Would have been nice to see more PCB's tested without a heatspreader to see if they are really worth it for high end DDR2. A Good review nonetheless. Makes me glad i bought some GeIL Black Dragons!
Has anyone else noticed that the CPU-Z Memory Type for all the modules read DDR3? Is that a CUP-Z bug or a Toms testing setup bug?
