Pros: Very low volts, Overclocks Decent, Looks

Cons: None

I ended up buying these to replace my power hungry Corsair Vengeance. Was a great move. I bought two 8GB kits for $99.99 from Newegg.

Of course, lower voltage means less heat, and also gives a bit more headroom for overclocking. Currently I'm running stock at 1600mhz, but was able to get them to 1866 with just loosening the timings up a bit to
10-9-10-28 and bump the voltage to 1.5v . Was nice and stable through intel burntest on extreme.

The heatspreader design is pretty nice looking too. Simple black is what I like. Rather low profile too so its great for anyone with heatsink clearance issues.

I have the same type of memory, i was wondering how much of a performance boost it was overclocking them? Is it worth the time or is there little differnce? Is it possible to get these low voltage babies to 2666MHz?...Seems highly unlikely to me.
