Conclusion
The OCZ FlexXLC 800MHz CL3 DDR2 memory kit is an excellent choice if you're looking for a good 800MHz DDR2 memory kit that features good performance, CL3 timings and moderate overclocking potential. Besides good performance the Flex XLC series also has a very nice design and a cool extra is the support for watercooling. However, while watercooling the modules will result in a big temperature drop it doesn't seem to improve the overclocking potential.
With my Flex XLC PC2-6400 CL3 modules I achieved a max overclock of 11% at the standard timings. By loosening the timings to 5-5-5-15 the modules allowed a 31.25% overclock to 1050MHz at 2.4V which is not too bad.
This memory kit is perfect for small overclockers but if you want to go all-the-way I recommend checking out the OCZ Flex XLC PC2-9600 memory kit which runs at 1200MHz with 5-5-5-18 timings - and that are just the advertised specs.
The Good Stuff
Supports watercooling right out of the box
Good performance
Very stable
Overclocks pretty well
Didn't get too hot
Lifetime warranty
Nice looks
The Bad Stuff
Barbs are 1/4"
The large size may cause problems with some aftermarket CPU coolers
I give this memory kit a 9 out of 10 and our Seal of Approval.
