Great!

"Runs extremely stable and cool at stock speeds: 800MHz @ 4-4-4-12 @ 2.0V 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2V Runs nicely at 900MHz @ 4-4-4-12 @ 2.26V At 910MHz they crash after a few hours. Fastest speed I got was 1176MHz @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.3V, but also crashes after a few hours. I use a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard. The light show is incredible! The only problem is that I can't find another set......" Read Full Review »

Bad Experience

"I spent many weeks getting BSOD's on building a new computer, only to find one module of a matched pair was faulty and the other module would only work at default voltage (+0.1) instead of (+0.3)as the then recomended voltage was 2.2v Now awaiting RMA ! - No doubt a 2v one? Certainly NOT recomended unless you have spare modules for testing purposes..." Read Full Review »

Memory gets hot but normal hot. Could have better heatsinks. Also wish they made the 8500 Speed in 2GB or higher mod …"  Read Full Review »

These time really easily to a tight 4-4-4-12 without any issues and can be run under the rated 2.0v and still stay stable.

Micron memory is always a plus.
