Natural selection: the weak die young. And that's the idea behind Geil's burn-in process: stress those chips so the ones prone to failure die before they ever get to the customer. In short, what high-end manufacturers normally bring to mil-spec components is now coming to inexpensive memory.

Okay, there's not a lot about memory that is genuinely exciting, and when it is, it's usually the wrong sort of exciting. Geil's burn-in testing is intended to make certain that your memory is as boringly reliable as you could hope for. Between their burn-in testing and aluminum heat-spreaders to help keep it cool, they're confident enough that Geil offers a lifetime warranty.

But don't take our word for it. Do the research yourself and make up your own mind. If this is the perfect choice for you, we'll still be here when you get back.

8 GB configuration thoughts

Reviewed By: Q on 3/22/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Works as advertised with 4GB (2x2GB), CL44412 up to ~888 FSB and beyond 1066 at CL5 both at 2.15V-2.2V (Vista 64-bit).

Cons: With 8 GB (4x2)with full banks did not work at CL4/800mhz and CL5 only to barely 888 FSB due to overheating on Gigabyte X38 DQ6. The modules are too close and heat each other (based on succesful fix with cooling). Thermalright memory cooling fixed the problem and now memory produces better values than under "Pros" above with 4GB, but it seems and looks a bit over the top.

Other Thoughts: Good memory with good value. Needs a little help with cooling when overclocked with full memory banks on at least some motherboards.

Overclocking with full memory banks is always harder also because of than with big spaces between the modules, so not really an issue if you use them at normal settings (CL4 may still be shaky at 800mhz at 8GB, if you care).

GeIL ForTheWin again!

Reviewed By: ipsomatic on 1/5/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It's fast, It's not over priced, wide voltage range, and most importantly stable.

Cons: Orange is kinda "fast and furious"

Other Thoughts: RAM has SPD which means you will need to clock it manually to [4-4-4-12] what its rated at. or you can set it where you want it. I have this kit and the 2x1GB kit running stable @ 1111 4-4-4-10 2.0v
would have bought the EVO but NE didnt carry it at the time

Memory Failure after 6 months

Reviewed By: john357 on 9/7/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: I purchased a total of 8 gigs 2Gbx4 for two new Computer builds. After only 6 months one of the 2gb sticks failed on start up/boot. I kept getting a slow repeated beeping in the post during boot up and that's as far as it went. Upon removing the memory sticks one at a time. I found the problem being a faulty Memory Stick. I'm purchasing a replacement only this time it's Kingston Memory as I have never had problems with there products in the past.

Cons: Failed after only 6 months time. I gave an average rating because I'm still using 6 gigs of Geil Memory and it's still working properly so far.

Other Thoughts: I have always used Kingston Memory in the past but figured I would try something different this build. Never again it's Kingston all the way.

No More GeilUSA

Reviewed By: Comp Guy on 6/25/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: Although I don't own this kit, I bought Geil's 2 x 1 PC6400 Kit from Newegg.com almost a year ago. Best DDR2 for the money out there, in my opinion. It OC's to 1060 @ 5-5-5-15 before running into problems.

Cons: I see some have complained about GEIL support and rebates this year (2008)? It seems GEIL has eliminated its US branch. See this site: http://www.geilusa.com/support/technical_resources. My support and rebates had been excellent in the past, but I see things have changed since you have to get both from Taiwan now. I emailed them looking for more PC6400 (which they discontinued), and the broken-english reply came that it is no longer available in the US. They forwarded me to a manager, whom I could not understand at all. Support was frustrating and took a long time. I loved GEIL, but I can never buy their memory again knowing that I can't even get support that is reliable and English-speaking.

I cannot achieve advertised timings

Reviewed By: bamaboy on 6/21/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: A lot of ram for a fair price. Performs well at default timings.

Cons: I cannot achieve the advertised timings 4-4-4-12 on my system.

Other Thoughts: I have attempted all voltage settings from 1.95-2.3v at every available increment on my system. Biostar TA770 A2+. I still experience BSOD. When timings default no BSOD. PS is OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS with 4 x 12v rails and this is the 2nd brand 600W PS I have tried. Tried 2 different CPUs, 1st was AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ now Phenom 9850 BE. Tried 2 different Video Cards. 1st was EVGA GeForce 8600GT SCC now EVGA GeForce 8800GT Superclocked. Either the RAM is poor quality or just incompatible with my Mobo at advertised timings.
