Pros: Runs at 1.65V, fast when it meets spec.
Cons: Five of the DIMMs in my kit worked fine at the default settings, one stick consistently failed the memory tests in sys_basher. I was able to get the RAM to work by changing the CAS settings to 10 (default is 9) and the command times from 3T (the default is 2T). With the slower settings all 6 DIMMs were able to pass the memory tests.
Overall Review: Buying a 6 DIMM kit is a bad idea because if you have a problem with one DIMM you have to RMA all 6. This same RAM is offered in two DIMM kits, you would be wiser to buy three 4G kits instead of one 12G kit, that way if you have a problem with one DIMM you can hang onto your other 8G while you wait for the RMA.
