I'd go for the ReaperX kit personally, I hear they clock rather well.

My favourites are not on the list (G.skill and Corsair Dominator, both pc8500).

The Geil Evo is supposed to be great. Price not being much higher, i'd go with that one.

Currently I have the G.Skill PC2-8000 PQ 4GB, but I can pass them to my second PC.

I need some good mems to OC. I'm still choosing between an E8400 or a Q9450.

Anyone know wich one has the best chips?

Just for FYI, Would the OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4GB Edition be a problem with my Thermalright Ultra 120 e-Xtreme Cooling on Asus Maximus SE?

Yes I can say that the Dominator 2 X 2G set OC's very well.

Thanks.
One last question.

The OCZ heatsinks make any difference against the "normal" heatsinks on the Team Xtreem?

powerchips use low voltage so heat spreaders sholdent matter, u will be using 2.0-2.1V so heat isnt a problem

team or corsair would be my picks just get whatever is cheaper, but not the ocz sli those arnt seeing rated clocks
