OCZ OCZ3P16002GK DDR3 Platinum Series PC3-12800 1600MHz Dual Channel 2 GB Kit Review

In reality this set is a good DDR3-1333 memory, but not DDR3-1600.
It works perfectly at 7-7-7-20-1T@1333Mhz(667Mhz)@1.5V (automatic settings by the Motherboard), but it is unstable at advertised 7-7-7-20-2T@1600MHz(800MHz)@1.9V, in several modes even without over-clocking of the CPU I couldn't start Windows using 790i motherboard with the latest 03 (03/15/08) BIOS.
With weaker time settings 8-8-8-24-2T@1600MHz@1.9V it works a bit better, but still unstable.

1 Module name is OCZ XTC Platinum OCZ3P160001G (Got this info using CPU-Z ver 1.44.2 and/or Lavalys Everest ver. 4.50.1300 or beta ver 4.50.1347), the set's name is OCZ3P160002GK.
