OCZ Reaper HPC R2 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3RPR1600R2LV6GK

Pros: This memory just doesn't get hot. I built my first rig not too long ago and am still learning, however this memory is fast with a low latency, looks really cool on my mobo, doesn't get hot even slightly oc'ed at 3.7 ghz from an i7 bloomfield. No air or liquid cooling except to my cpu but since its watercooled theres no fan to force air onto the ram other than ambient case airflow. Not even warm @ abot 1377 mhz. (I said about, for all you hardcore people like i will be!)

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: System doesn't need to be overclocked to begin with. I have no problems with long or short term gaming. This memory is awesome for its price.

Asus rampage lll gene
i7 bloomfield 3.07 ghz
6- ddr3 ocz reaper 1066 = 12 gb
dual radeon hd 5770 gpu (which now that I know more will be upgraded soon to nvidia geforce)
xspc rasa 750 liquid cpu cooling kit (first water kit)
1 tb wd hdd 10000 rpm 6 gbs (ssd next)

Pros: Worked great right out of the package! I built a new rig to run Microsoft FSX which is more dependent upon the processor and RAM than the GPU. The heat sinks cool very well. Zero cooling issues or performance with RAM.

Cons: Absolutely none so far.

Other Thoughts: Based on what I have seen in reviews of this series of OCZ ram, I can see where the elevated cooling pipes might have an impact on clearance in respect to the CPU cooler used and possibly the case. No issues here. Running on Asus Sabretooth X58, I7-950, EVGA GTX 570, Win 7 Pro 64, Corsair 6GB/sec SSD Boot drive, Corsair H50 cooler and Cooler Master HAF932 tower.

Pros: One of the sticks worked.... the others did not.

Cons: They made me mail back all of the memory sticks to get a replacement even though one of them worked... I mailed just the bad ones first, they said they needed all of them so I mailed them the good one. I never heard back. They closed the ticket and I opened a new one to find out they say they never got my last memory stick which was sent by UPS with a tracking confirmation saying they did. THey refuse to honor it. I have no memory and they have all of my money. THanks for playing.

Other Thoughts: Support was terrible and might respond after 3 days.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello, we are sorry for the problem. Please call our support manager at (408) 733-8400, ext 206. We will be happy to assist you. Thank you

Pros: Looks, speed, heat pipe! This ram is fast, compliments my system well. Gets a 7.7 in windoze 7 experience index (sooo much higher than my xms2 i had lol). I know who cares about windows right? Well meh.

Cons: The one reviewer here with me had a problem with the heatsink. I think it's a matter of what you have. My heatsink is a thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme-1366 and this ram fits perfectly.

Other Thoughts: Coulda had some color choices...red woulda been nice.

Pros: Allows heat to flow above the RAM and it cools nicely when put within the case's air flow (as it was for mine).

Cons: May be too big to fit into some spots (my heatsink almost didn't let one fit).

Other Thoughts: Works perfectly with ASUS Sabertooth X58 (what I have).
