Memory. Until it stops working, it's not very exciting, and when it does stop working, it's all the wrong kind of excitement, right? So, we're not going to try to get you excited about memory; we're just going to say that this is a good buy and you ought to consider it for your machine. It has an aluminum heat spreader and a limited LIFETIME warranty for parts and labor, both to protect your investment in what we sincerely hope will be one of the dullest, most matter of fact purchases you ever make.
At this price, you just might be able to fill your motherboard faster than you had thought you could, and that, at least, is an exciting thought!

Pros: There are tons: First, these chips are phenomenal. Right out of the box they run extremely tight timings (4,4,3,8) I can confirm I have overclocked to 1000+ (5,5,5,15 and 2.1v) with only minimal heat issues. These work flawlessly with my Evga 680i setup, booted up first time perfectly. They are very stable, the only time I have locked up is when I was overclocking past 2.1v.
Cons: Heat sinks are glued on (do NOT try to remove them, I almost destroyed my chips) I managed to fit them into my koolance coolers. It's definately a tight fit. The heatsinks look very similar to walmart's logo (definately a con to me) good thing my coolers cover em up ;)
