In short: This tough to overclock kit Comes with a fan that could interfere with heatsinks, has a low CAS Latency is expensive and its compatibility is limited, you might be better of with a value kit.

Memory manufacturers release memory kits specifically engineered for i5/i7 CPUs, but a lot of overclockers care more about performance than compatibility. With 6-9-6-24 2N timings and a frequency of 2000MHz this kit looks very promising. The avg price in march 2010 was round and about US$200.-. This kit was compared to the Kingston HyperX 1600MHz and the Patriot Viper 5 2000MHz.

This 2000MHz kit bundle comes with an 11MM fan @ 3,200RPM and attractive heat spreaders that help keep the DIMMs cooland a manual with an install guide. The reviewers rather had seen that this kit was rated at 6-6-6-24 instead of 6-9-6-24.

Overclocking: During overclocking they pushed the BaseClock @ 210MHz which caused the memory to run @ at 2100MHz, a 5% increase, the maximum stable overclock was reached after loosening the the timings to 8-10-8-24, which resulted in an overclock of 2160MHz @ 216 BCLK and the CPU @ 3.8GHz.

Conclusion: This is a high grade kit with high performance with limited overclockability and the user requires a lot of knowledge as far as overclocking is concerned.
