5 out of 5 eggsRuns as advertised

Pros: I bought this DDR3 1600 (2X4GB) RAM for an HTPC build using a ASRock 960GM/uss3 mobo, a retail AMD FX6300 CPU and a recycled low profile Radeon HD 4650 GPU. This RAM booted up as DDR3 1600 at 1.5 volts, exactly what I wanted.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Works as advertised. Heat spreader color didn't enter into my buying requirements. I have used G.Skill ram in previous builds and have never experienced any problems whatsoever.

5 out of 5 eggsG.Skill #1

Pros: What can I say, G.Skill is trusted and reliable company when it comes to ram. Worked right out of the box with no problem and it looks sexy as hell! Fit nice and neatly under the Noctua NH-D14 and its low profile.

Cons: None whatsoever

5 out of 5 eggsStable - good performance

Pros: Stable, trouble-free memory. The “Write Review” link I clicked on to do this review was from a Nov 2013 purchase, which was the 1st of 6 sets of 8GB Ares that I have bought. Two of them are recent purchases that have yet to be installed, with one of them 1866MHz while all the others were 1600’s.
For each install I’ve done nothing more than insert them into their slots and check to see if they are running at the advertised speeds. In every case no bios adjustments have been necessary.

Good performance. I’ve used all the familiar brands and these sticks have among the highest WEI ratings. Although I take those ratings with a grain of salt I’d rather see them than not.

Compact. Although not low enough to be classified as ‘low profile’ they are relatively compact compared to most. I used 3rd party heat sync with one set that had those fins that stick out and the ARES fit right under them.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I used Asus boards in $50-$90 range for all installs (I do use other brands but more Asus than others for past year). CPU's were:

Intel Pentium G3220
AMD A10-5800K
Intel i3-4130
Intel i5-4590
