Avexir DDR3 Memory

Hi guys, first post! I though it may as well be a question. I did a search for
"Avexir" and turned up nothing so hear goes...

Has anyone ever heard of them? Reviews look positive!

I was afraid they were a no-name company trying to compete with the "big players". But it looks like they have some experience behind them.
I have 4X 4GB (16GB total) DDR3 DIMMs at 1600Mhz lined up for 200NZD. That is a steal compared to Corsair for example placed at 100 dollars more.

Perks:
Cheap compared to other players
Lifetime warranty
Overclocking performance
Stability

Cons:
Flimsy RAM sinks as far as I can see?

Suggestions? Objections? Opinions?

Cheers!

Welcome to the forums.

Never heard of them but memory is memory to a large degree and if it does the job with a lifetime warranty then it's not much of a risk (if it turns out it has compatibilty issues with your system you can return it DSR).

From the site you linked to the spec is as follows

• 1600MHz DDR3
• SPD Programmed at 9-9-9-24 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
• Unbuffered Long DIMM
• Avexir Manufacture Lifetime Warranty
• Rated Working Voltage at 1.65V
• 240 Pin DDR3 Memory Modules

Pretty much standard 12800 memory settings and voltage - the only thing i would check is if has a proven track record of running sub 1.58V - but only if it's going into a clocked Sandybridge setup.

Well after the cataclysmic failure that was Bulldozer, I decided to go with the faster 6 core PhenomII's! Haha! Don't want to start another Bulldozer thread. But this memory will be used in an AMD environment with an AM3+ GIGABYTE motherboard. Once Bulldozer improves, I'll swap them out later.

Can anyone see any problems ahead with what I've just described? I'm not an expert on memory. I'm still rocking DDR2 memory with an AMD X2 64 processor from 6 years ago. You know, the chips that actually competed with the competition back in the day

Its 100 dollars cheaper, than the exact same Corsair 1600MHz RAM with heat sinks. To be honest, I can't see it being an issue in an NZXT case. The motherboard will have all the air-flow it desires.

Thanks!

Or whatever the New Zealand equivalent of the Distance Selling Regulations are.

True there would be that to consider.

I'm always amazed how expensive tech stuff stuff is in NZ and Australia.

It really is a rip.

By the time the FX-8150 hit our markets, it was only 30 dollars cheaper than the i7-2600K!
