Pros: Does exactly what it says it does, and more. @1600 6-6-6-18-1T 1.60vdimm 1.20vtt @1866 7-7-7-20-1T 1.62vdimm 1.30vtt @1900 7-8-7-20-1T 1.63vdimm 1.34vtt @ 2000 7-8-7-20-1T 1.65vdimm 1.44vtt I had an OCZ Platinum 1600 kit that would not run with my processor much past 1560mhz at any timings or voltage. Thought it was my processor. Turns out it was the memory. I haven't found the end of this memory yet.
Cons: I ended up killing 2 sets of this memory in about a week. First set died 10 minutes into the first hyperpi run, second set died about 2 days into use before I ever even started turning them up. Both times they failed in the same slot, so I got the motherboard replaced as well. OCZ could not have handled the situation more promptly, and even allowed me to come do a will-call RMA both times in their San Jose office. Kudos to OCZ for coming thru in the clutch. The reason why I keep buying their product. Been running the new set with the new motherboard for a llittle over a week now with no issues.
Overall Review: Core i7 920, DFI UT X58 Motherboard, Blade memory, GTX285, 2 velociraptors in RAID 0, two RE3 1TB drives in RAID 1. I run 19 x 200 with memory at 1600mhz 6-6-6-18 1T timings for 24/7 use with 1.23vcore, 1.20vtt, 1.60vdimm and it keeps things nice and cool for hot days. When I am benching, it is 1.26vcore, 1.45vtt 1.65vdimm 7-8-7-20-1T with same cpu speed. Bottom line....you have to pay to play with the i7 platform when it comes to memory.
