Many people who have issues with this memory fail to realize that these are 1.9v parts. After manually setting the voltage to 1.9v I've had no issues getting the correct performance. However some motherboards (generally those in prebuilt consumer systems like Compaq/HP, Dell, etc...) do not allow for this setting to be changed.
This product does not work at the speed that says.
I installed the memories in a Motherboard INTEL D975X and they do not work to 4-4-4-15 as it indicates in the page.
Works great
I installed 2GB in my ASUS P5K-E with INTEL CORE DUO 2.6 running VISTA ULTIMATE 64 BIT and I think it's fantastic, ordered 2 more GB. Way to go OCZ.
Usage Experience
I purchased it at a very good price. This kit did run well in my system (MB: Asus P5B deluxe, OS: Vista Premium 32bit) but not in my other system (MB: Asus P5B, OS: Vista Premium 32bit).
When I tried to set the latencies manually in the bios (P5B Deluxe) the system did not boot up, I did stick to the default SPD time table which use higher latencies (5-5-5-15) than specified by OCZ for this kit. I am using it like this for 20 days till it has come to an end. While I was doing one of my long gaming session (3 hrs or more) the system just stopped responding. Ouch! I had to force the shut down. The system did not boot up again! I started troubling shooting, keeping the basic components (MB, CPU, RAM, VC, HDD, DVD, FDD, KB & mice). First I was suspecting my Crossfire setup but it was not the issue then it appeared to be the RAM. I installed another 2GB kit (Corsair) and everything is back and up again. I know OCZ has a life time warranty for kit but I was not expecting to face such issue that fast in less than a month. Now I will send it to OCZ for RMA.
Finally I can't rate this product 5 stars because overall I am not happy and also I can't rate this product 1 star because this glitch could happen with any computer component for un-explained reasons.
Needs too much power
This won't work with 1.8v main boards and this information isn't listed on Amazon's site. I returned it, and as always, the Amazon return process is very easy.
