I am building a P55 system and have ordered this memory:
OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Gold Low Voltage Dual Channel OCZ3G1333LV4GK
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MOQNHG/ref=oss_product

However, I am concerned the memory may not be the best choice.
I may do some mild overclocking, but my main goal is rock solid stability.

Is there a better choice out there that would justify doing an exchange?

I bought from Amazon and the package is unopened.
 
OCZ is (used to be?) good RAM, but lately it seems too many bad sticks (which won't run on the rated spec) slip under their QA... Not sure these will overclock...

OTOH, the G.Skill Eco is great RAM !
Though I don't overclock (I'm all for cool and silent), based on reviews I read, it seems it's wonderfully overclockable (thanks to the large voltage headroom).
 
Ok, that was my fear.
Well, I decided to return the OCZ. Got terrible reviews at Newegg too.

I decided to go with:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231277

It gets tons of good reviews in Newegg. Its the top DIMM by a wide margin.
