There comes a time in every hardware you buy you have to make the decision of "Do I RMA?" or "Do I not RMA?" and well, I had to RMA this RAM. The RAM was great, had uber low latency capabilities but just wasn't quick enough for me. It was only Elpida and I know of Elpida Hyer's that could spank this RAM at looser latencies including my HyperX's. For the average Joe Blow I recommend this RAM but for the Overclockaholics like me, don't waste your time. Next stop OCZ Blade Cas 7's !
