G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH

Pros: These are some high speed ram. Do note that these are mid tier profile ram and if you have an asus p8z77 v pro mb with a cm 212 evo CPU cooler. The fan haves to move up to fit these sticks

Cons: Had these sticks for about 3weeks. Starting to get serious Bsod. So I ran memtest that currently is 897 errors. Windows 7 memory test finds hardware issues. I have not isolated which of the 4 sticks are bad but I am rma'ing the whole set. But for those 3 weeks my machine was a monster

Other Thoughts: Cm haf 912 case
Asus p8z77 v pro mb
Core i7 3.4

Dear Customer

Glad to hear the memory was working well in your computer. This is a great memory kit as it will unleash the full performance of any high performance CPU on the market. When paired with the ASUS P8Z77 motherboard and Intel i7-3770K CPU, the build will be much faster than any pre-built computer one can buy. It is strange you are experiencing BSODs. Please send the memory in for RMA exchange and we will have a new kit sent to you immediately. Once you receive the new RAM, install it, enable XMP in BIOS/EFI, then everything will be ready to go. For any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you

G.Skill RMA procedure|

Pros: I got this to upgrade RAM for my Crosshair Formula mobo from G.skill DDR3 1600. Run virtualization and software RAID

Cons: none

Pros: It works, looks cool, runs fast and smooth.

Cons: none.

Pros: 1. Price was good for 16GB

2. Installed no issues on ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ Socket MoBo.

Cons: None. It is randomly accessing the things.

Other Thoughts: Would recommend to friends.

Pros: I put these into my new rig on an Intel DX79SR and they work perfect, except for initial boot problem. *See other thoughts* Got a 7.9 on windows experience index!

Cons: None these bad boys work fine!

Other Thoughts: Be sure to go through BIOS first and setting up the correct voltage/frequency settings as per you mobo's instruction, I got a BSOD on first boot with these because of an invalid setting, no big deal I should have known to do this before startup.

Pros: I've Put them in my MSI Z77A-G45. 7.8 score in Win 7.
Pretty performant.

Cons: no cons at all.

Pros: PC runs great w/ ASUS P8Z77, fit nicely

Cons: A little pricey.

Pros: Work great from the box on new build. 16GB in quad mode in LGA 2011 MB which are reported to be finicky (can't believe everything you read on the internet). Work great with specified timings and solid performance against benchmarks. Good looking units as well.

MB: Asus P9X79 Pro
CPU: i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E LGA 2011 (3.6Ghz)
Memory: G.Skill 16GB DDR3 PC3-16000
GPU: Nvidia GTX 480
Case: Cooler Master HAF Advanced

Cons: None

Pros: Came quickly, worked right outside the box, they also look really good on my asus pro/gen

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: Wish everything went this smooth

Pros: Great RAM, Never had any issues until lately.

Cons: Bought a second set to get me up to 32GB and after installing I got random crashes/freezes and also it causes my display driver to crash as well. Removed the new set and everything works good again.

Other Thoughts: I would be completely satisfied if the second set of ram did not crash my computer.

Dear Customer

Glad to hear the first kit works well in your system. For high performance RAM, you can not simply add another kit and expect the same speed and stability. Not only does the CPU not support DDR3-2133, you are attempting full slots, 8 modules, so that would surely overload the CPU memory controller. In addition the memory modules may not match well enough to operate at the rated specifications. This is why we must have 32GB and 64GB complete kits. If you purchase multiple memory kits to use ina single computer, you can encounter many problems. For further assistance with this, feel free to contact us directly. We can try to get two kits to work together, or you need to exchange for a 32GB kit that is pre-matched, tested, and guaranteed from factory.

Thank you
