G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBNT

Pros: Excellent quality and reliability
Good performance
Matches the color scheme for my computer
Excellent shipping time

Cons: The dramatic price increase
No heat spreaders "RAM Sinks"

Other Thoughts: For my AMD FX-4100 I should have used DDR3-1866 memory instead for optimal performance. For now this will do nicely and I plan on buying G.SKILL memory in the future.

Pros: Still working
Ran Memtest for about 6 hrs with no errors then I just didnt care anymore
does what it was intended
Good price when I got it around $33

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Probably didnt need the 8 gigs for my parents office/everyday use build but it was cheap at the point I got it so no complaints

Pros: run at cas 7-7-7-20 1333 in my intel board
seems to perform very well

Cons: no heatspreader

Other Thoughts: figured for $60 they would have heatspreaders, however this ram more then makes up for that by running faster then advertised

Pros: Good speed, low cost, runs at the specs stated..

Cons: None, so far..

Other Thoughts: Got the chips to expand an older board to it's maximum..

Pros: No problem with this ram even with overclocked 3.6ghz to 4.1ghz CPU. I would buy it again, passes 2 ram test I performed, no issues whatsoever and a really good deal.

Cons: none

Pros: Somewhat cheap...

Cons: Not reliable. After less than one year of use (and I only have the PC on while I am using it, less than a few hours a day) I started to get nasty blue screens of death and hard shut downs right after power on. After lots of trouble shooting I found that the sticks won't work together, and one slows the system way down when compared to the other. Very disappointing. I hope my case is rare, but I know that I wont be buying from G.SKILL any more.

G.Skill RMA procedure|

Pros: works great
nice value

Cons: none

Pros: -It does not have a heat spreader so it was much easier to install a universal water cooling heat spreader
-Cheap but good RAM
-Bought G.Skill RAM in the past and I'm very satisfied with them so far
-Went from 1333 to 2000 pretty easily

Cons: None. This RAM is perfect for what I need

Other Thoughts: I managed to get a stable overclock at 2000 MHz but you could take further than that if you wanted. I used an XSPC Universal water cooling kit to cool it

Pros: Easy to install and very cheap (I bought these sticks for $38).

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I've had these for about 9 months now and they're working steadily.

Pros: Price
Profile

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Put 2x4 Gb in my new build with a i5-3570k on an Intel DH67BLB3 board and they seem to work great. Low profile enough not to cause any issues on my Micro ATX build in a small tower.
