Still runs fine, getting an extra 5% out of memory has little impact on system performance.

And it still has a lifetime warranty, so even if it fails you get new RAM / money back

It was the failure rate I was referring to. I guess the only problem with 'money back' is if in a years time it dies and I get £25.99 refund, it will probably cost twice that to replace it. But hey it's still a good deal...now to get some of that OCZ Platinum that's on offer :)

Isn't that the cr*p stuff?

Seems to have a highish out of box failure rate according to reviews (and my own experience), but timings are better than the Platinum stuff currently on offer and 5 out of my 6 sticks run perfrectly fine @ 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 1T in tri-channel. The 6th stick is knackered and will not run even 1400MHz @ 10-10-10-27 2T single channel.

Hopefully OcUK will refund my postage costs for RMA, otherwise I have not saved anything on that set.
 
Got two of these running in my MSI 870A-G54 (budget Phenom build) and they work perfectly at 1600MHz.

Can't really go wrong at £25.99, especially with a lifetime warranty as well.
 
Am I missing something, when I add this to basket its £31, was it till friday unless they come in stock earlier than Friday?

I still can't quite decide between these and the low voltage ones, does anyone know if the low voltage ones scale well with voltage?

I'd prefer a higher clocked pair for my Phenom 2 system that can take higher voltage no issue, but planning to go Bulldozer and on the offchance they have similar 32nm/requirement for less voltage issues a lower voltage set seems the smarter long term option.

It was til 9AM today. The OCZ Platinum are on special offer for the same price now.

I was just coming back to post, I'd completely forgotten it even was a friday to be honest though I thought it would have been till the end of today.

Bah, time flies when you're not working, and my week is usually set by football so having games on Wednesday instead of Tuesday throws me off :p
 
Seems like I've been lucky so far. I ordered 4 sets which came yesterday and a further 2 sets that were dispatched today. The 4 sets that came yesterday have all had 1 pass of memtest ran on them and they appear to be working fine. However, the motherboard is a G41 chipset which has clocked the ram down to PC3-10600 so not sure if that makes any difference?
 
Have i missed something here (probably, because i do that a lot).

From what people are saying, it sounds as if the general opinion is that OcUk are getting rid of all the carp before OCZ pull out of the memory business. Surely the memory isnt that bad ???

You are missing something :)

OCZ have already pulled out of the Memory Market and sold all their stock to OCUK. OCUK aren't selling it cheap because it's carp, they're passing their savings down to their customers. OCUK have also agreed to honour all warranties should OCZ fail to do so.

IMO OCZ memory is still excellent memory and I would buy it (and have done) without any hesitation.

Lol in the future you might be on ddr4. Its going to take ten years for the world to recover from the recession, so i reckon if prices do go up it wont be by much

Memory prices are traditionally extremely volatile (relative to other PC components) irrespective of global economic conditions. Things as 'simple' as an earthquake can have a significant impact on supply and thus prices. Throw in the cartels and predicting memory prices is extremely difficult.
 
tested both my kits 8 times with memtest, not a problem. i just left it running whilst i played ps3.

got them running at 8-8-8-24 @ roughly 1.6v on sandybridge setup.

would i be able to lower the voltage and test them using memtest or do i need to use prime or something? in order to see how low i can run them?
 
Got my new system setup and installed 2 sets of these, so in total have 8gb.
Set the memory settings to 8-8-8-24 @ 1600mhz and its been running fine for past few days and now.
I also did a memtest yesterday which took over an hour and it passed all the tests, heck I even let it go on for a bit longer.
I think I read somewhere that someone got these running at 2100mhz, altho im unsure on how safe that would be to run at. Suppose a 1 off here and there for running your games but not for daily use? Hope someone can shed some more light on this

Overall seems all good to me. Great price, what a bargain for ddr3 ram at fast speeds.
Don't see why anyone wouldn't grab this deal?!!!!

what voltage you running it at?

my motherboard doesnt pick up the settings, it detects this ram as 1333mhz ram and 9-9-9-20, therefore none of the settings are right.

could someone give the full settings for this ram? like what should be put in all 20 boxes or howver many there are.

or do you only need to adjust those 4 boxes and the rest dont make any difference to stabilty?
