5 out of 5 eggsGreat RAM

Pros: *Decent price I guess: $91.99 ($71.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate)
*Easy to install
*Worked fast enough for me
*Almost 4 years and still going strong

Cons: Nothing much

Other Thoughts: Triple-channel is unique and I don't think it'll be compatible with most other desktops, but it's worked fine for my compatible motherboard.

1 out of 5 eggsCan't overclock to advertised speeds

Pros: Has lasted close to 3 years when underclocked.

Cons: I've been running this kit for almost 3 years. Unfortunetly, I didn't realize that I was running them at 1082 instead of the advertised 1600. Simply put, the RAM does not run at 1600. The machine bluescreens.

5 out of 5 eggsMade it almost 3 years!

Pros: This memory has treated me well. Purchased on March 2010 and these sticks have endured thousands of hours of system uptime and equally as many hours in gaming.

However, I purchased these sticks when OCZ was more respected among system builders. There was a time when I recommended them to everyone.

Cons: I can't really dock ANY stars for a product that lasted me almost three years. I just wish that OCZ would have kept up with their quality control and image.

Other Thoughts: Interestingly enough, I bought these in 2010 at $170! Amazing what a few years does. Even for the 6gb triple channel kits they are obnoxiously cheap.

Overall, would no longer recommend this brand to any system builders. If you're building a system that is using triple channel memory, you're doing it wrong anyway.

2 out of 5 eggsWould not recommend

Pros: Did the job for about 2 years.

Cons: It comes with 3 x 2 gb sticks. One died in about 6 months, the next one died about a year after that. One still remains.

Other Thoughts: Go with something cheaper. It didnt work out for me in the end.

1 out of 5 eggsFails on cold startup

Pros: works when warm

Cons: These would cause crashes when the machine is started when cold (ie powered off over night). Problem went away when memory was replaced with GSKILL. Problem showed up in other computer when installed there.

5 out of 5 eggsOwned for 3 Years no issues

Pros: I have had this along with my i7-920 works great. I have not needed to overclock the memory so maybe that is why I have had zero issues with this memory.

Cons: No cons, love the product works as expected.

1 out of 5 eggsCustomer Service and equipment are terrible

Pros: Decent memory when it worked.

Cons: I bought 2 bundles of this stuff, close to $300 dollars at the time. 1 pack of 3 sticks was fine, the other pack had 1 stick that wouldn't even let the system boot up if it was in and had close to 40,000 errors on memtest, another stick had over 30 errors on memtest, and the last stick was fine. I did the RMA twice...first time, the guy kept asking for information I had already given him, so I gave up. A year later I tried again, sent in the sticks, they said they were going to refund me $70 a kit, but when they recieved the items they said the warrentee was void because a sticker was removed.....A STICKER THAT ONLY SAID PC3 12800 AND WAS COVERING THE HEAT SPREADER...some how taking that off voided the warrentee. Yeah, lets just fail to remember your product didn't work straight out of the box. This sticker isn't more than half an inch big...and they don't even MAKE MEMORY ANY MORE...NOT LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO RESELL IT. I will never buy OCZ again. The service is terrible.

Manufacturer Response:

We aplogize for the problem, and that your warranty was voided. Our policy has always been that if the ID stickers are removed from any OCZ product, the warranty is void. This is done to eliminate tampered or altered memory kits from being returned. Thank you

5 out of 5 eggsGreat performing RAM!

Pros: Great performance, no heat issues to date!

Cons: None I can think of!

Other Thoughts: Came with a great rebate, and definitely felt safe ordering through Newegg! I've been incredibly happy with the quality and performance of the RAM, and I'll happily buy from OCZ again in the future.

1 out of 5 eggsPoor customer service from OCZ

Pros: For the month that it worked after purchase, it worked well enough.

Cons: One of the sticks started returning errors and causing random BSODs at start-up after a month of use. Replacing the OCZ RAM with some equivalent RAM from another company fixed the issue. RMA'd the RAM to OCZ, only to receive back that they have discontinued the product and can only refund my money. However, they refuse to refund the purchase price, and will only refund current market value, leaving me out more than $20 and the time/money spent returning the product, all for a month of use.

As a side note, the RAM I replaced the OCZ product with was less expensive and returns a higher rating at stock settings in the Windows 7 performance test. I am overall very disappointed with the company if this is standard practice.

Other Thoughts: Were the RAM still in working order, I would likely be pleased with its performance. However, as things are now, it is unlikely that I will buy anything from OCZ in the future.
