G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBXL

Pros: Cheap Ram...

Cons: The ram is double sided, my BIOS will only recognize one side of the ram, I verfied it was the ram by placing it into other systems I had open, and placing a different brand of ram into the system this G.SKILL ram was being use with. I determined the ram was bad and RMA'd it. The ram I received has the same problem.

Other Thoughts: Foxconn H61MXV

Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear you are having issues. This memory should be plug and play, so it is strange you are having problems. Double check you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard. It is unlikely that two kits, 4 modules, are completely dead, so it may be a compatibility issue. If you are certain the motherboard is not defective, feel free to exchange this kit with another model to see if it may work better. The G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-4GBNS is a single sided memory module, so it may work better for this particular motherboard. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you

Pros: -lower profile, compared to many other kinds of memory
-Gigabyte 970a-ud3 board seems to have configured it right automatically, I didn't do anything to the timings etc.
-life time warranty

Cons: Still a bit flashier than I would sometimes like (I like the plainer looking components usually), but they're smaller, and they're red, and I like red.

Other Thoughts: Only been running it for about a week and a half, usually memory comes dead right away, or your good to go for a long time. If problems arise in the near future, I will certainly add another review.

7.5 WEI if anyone cares to know, running a real bench mark on RAM is a waste of time, it's RAM it works right or it doesn't.

Pros: Inexpensive, performs as expected

Cons: hasn't cured cancer yet

Other Thoughts: I used this memory as an upgrade in an Intel board, which can be a bit picky with RAM. It was detected and fired up first time and I have had no issues in my, albeit short, period of ownership.

Pros: I've ordered about 15 sets of these for customer builds and every single set worked perfectly. They configure perfectly and I've never seen wrong timings.

Cons: The CL8 set isn't great but the CL7 set is SO much faster than this set for not a lot more money. If you have a few more bucks, definitely get it instead.

Other Thoughts: No need to turn on XMP profiles on your board with this set. It runs at the very top allowed timing in the JEDEC standards and every board I've put it in recognizes the timings properly.

Pros: These sticks do what they're suppossed to do, and do it well with no issues.

Cons: These are the second pair I ordered, and they were for a friend's build. Sadly they came with green PCB this time instead of black. So he wants me to send them back and re-order them to try and get a black PCB set. >_>

Pros: -Cheap
-Decent Heatsink Spreaders for the money

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Timings and voltage as listed. Worked Flawless

Rosewill Challenger Case
Rosewill 80 plus green series 630W
Asrock H77M
Core i3 2100
4GB Ripjaws
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD
EVGA GTX 480
Lite-On Blu Ray burner

Pros: - Inexpensive.
- Nice look when inside case.
- Plug 'n' Play.

Cons: - None

Other Thoughts: I had to order another set due to one of my sticks from the original set being DOA, which caused my PC to boot incorrectly and at some points, not boot at all. Didn't send it back since I am enjoying the 6 GB of RAM right now.

My only thought is for G.Skill to make the sticks available as singles as well.

Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Glad to hear the memory looks nice in your case. This is one of our most popular kits as it is plug and play installation with good performance results. Unfortunately, memory is typically sold in pairs as multichannel motherboards require a matched set. This insures maximum performance and stability. Once you receive the replacement, you should have no issues. For any further questions, please feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you

Pros: -It was cheap
-It performs it's purpose without any noticeable hiccups
-I really liked the design of the sticks.

Cons: None, really.

Other Thoughts: I think this may be more of a personal qualm than anything else. When I purchased the product, I found the packaging to be a little... confusing. It was advertised as 4GB, and naturally I assumed that each stick was 4GB. Had I read a little better, I would've known what I was purchasing better (which I blame myself for). But for that reason I give it 4 eggs instead of 5.

Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Glad to hear you like the design of the heat spreaders, and the memory is working well in your system. This is one of our most popular kits as it provides plug and play performance. BIOS/EFI configuration is not necessary as most DDR3 motherboards should automatically detect the memory properly. So if you would like to avoid inputting settings for the memory, this is the kit for you. We apologize for the confusion. The capacity shown in the model number is for the entire kit. So a 4GB kit of two modules will be 2GB each; a 4GB kit of one module would be 4GB each. Should you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you

Pros: Ram overclocks great! running 1333 @ almost 1800 with stock timings.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: i5-3570k is what is paired with it. Runs great!

Pros: As expected, works flawlessly out of the box. So glad I have made the transition to G. Skill for all my memory needs these days. In the last 8 builds I have only used G. Skill with zero issue!

Cons: z-e-r-o
