OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G16004GK

Pros: Excellent!!! Fast, Stable and Cool.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Just an update. This Memory says 8-8-8 1.8v on the side. When I installed it, the auto BIOS settings on my EVGA 790i MOBO set it to 7-7-7-20 at 1.5 Volts. I adjusted it to 8-8-8-20 at 1.8 Volts. Worked great. Then I went to the OCZ website and they have it rated at the following: 8-8-8-24 at 1.9 Volts at 1600MHZ FSB. This was the setting I stuck with. No problems, very fast and stays cool with just air cooling.

Pros: Runs great with p5e3 premium, adjusted fsb to 400 and manually set the memory timings and it's been running without a hitch since. As said above there is quite an improvement over ddr2. Everything i mean everything will load faster and perform better

Cons: until i figured the mobo out, had some bsod of death, but that was do to some options on the mobo automatically being enabled. Runs solid no complaints and no regrets

Overall Review: NewEgg delivered on time as always :) Looking for some fast ram this is it. 4gb of this q9550 asus p5e3premium 2raptors "20 Sceptre 8800gt Solid System

Pros: Extreme Upgrade from DDR2. I was a bit skepticle about buying into all the DDR3 Hype, but when I went to upgrade to an extremely High End MOBO I said the heck with it and went DDR3. I bought the EVGA 790i and 8 GIGS of this DDR3. The results with 2 EVGA Geforce 9800GTX+ Cards gave me 52FPS on Crysis with all settings maxed out running on a 40" Sony 1080p LCD. Enough Said!

Cons: Blue screen of death several times until I went into to Bios and adjusted the Volts for the Memory to 1.8v, the default was 1.7. After that Vista 64-Bit installed in 18 Minutes.

Overall Review: If your going with DDR3, this will work extremely well. Don't waste money on the Higher end PC3 22000 or the ones with Extreme super Spreader Heat sinks and Liqiud cooling. This memory is Solid!

Pros: Couldn't tell you.

Cons: When I got it and hooked it up to my new computer one of the memory sticks wouldn't register. Went to send it back was now have to wait other week or so to get a working memory stick.

Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend this or this brand to anyone. I bought G. Skill brand and it worked great.

Pros: Well when it works its smooth and fast. - Got it to push some programs while at 1600MHZ. - Stays fairly cool with stock heatsinks - Pushes all the Basic Vista Apps around quickly

Cons: EVERYONE, and I Mean EVERYONE has had some type of problem with the Timings and Voltage settings for many different Brands of Motherboards. -The TIMINGS on the sticks do not match OCZ's Website -The VOLTAGE on the sticks do not match OCZ's Website -The OCZ customer response is not helpful at all -Has known BSOD issues with 790i and X48 MOBOS -Has known stability issues with ASUS, EVGA, and MSI -Has never run more than 2 hours without a BSOD, Lockup, or Restart. -Has no buisness in my High End Gaming PC

Overall Review: OCZ always gives the same response on NEW EGG: Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are sorry for the problem. We usually assist our customers with setting and get them running fine. Possibly if you post for help we can give you personal attention and get you running properly. Please give us a chance, we want to make you happy. Thank you But they never actually fix the problem. They tell you to just do some more tweaking, waste your time and soon after you hang up the phone and a new problem begins. Bottom line, OCZ has lost a lot of customers because of Unreliable DDR3 Memory. After 8 months of dealing with it, I finnally went for the cheaper GSKILL 1333 DDR3 and have not had a single issue. Goodbye OCZ and may your company burn to the ground. Oh be sure the leave the standard COPY PASTE response at the bottom of my review. At least fuction of your company is RELIABLE!!!

Pros: Don't know if this works well with other MOBO's but with ASUS Striker II Extreme it surely does not..

Cons: OCZ GOLD == AVOID buying at all costs One of the worst experiences ever..This memory is not at all compliant with the Asus Striker II Extreme Mobo. ( basically the 790i Chipset As it boils down to) tried tons of settings to make it work.. system works for sometime but under memory pressure gives up sooner or later... (HANGS) Cannot ever get to 1600 as stated in unlinked mode. works on 1333mhz only for variable periods.. Went thro' the OCZ forums for a stable timings , tried them .. they all do not seem to work. Tested with chips from Gskill and OCZ Platinum from friends PC, GSKILL works like a charm and so does OCZ platinum Think i should have read more reviews before buying the above.. (NOTE: OCZ Platinum also works nicely with this board... should have bought that i guess..!!)

Pros: ?

Cons: installed in new build back in nov. '11 and gave errors in memtest. thought the frequency wasn't compatible with the m/b. now i install these sticks in another new build, 1600 shouldn't be a problem but immediate errors on memtest.

Overall Review: i hope ocz makes it right.

Pros: Good decent memory Lasted a while for me atleast Got it when it was much cheaper

Cons: Other reviewers seem to have problems the gold heatsinks are kind of pointless... might as well get a generic ram the price now is NUTS

Overall Review: I never really stressed the ram since it was in a mITX system without an overclock. Maybe it doesn't handle that well considering other reviews
