    A lot of what I want in a memory review with memory I look at when I shop. I'm even looking at about the same flavor of mobo ... and a quadly to boot! This is a decent test case for me and probably the enthuiast mainstream. I'm eyeing power as well as performance- so that's definitely a bene.

    I was kind of surprised at the Crucials and wondered if there might be a correlation to the power draw ... or even the poor thermal contact. Regardless, they look like great sticks.

    Looked like a fun bunch to play with. gj

    Mike, my Ballistix also has the same problem with 1 side of the heatspreader not making full contact.

    I have 2 of these same Ballistix kits and the spreaders make full contact on both sides.
