G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

Pros: Fast, Ran at the Advertised speed of 1600. Using 3 sticks on a ASUS P8Z77-V LGA board. The CPU heatsink blocks one of the slots but not G.SKILL's fault on that. XMP loads right up with no issue. Scores a healthy 7.5 on windows Index.

Highly Recommend

Cons: None Whatsoever.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Wish I would have bought some more for my system.
haha

Pros: I like it.

Cons: Nada

Other Thoughts: I wonder if I should buy more....

Pros: This ram looks pretty darn cool. As far as performance goes, both sticks work great and had no errors after 7 hours of prime95 testing.

Cons: I had to go into the bios to change the timings to what they're rated at.

Other Thoughts: This is good ram for the price.

Pros: Fast, ran at advertised speeds/voltage, XMP profile loaded right up.

Cons: none

Pros: Second lot of this ram. Unfortunately my liquid cooling blocks a slot, and so I am unable to install with other set.
It works like a charm.
Great price on Newegg.
CL8 is nice and fast.
Blue looks great from above or the side.
XMP makes for an easy setup at full speed.

Cons: None.
Cool Packaging????

Other Thoughts: I really do love the quality of G.SKill.
The RipJaws X and Sniper series are excellent.
Glad to get away from the Corsair brand. Their memory is good, warranty is not that of G.Skill and their colors/design??? No where near as good G.Skill
Great for gaming and designing/modding games.

Pros: Bought it on sale, good price, fast, no problems with most of the sticks I have bought. Out of around 50+ sticks of ram, only one has failed. See below...

Cons: Had one stick fail on me. However, I got a replacement shipped back to me after sending the faulty one to GSKILL. I believe it took about 2 weeks total. Tested 100%. Worked like a charm. Painless.

Other Thoughts: I've been using this brand of memory for most of the builds for years. Great warranty, great quality, great service.

Pros: <<< Looks >>>

Awesome heat-sink design. The pitch dark color of logic board itself looks great as the backdrop to the blue metal encasement (heat-sink).

<<< Performance >>>

Stable on normal and OC'd environments. Operating under non-OC'd conditions in JEDEC#6 with system-modded timings of 11-11-11-28, as of this review.

Other Thoughts: Highly recommend this product!

Pros: great looking, performs great when its working,

Cons: Went bad in less then a year

Other Thoughts: I have 2 sets of this memory, My first set is from my original build and they are still working strong. This last set I bought to upgrade to 16gb went bad in less then a year. Bought them in July of 2012 so no way of RMA. Unless there is some other way to get these replaced I might just have to buy another set even though I'm sort of worried they will go bad as well

Dear Customer

Don't worry! You purchased G.Skill so you are backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty! At any time G.Skill memory is unstable or causes problems, you can send them in for RMA exchange and get a new kit. Visit the official G.Skill website for complete RMA procedure. This is a high performance memory kit, so you should be very pleased with the result. With 16GB of DDR3-1600 CL8, your computer will be capable of anything you put it to.

Pros: It works! My ASUS MB saw it as 1600 right off the bat and no problems at all. With a CAS Latency of 8 it's the fastest at this price point.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I wish I could have gotten 2 sets!
