Nanya has made themselves quite a good kit of RAM. Not only do the heat spreaders have a cool paint job, the sticks really delivered on performance. Running the RAM stably at 1802 Mhz is just another perk to this kit. The added speed of 1802 would normally cost you a decent amount more, but these sticks stepped up to the plate and really overclocked great, but even if you aren´t a hard core overclocker, these sticks can still deliver a great level of performance at 1600 Mhz. The only real downfall of this kit, is that the timings are not lower than JDEC specifications, but this can be overlooked, since most RAM kits that are below JDEC cost a bit more. Overall the timings are not really worth paying extra for, so this kit gets out of that situation. In terms of price to performance, you really can´t beat a good 1600 Mhz kit like this one. If you get a better quality kit, like the one we have here today, you can overclock it to 1800 Mhz with some work, which saves you a lot of cash since most 1800 Mhz kits are double the price of 1600 Mhz kits.The only problem you may have with this kit, is its availability. current it is not sold in any major retail store, or large online site, but if you could then you would find that these kits are actually a bit cheaper than a lot of the more higher end RAM kits. On top of that they also run at a very surprising 1.5 volts, which will give you plenty of voltage head room on the i7 platform. Not only that, but save you some money on your power bill.We have set up a system where we judge the individual aspects of the product, and come up with scores for these categories.
