Mushkin PC 3500 - Corsair 3500 C2 - Aquarius II

Well, where to begin? I can't emphasize how *easy* it was to overclock this RAM. I recently have had some RAM in my hands (four times RMA'd now) that would not even do stock speeds at 3.0v on my old IT7-max. It was a joy to get my hands on such a quality product; I know this ram still has headroom. It also does have a pretty swanky "trademark" black PCB, although it's hidden for the most part under the copper heatspreaders. Since back in the days of PC133 SDRAM, Corsair has always been pushing the envelope with their ram. First was PC150 when anything above 133 was unheard of. Long classed as the king of the enthusiast memory market Corsair has a reputation for building the highest overclocking modules you can buy. Many companies have set out to de-throne Corsair, but most have failed. Corsair has weathered the storm of fickle overclockers and stayed strong.

Thermaltake has done a good job with this product. It does what it is set forth to do. It is a very quiet watercooling system and performs ok. I was a bit disappointed in the temperatures, but I guess that is to be expected. I can not stress enough how quiet this kit is. The Vantec IceberQ on my north bridge is louder than the fan on the Aquarius2. It was quite a relief to my ears, once I had shut down my other systems.
