OCZ Dual Channel Platinum 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
Cons:None, unless you like 2" heat spreaders blocking your airflow.
Pros:Awesome price/performance, very stable. short heat spreaders, so no issues with big CPU coolers, while remaining effective. No garish colors, will easily fit into any color scheme you have going on. can run stock timings at 1.5v, and overclocks nicely if you give it the full 1.65v. Good support from OCZ. |

Cons:Price to performance was great, picked them up on sale.
Pros:Low power (1.9V)Low cost Comment:
High performance at a low price with a lifetime warranty. Hard to complain, should keep the DDR3 costs away for awhile. |

OCZ Dual Channel Platinum 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
Cons:Timings could be better, you get what u pay for
Pros:Cheap RAM with decent timings for DDR3 Comment:
I didn't want to spend a crazy amount of money on DDR3 when DDR2 is almost as good, so I bought these and they work great! Very good speeds altho could be better, but it works great |

OCZ Dual Channel Platinum 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
Cons:I've already had to RMA one kit so far after 4 and a half months of use, Otherwise I've been happy with their performance
Pros:Affordable DDR3 Kit, Great for overclocking your CPU Comment:
At the time I purchased these modules they were the fastest most affordable memory kit that was available at the time that had a low profile that would not interfere with aftermarket cooling solutions for an AM2+/AM3 CPU cooler and also the thickness of these modules allowed me to install 2 kits onto my Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard for a total of 8GB system memory.However the fact that these are 1.9V modules initially concerned me as to whether or not they would work with my motherboard seeing as how it's asked for 1.65V modules, after flashing the bios and manually setting the timings they're running at rated spec and voltage.They do seem to run quite warm and I've installed an antec spot cool overtop of them to keep them ventilated which may be one of the causes for these modules failing on me but OCZ's limited lifetime warranty provided replacements very quickly.These may be on a 2nd revision since the ones that I received had a black PCB rather than the green PCB on the first 2 kits that I had purchased. |

Cons:-None
Pros:-OCZ legendary reliability-OCZ devotion to quality-OCZ devotion for offering the best ratio priceperformance-OCZ always paid my mail in rebate Comment:
OCZ make the cheapest performance ram period...I never had any problems with their product and it's one of the few part makers that I trust blindly, especially in their field which is ram and storage.Great AM3 ram... but if you get blue pages, it's maybe because the AM3 platform got a FSB of 1333 MHz... DOOOOH! |

OCZ Dual Channel Platinum 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
Cons:They still kinda heat up alot imo, when compared to ddr2 anyways
Pros:Great price for 1600mhzgreat timings compared to other modules todecent voltage compared to other high performance ram keeps heat lower (I have them at 1.8 volts and are working fine) Comment:
I bought 2 kits of this in a 1 week period, motherboard manufacturers still haven't discovered that not all ram is stock 1.4 volts -.-For those who don't know, you have to manually set the speed and voltage in the bios, this is a motherboard annoyance and has NOTHING to do with the ramIf your having bsod's you might have to play with the voltages, at the manufacturer's recommended voltages (1.9) I had a bsod once every 3 days, drop ed it to 1.8 and everything seems fine so farI am running them at 1.8 volts instead of 1.9 and everything seems stable, im going to try to drop it to 1.7 or 1.75Have them running on a GA-MA790X-UD4P the ram isn't on their supported list but they work great anyways This review was modfied by poster @ 06-14-09 08:19 PM |

OCZ Dual Channel Platinum 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
Cons:SPD reads the ram as 1066 with 7-7-7-15 timings
Pros:FastAble to run at specified speeds Comment:
I installed this on a Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3P motherboard which detected the ram at only 1066 with tighter timings than advertised. I changed the settings in the bios for 1333MHz with 1.9v (auto setting had it running around 1.7v) and the advertised 7-7-7-24 timings just to be sure and the system is running without any issues!The heat spreaders end up being flush with the ram slots making them a bit of a tight fit, but at least the retention clips were able to snap into place. |

OCZ Dual Channel Platinum 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
Cons:Rebates are always slow. Manually had to set voltage.
Pros:Good price. Very fast and stable. Comment:
This is some great DDR3. Although the voltage had to be set manually in my x48 mobo OCZ still covers voltage 1.95 or less with a life time warranty. Would highly recommend for stability, performance and warranty. |
I got the 3 dimm kit, overclocks nicely, no issues. Like it much better than my Crucial. You can undervolt to 1.5v at stock speed and timings, no problems, passes memtest. I've run them as high as 2000mhz at CL9 or so, but when overclocking my cpu past 4.0ghz I tend to run it at stock(ish) of 7-7-7-20 and 1700mhz or less. Great memory for the price, most other kits are CL8 or 9.
