got a really good built in heat sink
amazing for price
Weaknesses:
it is very big with the built in cooper heat sink, so it does take
up quite a bit of room on the motherboard especially with an
after market cpu heat sink.
Heatsinks are tall and can not fill all 4 dimm slots due to my aftermarket cpu cooler. Then again, what self respecting gamer fills all 4 slots anyhow.
Summary:
I upgraded to this from some 10600 xms3 ram and am not regretting it. Installed onto my Crosshair Formula IV mobo and am running at 1333 MHZ with 7-7-7 20-27 - 1t timings. (1.65V) Memtest 86+ for 3 passes, no errors. I swear this upgrade has my 1100T and 6970 getting along much better these days.
