Review : Great set and speedy with the right set up.
I love the look of these and most of the heat spreaders on other models are unnecessary especially for those not into hard core gaming. These ones look pretty slick and more sophisticated in my opinion (better than the photo shows).

I actually had a problem with the first set I ordered and just one of the modules of RAM had millions of errors causing my new build to be erratic. I discovered this with the help of Memtest. It was the first time I had had a bad module myself, so didn't connect the dots straight away. The bad memory module caused numerous bad installs. So I had to reinstall Windows 7 completely.

Amazon exchanged my set for a new pack and they have run beautifully!! Something I found curious, at the initial point of installation with the first set of modules (with the bad one), the Windows Index reported 7.9 on my SSD, RAM and processor. With the new set, the Windows Index still has 7.9 for my SSD but the processor and RAM are now around 7.6...
