it seems worth to buy if the price is the right...

With DDR3 prices being what they are now, it seems to be as cost effective to grab a 8GB kit instead of another 4GB to double up with. ofc this makes me paranoid and the temp issue from the previous review had me worried. This kit did a fairly decent job of things but like 3of6 I was disappointed in the highs and lows (OCs). I was most unimpressed with the timings achieved on the lower frequency settings.
However this hasn't dissuaded me from grabbing one myself.

nice kit and i too was not very happy with the level of overclock you got outta them considering i have run my 1600@1.5 kit too almost 2000@1.65. still great review thanks 3oh6

i noticed you had this kit running at 1T. i have the 2x2GB 1600MHz 1.6v Ripjaws, and even using the bios to change command rate and upping ram voltage to 1.64v, i can't do it. Can it be done, and if yes, how, and is it even worth it?
