The CAS rating is too conservative. Look at the review. They did 10-10-10-28 1T DDR3-2133 @ 1.5 V.

Ok. I might try to hold off until someone here on OCN can give a small review. I'd REP if possible!

I just became a sucker and bought 2 sets from Tigerdirect (free shipping over $50). I'll let you know my experience and decide whether to keep them or to resell them.

Here is a little review of the ram:
I got two pairs of it and did a quick and dirty boot for 1830MHz 8-9-8-24-1T at 1.63V. Booted easily and ran into no problems. Haven't had much time ,but got through 10 minutes of prime easily and about to do some runs of IBT to confirm stability and will post results.

Okay here is an update, got it to 1830MHz 8-8-8-24-1T @1.6V (untested but booted with ease). The ram refused to boot at 2200MHz 10-10-10-27-1T at 1.65V, and 2133MHz 10-10-10-27-1T at 1.65V. I don't think the ram likes voltages above 1.6V.

UPDATE:

Here is my mini-review based on my experience with the ram so far:
Okay it seems like this ram doesn't like very high voltage around 1.58+ most likely due to no heatsinks and such and probably wasn't made to take much voltage. The ram didn't like CL8 on anything above 1600MHz. Would not boot at 1.65V 2200/2133MHz 10-10-10-27 for me.

I have gotten it stable so far at 1830MHz 9-9-9-24-1T @ 1.51V and passed 10 mins of prime95 so far.

The people who were able to get it to 2000-2200 were on the SB platform, so that might be why. These are still a great deal for the price, a lot of the sub-$40-$50 RAM from Newegg don't overclock much past their rated speed/timings.

I've been holding out on upgrading my RAM so I could buy the rest of my WCing parts, but this seems like the perfect kit for me. I'm not trying to hit high clocks, but achieve lower timings and if it can do CAS8 at 1600mhz with 1.5v, it's already better than the other RAM at this price range. With my current RAM, it's CAS7 at 1600mhz, but the stock voltage is 1.95V, so it's going to be nice for my IMC and motherboard to be dealing with less voltage.
