G.Skill RMA Form|

Pros: DDR3 1066 - Very Fast
2x4GB - Dual Channel

Cons: DDR3 1066 - Not the fastest speed, but not a big deal

Other Thoughts: -Used with MSI B75A-G43 Intel Mobo (reviewed)
-Pentium Dual Core

Pros: Just plain works. Had no problem installing in my Asus P5 board.

Cons: Not free.

Pros: - Worked perfectly.
- Beautiful design

Cons: None, worked perfectly.

Other Thoughts: I bought 2 of these over a year ago. Haven't had a single issue. I have bought a lot of G.Skill products in the past and I am 100% satisfied with them. Would recommend G.Skill or this product to anyone!

Pros: I have these sticks running higher than stock speeds (forget which) with little to no increase in voltage. No stability issues and they do not get hot.

Trying to justify getting another set but I dont need more than 8gb

Cons: No cons, they work flawless.

Other Thoughts: $50 seems like a great price for a nice set of 4gb sticks.

Pros: I have been building PCs for over 15 years, and this is the first time I have received a bad memory module. All of my recent builds have had G.Skill memory - never had a problem. Both 4GB sticks worked for a week, and then one failed. I RMA'd the kit, and Newegg did an awesome job of shipping me a new memory kit. Hopefully the new ones will work better!

Cons: None.

Once you receive the new kit, it should work flawlessly in your system. This is one of our most popular plug and play memory kits, so you will not be disappointed.

Pros: Red heat-sinks look good. Good value for low latency memory, when it works.

Cons: Experienced random Windows 7 crashes every hour or so. Finally determined one module was bad by removing one at a time.

Other Thoughts: Tall heat-sinks may cause installation issues in smaller cases.

Dear Customer

Glad to hear you like the RipJaws heatspreaders. It is one of the most popular designs on NewEgg.com. This is a plug and play, low latency memory kit so it is a great value especially for the low price. It is strange a module went bad, but send it in for RMA exchange and a replacement should work flawlessly. All G.Skill memory kits are backed by a lifetime warranty. At any time a module is not working to specification, we can have it replaced immediately. The G.Skill RMA process is quick and hassle free, so you can receive new modules in a timely manner.

G.Skill RMA procedure|

Pros: Great ram, when working. I've known G.Skill to be a reliable brand for RAM. I've built 3 rigs prior to my current customer's rig, and I never had a problem...until now.

Cons: Bad stick=BSOD Land. After building, testing, failing, and disassembling, and rebuilding my client's build, and 2 resinstallations of Windows OS, I finally got the system stable after removing one of the DIMMS from the last kit I got. Took hours to narrow it down to the RAM, but then every BSOD was memory related. I wasn't a happy camper. Neither was my customer.

Dear Customer

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please send the memory in for RMA and a replacement should work better. To determine whether a memory module is bad, test each individually to see if one performs differently. When normal, they should perform the same. All G.Skill memory kits are backed by a lifetime warranty. At any time a module is not working properly, we can have it replaced with a new one. This memory kit is perfect for any DDR3 desktop that can support 4GB modules. Installation is as simple as plug and play, and the low timing will provide quick system. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.

Pros: -Inexpensive
-Dual channel setup works
-Performs as expected

Cons: -Performance is not the fastest, but that's to be expected with this RAM.

Other Thoughts: I use this for my backup setup that my kids use to play games/surf the net.

I would by G.Skill products again.

Pros: Pretty package

Cons: This memory would not work in my ASUS motherboard even though it is the memory recommended on the G.Skill website. I followed all the recommendations of the G.Skill tech support people to no avail. This was clearly a defective product. Newegg would not replace the memory because it was past the 30 day return period. This memory was bought as a Chrismas present for my son and was not even opened until the Newegg "Warranty" was useless. I'm not satisfied with Newegg or the G.Skill product they sell.

Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear you had such issues. Test one module at a time to see if you can get the system to boot. It is unlikely that two modules are completely dead, so it may be a defective motherboard. Once you get the defective part replaced, the system should work flawlessly. If the memory is defective, feel free to send it in for RMA exchange. All G.Skill memory modules are backed by a lifetime warranty, so we will be glad to replaced it. Here is the G.Skill RMA procedure: http://www.gskill.com/rma.php

For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly. We will make sure 8GB is working fast and stable in your computer.
