 - $20more. After a few emails to and from gskill tech support this is what they have to say after I explained none of their memory I bought works as triple channel and only dual channel and not at right speeds either. after much much tweaking, QUOTE: Dear customer, We are really sorry about that.
