Decent RAM

review by ieatfish

I haven't had any issues with this RAM at all. My i7 is overclocked to 4GHz though I'm running my RAM at near stock speeds. I have two of these kits for a total of 12GB and 6 sticks with no issues. I do quite a bit of rendering and so the extra RAM comes in very handy. I haven't had any issues.

ProsCons
Low heat spreaders, fast, decent timings
