Great Kingston Products

I have always used and loved Kingston products. This is no exception. He does what he says and more. I haven't had a chance to actually overclock it yet, but I've had good experiences in the past, so I hope to repeat this. As soon as I get my water block in the mail I'll update this review to let you guys know how far I've been able to take this ram. Edit: I have my water block. It's still a long way to go before I find my system's sweet spot, but I'm happy to report that I've been running this RAM at the advertised DDR3-1600 speed. I had problems at first, then I realized that the SPD for memory timings is DDR3-1333 @ 9-9-9-9. You need to change your times to 10-10-10-10 or it won't load at 4pm at all. I'm not sure if increasing the voltage would make a difference, but I'll leave the RAM at the factory settings until I can find out the maximum limits of the rest of my system. As soon as I find a better place on my system (probably limited by the motherboard) I'll update this post again :P
