Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear you had such issues. It is very strange the memory died. This memory kit is above standard, so please make sure to configure settings in BIOS/EFI. Without the proper memory configuration, it can cause the memory to corrupt over time. For this memory kit, DRAM Frequency, DRAM Timings, and DRAM Voltage need to be input. For certain motherboard and CPU combinations, you can enable the XMP/DOCP/EOCP performance profile. Depending on CPU, further tweaks may be necessary as not all CPUs can natively support DDR3-1600. For all further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly. The G.Skill support team will make sure the memory is working fast and reliable in your computer.

Thank you

Pros: I like the color. I got it on sale. It clocks correctly on my motherboard (ASRock 970) w/ FX-6300 CPU. No tweaking required. Runs STABLE! No weird memory dumps or blue screens at all (Windows 7 x64). Low height. Ram has gotten ridiculous with humongously tall heatsinks.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: I plan on buying another set to bring me up to 16GB on my system. Not dissapointed at all with this purchase.

Pros: Low profile heat sinks, 8 GB of great RAM for cheap.

Cons: None. My motherboard read it as CAS 11 but I think that's on the board. Manually set to 9-9-9-24 and all is good.

Other Thoughts: I've been using G.Skill for years and never have a problem.

Pros: Shiny heatsinks

orange :3

wasnt DOA

Easy install

Cons: My motherboard is stubid and wont let me set the RAM to 1600.

Other Thoughts: RAM is RAM. It works, its reliable, and would be 1600 if you dont have a stupid motherboard.

Pros: - fast
- looks good
- clocked correctly by my motherboard

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: great ram, and well worth the sale price.

Pros: how could it go wrong? works perfect

Cons: nothing at all

Other Thoughts: hello!

Pros: The one that works is great!

Cons: One of the sticks of RAM does not work. Although I bought it about a month ago, I just recently put it to use. One of the sticks is defective and does not work properly.
