SAMSUNG 4GB DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3/US

Pros: Low Profile
Low Voltage
Can overclock very well
Very nice looking

Cons: none

Overall Review: I’m very happy with this ram. I think it looks even nicer than the ram that have heatsinks. It almost looks tiny compared to regular ram.

I purchased because I’m so sick of my cpu heatsink interfering with ram. Water cooling is not want I wanted due to the risk of leaking and ruining your computer.

I have 16GB of this ram. Two of the sticks are from the matched set sold on Newegg, the other two sticks are the single sticks sold here for this review. I prefer to run them at 1600, using the low voltage 9-9-9-24 1T, using 1.35v on my Asus P8Z77 Motherboard.

Pros: Unbeatable value for memory that overclocks like a dream. Low profile does not interfere with large Noctua heatsink yet RAM stays very cool and stable at 2000Mhz, 9-9-9-24@1.5v. Got it on sale at Newegg for awesome price (currently in stock here and still best price anywhere even without sale).

Cons: The only con so far is the lack of 8gb sticks but 4x4GB is proving pretty sufficient for even large Adobe CS6 projects.

Overall Review: RAM being used with Asus Sabertooth 990FX and AMD FX-8150

Pros: 2000MHz 9-9-9-24-1N 1.5V (i5 3570k & Z77 board)

Cheap

No tacky heat spreader

Small

Cons: Packaging requires tearing or scissors to open

Overall Review: The way these fly under the radar is astonishing. I got the “customer choice” RAM (with 800+ reviews) for the exact same price and it wouldn’t OC nearly as far… didn’t hear about these until I was poking around on some OC website. And even THEY lament the fact that the 8GB pack is out of stock everywhere–just get 2 4’s! Gosh…

This RAM provides high-end performance at a commodity price. This is simply the best RAM out there–unless you want to pay through the nose, and even then, you’ll probably need to run higher voltages.

Pros: Had them in my system for a couple days now constantly stress testing different combos and they have all been very successful with minor voltage tweaks. To summarize this is what I have been able to do which where all very stable:

@1600 7-7-7-21 1.55v (didn’t test much with lower voltage)
@1866 9-9-9-24 1.45v (currently using)
@2133 9-10-10-24 1.525v (very impressive, but prefer lower voltage)

Their low profile makes them perfect for big coolers like the Hyper 212 Evo which I use. They don’t even come close to hitting the fan. They actually ride lower than the dimm latches on the mobo.

Cons: Absolutely not. Some may not like they don’t have heat spreaders, but even during OC these things barely get warm to the touch.

Overall Review: After reading all the great reviews I just had to try them out and I am very glad I did. I have been using G.SKILL for years and will continue to cause they are great as well, but for these have been a joy to use.

I decided to get the single 4g sticks since the matches sets where out of stock. Even though they are unmatched you would never know the difference and I think that right there just tells you how well this memory is made.

Current System:
2500k Sandy @ 4.3 stock voltage (OC’s to 4.5+ easily, but no need)
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H (Amazing Board! Will try IVY bridge out eventually.)
SAMSUNG DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) @1866 9-9-9-24 1.45v
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition OC 2GB (Best bang for the buck.)
Crucial M4 128GB SSDx2 (System and gaming drives. Best SSD’s on the market IMO.)
WD Caviar Blue 500GBx2 (Raid 1 storage for business files.)
CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 (Extremely nice power supply!)

Pros: Bought 2 of these, insanity, 8-8-8-24 @ 1600 right now, I can go even farther but I am happy the way it is.

Cons: They are small, really small, not really a con but you really need to get into your case to press them in.

Overall Review: I usually buy Corsair etc, I was refered by people on the Futuremark Forums to get this instead when it came time to replace my 2 x 2GB Sticks.

Pros: SPEED
LP ext ext ext!!!

Cons: None

Overall Review: if you are looking for real performance and not fancy looking s#@* I highly recommend this Rams with state of the art technology

Pros: Excellent inexpensive memory. Easy to overclock no gaudy fins that nobody sees anyway. Low profile which was a good thing after I put my CPU cooler in. Great performance too. 8GB was the sweet spot after Starcraft, COD3MW, Skyrim, The Witcher2 and Crysis the most memory utilization is 45%. I am not doing video rendering so I don’t need to uber multitask.

Cons: None absolutely none.

Pros: Runs fast with little convincing, stays cool, sits almost lower than RAM module latches.

Cons: None
