Conclusion

For a 1067mhz 2gb kit the Reaper are very nicely priced and give those wanting a bit more speed than their current 6400 kits a fantastic upgrade path. Not only that but they overclock beyond their rated speeds nicely and would probably go further when coupled with a strong overclocking motherboard. However, based on these results the overclocking is not fantastic and other kits like the 6400 Crucial Ballistix will very likely do these speeds for less.

When it comes down to it, it's all about how much you like overclocking. If you really enjoy it and don't mind pushing your components, some of the better overclocking 6400 kits will provide the same performance as the Reaper modules with a reduced cost. However, if you aren't a huge fan of overclocking and simply want guaranteed speeds from your modules and some funky heatsinks to boot, the Reaper kit is a damn good choice.

Pros Cons
Good performance Doesn't overclock as much as some other kits
Overclocks more than rated
Looks good
Heat pipes and heatsink

I'd like to thank our sponsors OCZ for providing us with this kit.
