G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8T-6GBRM

Pros: 1.Overclocks well (thought I haven't pushed it past 1800 Mhz thus far). I didn't have to do any manual tweaking with the voltages. 2. Runs rock steady at the stock speeds (I have tested the overclock long enough to comment on OC stability, but it I've had no issues yet). 3.Heat sinks are short enough that I can have a fan on a giant HS like my Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B cooler without blocking a RAM slot. Taller heatsinks would not fit. 4. The RAM heat sinks are indented so that you can still push the RAM sticks into the slots with slicing your finger on the corners, or pushing down on the fins of the heatsink. This may not sound like a big deal, but if you have ever had a set of RAM with tall heat sink fins you know how difficult it is to put them in the slots without bending the heatsink or pushing them so hard that you separate them from the RAM chips. This is actually my favorite feature of these sticks. :-)

Cons: There were some slightly higher performing sticks for the same price, even from G.Skill. I wanted these for the shorter heat sinks, so this isn't really a con for me, but it might be for some.

Overall Review: I used to be a Crucial fanboy, but this is my second set of G. Skill and they have impressed me very much. Their customer service is excellent as well. I had to contact them about overclocking my last set of RAM, because I couldn't get it to perform properly at stock voltages. The rep asked me to give him a day and he called me back later that evening after testing hundreds of settings on the same model of motherboard that I have. He gave me the settings and the RAM worked perfectly at the rated voltages and speeds after that. They really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend G.Skill to anyone who wants high performance RAM for a much more reasonable price.

Pros: Performance, price, quality brand name, what more could you ask for?

Cons: None, and there never will be. The only thing I can think of is maybe some issues with aftermarket RAM coolers, but who cares. It's G.Skill!

Overall Review: G.Skill is a phenomenal brand, their tech support is amazing (Don't believe me? Look at the reviews on any G.Skill product, their support staff works like crazy to resolve any issues anyone mentions) and their product just works. As far as I'm concerned, G.Skill has no real competition.

Pros: quality ram,fast and tight,nice heat spreaders,they fit under my Noctua NH-D14,great pricing from Newegg.

Cons: (:

Overall Review: X58A-UD3R board booted at 1066,automatically set the correct speed and timings via the XMP once supplied with the required 1.6v. So easy even a cave...

Pros: Works great using XMP profile on a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R. Running 8-8-8-24 @1.6 volts as advertised. Runs cool.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I loaded the XMP profile then manually set the timings to 8-8-8-24-1T, the rest of the timings are on auto.

Pros: Affordable, Fast, Heatsinks No Problems OCing my rig with this memory. Looks Great in my Blue Asus MBD, didnt expect that.

Cons: Prices Fell through the floor after initial purchase over a year ago. Now there a 1/3rd what I originally paid.

Overall Review: 12GB installed in Asus P6X58D-Premium, just bought a second kit after a year of great service @ 6GB.. my i7 is OC'd to 4Ghz and rock solid

Pros: Low Price / Low Voltage (1.6v) / No hassles!

Cons: none that I can find

Overall Review: installed these on my X58A-UD3R (rev-1 BIOS F6), set the XMP profile in the BIOS and life is good :D I had a previous brand in my board that advertised the same specs, but it would never hit DDR3 1600... the other manufacturer's tech support told me my board was unable to run memory at DDR3 1600 speed - I guess G.Skill proved them wrong!

Pros: rampage III formula picks up 12gig 1600mhz, windows 7 picks up 12gig as well with no problems.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Gskil and Asus commented that 12gig total of two 3x2 sets may have issues but so far I have had none, all 6 slots are filled on my rampage III formula and 12gig is detected by the asus bios and windows 7..

Pros: Runs as advertised without so much as a hiccup. Due to the first couple initial runs just after my system build, I can confirm the memory still runs at 1.65V, despite being rated for 1.6V. Either way, the system detects all 6GB with the bus voltage set to 1.601V, speed at 1600MHz, and timings at 8-8-8-24-1N. I also temporarily set the RAM to run at 1700MHz while testing a quick CPU over-clock for 1 hour, and it ran flawlessly, but I didn't feel like doing a full blown long term stability test. All in all, the RAM is excellently constructed, has a small profile and is backed by a quality customer support team. My hat goes off to G.SKILL.

Cons: As with the intel memory standard being DDR3-1333 and all, I expectedly had to set all of my timing, frequency and voltage values manually, but it's a breeze and not a problem at all so long as you follow G.SKILL's specs instead of intel's standard. Just be aware that all memory above DDR3-1333 will require you to do this (unless you have XMP enabled of course).
