you really can't go wrong with either the reaper or the dominator ram, both overclock very well! I have always used corsair and have never had a problem and am even using the same corsair that you are looking at and love it, very fast ram, not to mention corsairs products are always top notch!!! hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies guys!
Looks like the majority of people are liking the Dominators! Sweet!
They're taller than average RAM aren't they? I don' think I could use my OCZ cooler with 'em. Would it be wise to get the Dominator cooler, or are they fine passively cooled?
I don't really want something that's massively tall, that's going to block air flow to my Tuniq.
As you can see, the OCZ Cooler comes up just below the Tuniq, I'm sure the Corsair Dominator would be a fair bit higher;

I have the OCZ and Corsair coolers. The OCZ cooler will not fit over the Dominators or any other kit with extended heatsinks.
With that said if you have good airflow in your case you do not need any aftermarket fans over the RAM. Dont waste your money.
I have the Dominator kits you linked and also a set of Mushkins with the same specs. I find in the 2x2GB kits they are all about the same so go with a kit with a decent price and good customer support just in case.
Personally I vote for the Dominators. Corsair has always been good for me.
If you dont really need the 4GB you will find 2x1GB kits that can run higher clocks or tighter timings than most 4GB kits. So keep that in mind. I have a set of OCZ "SLI ready" RAM that runs 1064MHz 4-4-4-12 24/7 at 2.1v.

Sweet, Dude. Thanks for the advice! Looks like the Dominators are the most popular!
Is it better to get 2 x 2GB sticks over 4 x 1GB sticks?
My PC will look bare though!
