Patriot Intel Extreme Master, Limited Edition 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model PVI38G160C9K

Pros: Looks fantastic.performs well however not enough memory after a month it's at 27% at idle.Get the 16gb or another brand.

Cons: I was gonna buy more but it was 49.99 a month ago now it's 61.00 not worth the price

Pros: Great looking set, love that the heatsinks are "reasonably" tall without looking fugly. Speedy and stable, they also stay very cool to the touch.

Cons: Running the XMP profile, these sticks will not pass a memtest (memtest locks up during the first or second pass), but will run prime95 and the Heaven benchmark for 24+ hours without a hiccup.

Pros: Worked right out of the box on my MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard at the rated 1600Mhz. Very stable and fast.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Will get another pair as soon as I get my income tax return!!

Pros: It was on sale.

Cons: I bought two 8 gig kits and all 4 sticks were junk. None would post at the rated 1600Mhz. After lowering the speed to 1333Mhz the computer would post but give me BSOD. Tried on another motherboard and could not even get it to post at 1333Mhz.

Other Thoughts: After reading all the reviews of this memory, I thought it was a slam dunk purchase. And what are the odds that both kits would be bad. I just know that I will stick with G.Skill or Corsair from now on.

Pros: Pretty, only at 1600mhz. Nothing crazy! Just stable.

Cons: non

Pros: Was on sale, attractive heat spreaders and passes Memtest

Cons: Caused crashes and system instability in a brand new PC with Asus MB and Intel i3. Replaced with my usual brand RAM of the same specifications and the system has been happy since.

Other Thoughts: Not sure why it will pass Memtest 4.2 for hours on end in the same system that it crashes under windows. Just goes to show that synthetic tests can never duplicate the real world.

Pros: PERFECT - Worked right out of the box, no issues, no crashes and tested without errors for 48 hours.

I purchased 2 sets of these for my new core i5 setup. Amazing RAM, buy without worrying :)

Cons: What cons?

Pros: really fast and easy to over clock. looks nice in the case and doesnt heat up. great cooling

Cons: non

Pros: - Works

Seriously, it's common sense here. It's RAM, either it works or it doesn't. Everything checks out in BIOS and such, timings are right, everything's good. Also I got it on black friday sales for about $25, so...

Cons: - It isn't free.

Other Thoughts: It's RAM. Seriously.

Pros: Works great. Easily overclocked with an ASUS P8z77-v LK motherboard, if you want to do so. Also, this motherboard recognizes the RAM instantly, so there is not any compatibility issues. Aesthetically the blue color goes well with an ASUS P8z77 motherboard. I really like the LIFETIME warranty too!

Cons: None that I've seen. Its good to see a company these days that actually backs their product with a LIFETIME warranty.
