Are these sticks any good? It seems like they should be with a CL of 3...but some of the reviews mentioned making sure the MoBo will allow 2.4V in order to achieve that.

Can anyone tell me if this RAM would be worthwhile? I'm kind of "on-the-fence" when it comes to OCZ. I hear good and bad things, so I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance!

OCZ has both good an bad products, to be honest, go with a product that you know is good, I've heard mixed feelings on the reaper, and the cooling it has doesn't actually do much. Look at something like the Crucial Ballistix, they are usually the cheapest guaranteed Micron D9G** overclocking chips out there. I could personally take mine up to about DDR2-980 4-4-4-12 with stock voltage, and I have seen them up at 1200 with 5-5-5-15 timings and a bit more voltage. The Micron D9GMH or D9GKX chips are used in all Ballistix and used in almost all ram of DDR2-1066 or above in speeds(with the exception of one or two kits).

I'm definitely leaning towards either the Ballistix or XMS2 DDR2-800 sticks.

But I was curious about these two sets.

I haven't even heard anything about mushkin, good or bad. Curious to see if it's any good.

Or these A-Data sticks. What about these?

Thanks again!

All I have to say is this whole heatsink gimmick thing has got to stop.

With Crucial, or Corsair, you cannot go wrong.

With Corsair you can go wrong, almost all the time. They use the crappiest chips possible to meet rated speeds in all their ram. Even some of the Dominators have switched over to ProMOS chips now.

The A-Data has a chance for either Micron D9GMH or ProMOS, the Mushkin is not the Micron D9 stuff, that is only on their higher end kits.
