Pros: Just like the instructions say, it defaults to 1333 so your computer doesn't get ticked off at it. I set it to 1600 in the BIOS and away she went! Super fast! Nice heat sinks. I don't know why people are mad about the color. It's awesomely unique! It gives a new pop inside my Antec Nine Hundred case full of boring blue LED fans!

Cons: The only thing I would say I didn't like about this RAM is that the heat sinks felts cheap. Like, they moved when I went to install them kind of cheap. They aren't a solid heat sink setup like most other RAM out there, they are kind of 2 pieces that come together but don't interlock. So, be careful, this doesn't affect the cooling performance, just caught me off guard. Not going to dock an egg for this b/c they work and I didn't break them off installing :)

Overall Review: I got these in a combo with my i7-2700k. They work perfectly fine. I have had no hiccups with them yet. I've used GeIL for about 6 years now and have never had a bad stick (easily over 75 PC builds).

Pros: I received the memory and the memory was reading at 1600. This was because I already set my motherboard for my existing memory to 1600. The very first time I booted up, Windows 7 crashed. I tweeted a few BIOS settings and it was more stable but, still would crash once in a while. Removed my existing 8GB(2x4GB) Consair sticks and set the memory in BIOS using the specs provided on the box for the Geil. Booted up and no issues. I just had to face the fact that mixing different memory speeds/manufacturers just wasn't going to work. My Consair was 9-9-9-24 and the Geil was 10-10-10-28. I am not a "serious" gamer but, I need a lot of RAM for my VM's that I run for work.

Cons: I think it was a great value for the money. I purchased this memory on a Newegg Shell Shocker sale for $87. None that I can think of right now.

Overall Review: COPIED FROM ANOTHER REVIEW ! NOTE: There is a nice slip of paper that you'll see immediately after opening the package stating that the memory will NOT default to 1600Mhz, and that this is done as a safety percaution againts some motherboards. All you have to do is go into bios, and the memory will clock up from 1333 to 1600 with no issue.

Pros: Works really well. I picked up 2 sets of this RAM for a BIOSTAR TA990FXE AM3+ AMD 990FX motherboard (32 GB max) and it works perfectly. Runs at 1600 MHz as advertised. I did need to go into the BIOS and I adjusted the settings manually (which is normal for most motherboards), so it only took a minute to do. I have been using it about 10 days now running everything from City of Heroes (for 4-5 hours at a time) to running MS SQL queries for work, MSBuild, building WiX MSI packages, etc. no issues whatsoever. Also set up a 4 GB RAM disk using DataRam software and I moved my IE Temp folder onto it (just for fun). I also ran Mem Test (V 4.0) last night for 5 hours (2+ full passes) with no errors. This memory is a great buy and the heatsinks are pretty cool looking too if you have a windowed case.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have used Geil memory 2-3 times in the past 10 years on various builds and I have never had a problem with it. Geil may not be a popular as Corsair, Crucial or Kingston, but it is comparable in reliability and quality in my couple of experiences using it.

Pros: price price price, it works, what else is ther to say, timing not great but not horrible either

Cons: nont

Pros: Works perfectly on my ASRock Extreme 7 Gen 3 after the bios recongized the correct timings (after reboot). Simple install and fast!

Cons: The coloring is slightly off (mustard greenish) from my black and gold motherboard. No problem if you are not displaying your case.

Overall Review: I would recommend the EVO Corsa 1600Mhz series. A must for a high-end PC. ASRock Extreme 7 Gen 3, I7-2700K overclocked, GTX 680, Corsair H80 Liquid cooling, Sesonic X750W, Fractal R3 case

Pros: Built AMD A8 system with gigabyte motherboard A75M-D2H all 16GB registers

Cons: some what large with coolers, not a big issue

Pros: The heatsinks really give a protected feeling for the memory chips. My ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard defaulted it to 1333 as mentioned by others, BIOS changed to 1600 without issue. Ran Memtest86 overnight without any errors. Got it on sale, and still room for more!

Cons: I guess I never considered that the color could be a possible con...

Pros: 1600Mhz clk works great. I like the color its a nice shiny gold, makes me wish it was more visible in the case.

Cons: None so far.
