Nice review, nice units, not a fan of the green PCB and red heatsink though.

Not so sure on the con for the conclusion, it is designed to be a large capacity set of ram, how is it a con that most people will not use so much ram?

Its like saying there is a con with this sportscar, most people do not need to go this fast. :biggrin:

I remember when I built my first PC not too long ago in 2007, and back then 8 gigs of RAM was "enormous overkill for anything other than photoshop/video editing".

Same applies here. Also red and green look ugly unless you are going for a Christmas themed rig.

A lot has changed since 2007. More RAM increases minimum frame rates pretty significantly for a lot of games. On top of that the extra RAM is used as a disk cache. The more you have, the better.

For the price of ram now, why not max out your motherboard? :evilgrin: But I think we have a new winner of the ugliest color scheme with the red and green. I think it's worse then Noctua. :sick:

Agreed on the colors...though installed all you're likely to see is the red.

Ayn Rand is the author for people who want to act like complete douche-bags, but don't have the balls to just admit that they are douche-bags.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

I've to say that both the 4071 and 7070 performs very well, specially I'm referring to their OC'ing capability. And their price is also very good.
