Rating + 4 follow up review


Pros: This is a follow up review from my previous one (1/29/2010). Replacement set of RAM works fine after extensive testing with memtest86. Nice to know that even after newegg's return policy is over, i can still get support through g.skill, although i haven't had the chance to use them yet. But from the reviews where they've had to use them, it seems easy to use. Both Newegg and G.Skill were very responsive and that's a good sign of customer service.

Cons: Nobody likes getting DOA and/or defective merchandise, but that's the way of life. Know the proper procedures for repair/replacement and be done with it.

Other Thoughts: If I had waited another week, I could've gotten an i3 setup insead of c2d for roughly the same price, but I'm not complaining. It's for my wife. Sims 3 and Photoshop will probably be the biggest cpu load on this box.

Rating + 3 Recently received two bad kits


Pros: Originally bought 2 kits a couple years ago for two new builds. I was thrilled with the results. Popped right in and work with two different motherboards and never a problem since install. Then came a recent upgrade with a new kit...

Cons: Recently upgrade one box to 64-bit Win 7. Bought another kit to upgrade to 8GB total. First kit would not post on install. I didn't test each stick individually, just RMA'd for another very smooth New Egg return. The replacement kit installed and booted with no problem. But two weeks later one of the new sticks failed.

Other Thoughts: I'll be trying the G.skill RMA process for the first time to replace the failed stick. Will review here my impressions. After being thrilled with this product a couple years ago, I have to admit my opinion has been tarnished under my recent troubles. Perhaps G,skill can mount a save with impressive trouble free and low stress warranty replacement.

Pros: Reasonable price and G.Skill reputation

Cons: Unfortunately I ram memtest against the memeory and after several passes it had a failure. I noticed the DIMMs run warm and mayeb the heat spreader is not doing an effective job.

Other Thoughts: NewEgg rocks with easy fast RMA process and we'll see if the secodn set is better. Fortunatley I have some spare RMA to use until this gets replaced.

Pros: - Highly compatible

Cons: - Still cost too much

Other Thoughts: As usual, Gskill has done it again! I have built around 25 computers last year, each of which I used G.Skill RAM and have had no issues WHATSOEVER!! My only dissapointment is that the last 3 packages I have received, no longer contain the cool little G.Skill sticker logo that I am used to attaching to all the PC cases...

Pros: Pop this stuff in and your good to go. This stuff has the right timings, and the correct voltage to boot on any modern board. If you looking for compatibility this is the stuff.

Cons: Heat spreaders are small, not sure as thats a con tho, because these dont get hot!

Pros: Installed easily and my board (Gigabyte G41-ES2L) and Win7 x64 recognized it right away. Got 5.9 as Windows experience score.

Cons: Unfortunately, after the OS was installed, I got a bad pool header error after an update was installed. tested with memtest86+ and got multiple errors. Sending it back first thing on Monday. I'm only giving it two eggs because of my experience with it, seeing as so many people have not had issues.

Rating + 4 Poor packing, but otherwise good


Pros: - Good product reputation
- Good heat spreaders

Cons: - Packing materials: It's been about 2 yrs since I bought memory, but when I've purchased it in the past (from other manufacturers), it has been sent to me fully enveloped in bubble packing. This was not cushioned by the manufacturer or by Newegg in any way, which surprised me.

Other Thoughts: It seems difficult to find low latency memory (less than 5) and since the faster speeds of RAM (1066 and up) usually have a latency >6, it doesn't seem like any huge advantage to upgrade to a higher speed than 800MHz, since the latency also goes up. To me, DDR2 800 is the way to go and it's priced affordably right now.
Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. We are sorry to hear you did not receive it in good packaging, hopefully it was simply a one time mistake.

You are right in that DDR2 800 is the best performance for the price. DDR2-800 CL5 is the equivalent of DDR2-1066 CL6, but more important than frequency and timings is the voltage. Our DDR2-800 mostly need 1.80V-1.90V while DDR2-1066 typically requires 2.0V-2.10V. The difference is voltage is significant as it produces a tremendous amount of extra stress on the memory controller and could possibly reduce performance. Consequently, many times DDR2-800 may perform faster than DDR2-1066.

Thank you

Rating + 5 Great Buy


Pros: Fantastic Value when I purchased it for 65.00. I Bought an AM3 MB that took DDR2 because at the time it was still cheaper than moving to DDR3. Now that may not be the case, but the memory performs like a champ. 4 gbs seems to be a great amount of memory for running day-to-day tasks, music, videos, multiple applications (not Photoshop, Dreamweaver and video encoding at the same time or anything, but normal usage). I can encode an AVI for burning to DVD, listien to music, flip through the web and have Steam up and running without any major slow-down. In fact, right now I've got Steam (friend chat up too), Zune player, Google Chrome, a couple small apps, Antivirus, Firewall software, system monitors etc. all running and I'm only at 34% usage for memory. Comes with decent Heatsinks too, stays cool in a good case. Not a single issue with the MB picking it up and recognizing the timings either. GSkill has made a decent rep for itself lately. Pop it in, boot up and start enjoying it!

Cons: A bit pricey now. If you need DDR2 memory (Like I would for this MB) this is definitely the memory to get, but if you can spend a bit more to switch to DDR3 you might as well. Prices can only fall for it now that the industry is swinging in that direction, and you don't want to limit yourself to older, hard to find memory down the road.

Other Thoughts: Antec 300 Illusion case

No overclocking.
TF2 - Everything maxed @ 1080: 106fps average
L4D2 - Everything maxed @ 1080: 60fps average

Runs Crysis Wars @ 1300 or so on "good quality" settings smoothly. Runs Section 8 just dandy, Hawx will run at 16x9 smoothly, even in dogfights, and of course it'll beat the snot out of BF2 (waiting for BF: Bad Company 2 to drop!!!).

This rig will also encode an hour+ AVI for DVD format (audio/video_ts folders/files) @standard-def in about 20 minutes. 25 and you've got a dvd-player ready disc.

Pros: Nice looking. runs smooth no errors. running at 5.5.5.15 1.9v
plays well with my other memory for a total of 8 gigs. best memory at a descent price.

Cons: price was ok but was cheaper a few months back. but that's how it goes in supply and demand. Sorta like gas prices. Not G.Skills fault.

Other Thoughts: Don't think you can over clock this by much but thats not why i bought it. G.Skill you have a new fan. Also i hear all about the great Tech Support.
Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Glad to hear the memory package you purchased works great with your other memory. With 8GB, your computer memory should not be the cause of any delays/lag.

Regarding pricing, we wish pricing was lower as well, but unfortunately many electronics use the same IC chips in memory, so prices have gone up quite a bit. Hopefully in the near future the prices will come back down.

Pros: none so far

Cons: Bought 4GB PC2_6400 for my Dell XPS 710.

The PC came with 1GB PC2_5300. Dell offered the PC2_6400 as an upgrade so thought the higher 'speed' would be ok.

After installation (new RAM only - did not mix old PC2_5300) - the PC booted up normally, but would reboot intermittently for no apparent reason.

Other Thoughts: Please advise thoughts as otherwise will need to return memory for PCs_5300?

Pros: GSkill knows its business making ram for gamers. Whether it's for every day computing or gaming, you won't go wrong. I put the memory in and I noticed the difference in the pick-up right-off. Hats off to GSkill, and hats off to New Egg for selling top products.

Cons: The only con was that the first 2 sticks were dead, which was the first time that happened to me. I think after a while you have to expect to get a dud now and then. That's life, deal with it. well, New Egg did deal with it and sent off 2 more sticks without any problems. Those two fired up right off, and I was gamin with 8 gigs firing.

Rating + 5 Excellent


Pros: My CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 250 @3600MHz
My mobo: ASUS M3N78 Pro
I put this kit in one channel, and a 2GB (2x1GB) kit of Wintec AMPX 3AXT6400C4 in the other channel (BIOS is reporting dual-channel mode), used BIOS to set the RAM frequency to 480MHz (DDR2-960), and ran a "Cache & Memory" benchmark with Everest:
Memory Read speed: ~8544MB/s
Memory Latency: ~50.9ns
These are almost the exact same numbers I got with this G.Skill running by itself (~50.1ns), so I'm guessing it's ok to mix these two kits _on_ _my_ _mobo_.
I guess it's ok to mix module sizes without impacting dual-channel mode, as long as each CHANNEL has a matched-size pair.
I used Ramdisk to put all the RAM that Win XP 32 bit doesn't use (XP 32 bit only uses 3.6GB) on a ramdisk, and put my pagefile on the ramdisk -- effectively giving me ~6GB of RAM in XP 32 bit!
Win 7 x64 works.
I am EXTREMELY happy with this purchase!
Heat spreaders are skinnier (allow more room between adjacent sticks) than my old RAM -- good for

Cons: Are you kidding?

Other Thoughts: Here's the SPD tables as reported by Thaiphoon Burner:

I can't set timings on this mobo.
With BOTH the G.Skill and the Wintec kits installed, CPU-Z reports my current timings as:

I think I'll go UPS next time because of their tracking number update frequency/promptness.
Now I can game with 50 tabs open in my web browser.

Pros: They work exactly like intended. I the same set of Gskill over a year ago and just added another 4 GB to my computer of the same RAM. So for over a year they have been performing awesome and now have added even more edge to my machine.

Cons: Even though they are not the cheapest they still outperform everything I see everyone else with.

Cons: This is great for 4GB I am not sure about going to 8GB

Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear you are having an issue with your G.Skill memory package. When using 4 sticks (8GB), it may overload the memory controller on the motherboard thus causing instability. Try raising the NB Voltage to 1.40V and that should stabilize the system. If you continue to have issues, simply contact our technical support department and they will be able to assist you.

Thank you

Pros: Good Ram. Both sticks worked out of the box and survived 8 hours each of Memtest86. Both sticks were recognized in the BIOS with the right settings (thankfully! since i have a Dell and can't change power settings, voltage and what not). Once I can I'm going to grab another set of these for a total of 8gigs.

The design on the heat sinks makes for a nice looking addition to my motherboard.

Cons: Not really a con, but mine didn't come with a Gskill sticker to put on my case =(.

Pros: 4 gigs finally with respectable speeds for a decent price. This memory is installed in a gigabyte p35dsl if I recall. The memory was installed and booted right up . Using the memory with windows 7 premium 64 bit and recognizes the 4 gigs makes everything run smooth

Cons: A little pricey compared to what prices were but not their fault.I would love to see in more colors and tighter timings but this memory has been running fine.

Other Thoughts: If you are waiting don't bother with windows 7 this runs much smoother. Q6600 overclocked to 3.51 memory is at only 780 so haven't tried overclocking it yet

Rating + 5 didnt seem to like vista 64


Pros: drop them in and go! bios recognizes them right at the start. this is the 4th set of g.skill modules i've purchased over the past 3-4 years and i don't think i'll buy another brand again. Have had NO DOA modules, and everything i've bought is still running after a few years of heavy use. after reading the reviews i'm tempted to run these at 4-4-4-12 @1.9v. my mobo allows me to OC the processor while keeping the ram frequency down near the 800 level (these can be moderately oc'd past 800, but not past 1000).

Cons: started getting hangups and stalls after i made the switch to vista 64. i even stopped overclocking and tried running everything at stock speeds. all tests came back clean so all components were in proper working order. i even tried the old tech support favorite "unplug everything and plug it back in". nothing helped. so i turned back to good old xp pro and everything is rock solid. way faster too. will probably stay that way until i can get windows 7.

Other Thoughts: had never heard of g.skill when building my first PC 4 years back. bought 4 1gb sticks to max out my asus board 4 years ago. that machine is still running great (i popped it into an antec 900 case and gave it to a friend, it just needs a new cpu fan, so glad newegg still carries socket 939 fans). point is, this is a solid RAM company. if i had the money i'd make the leap to DDR3. also, despite the increase in RAM prices, these are still noticeably cheaper than other brands.

Pros: I spent the extra few bucks that G.Skill was above some other high-rated memory because of their customer service. Luckily I didn't need to contact them - it came out fine!

Cons: One edge of the heatspreader was a little bit sharp. Oops! No blood on my parts, at least.

Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Unfortunately the increase in pricing, is due to the global supply and demand of memory IC chips. The recent uptrend has caused our costs to nearly double, which is why it has reflected on to consumers. Hopefully prices will drop in the near future and allow DDR2 to be more affordable.

I had Kingston hyperX ram that never ran correctly at the false advertising speeds of 1066, I replaced it with these chips went from 4GB to 8GB in windows 7 and saw a major performance increase.. Stop being scared and max out your board with this ram.

Rating + 3 Was great memory


Pros: Great memory for 32 bit operations and OSs. I was dual booting XP as well as Ubuntu ( Intrepid Ibex as well as Jaunty Jackalope), both 32bit. Memory performed smooth as silk, was fast as lightning, and ran decently cool.

Cons: Upgraded to windows 7 64bit and one stick decided it didn't like the 64bit OSs. I'm now dual booting 7 and Karmic Koala (64bit) and the "temperamental" chip fails in both, yet still runs just fine in my 32bit second system running 32bit XP. Very strange.

Other Thoughts: G.Skill has lifetime warranty so I will eventually RMA to them and give their customer support a try. All in all, I have been happy with the company as a whole though. This is the first stick from them that I've had issues with.

Pros: I purchased this ram early summer 09. No complaints, great product and no issues.
Good heatsinks, solid product.

Cons: Price!
I purchased on 6/17/2009 for $46.99. What's up with the price increase???? Now it's $83!

Pros: Excellent speed and performance rates.

Cons: Ended up being 3.3gb RAM

Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Glad to hear the memory package is working smoothly on your system. The reason why it may be showing only 3.3GB of memory is because you are using a 32 bit Windows Operating System. Once you upgrade to a 64 bit, the computer will then be able to read 3.5GB and above. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know.

Thank you

Rating + 5 Good stuff


Pros: Looks fantastic, make sure you have a friend there to watch you install. It's kinda satisfying to have that wow factor from someone before you close the case.

These chips didn't give me any problems whatsoever. Installed CPU, this RAM (tight fit but got it in) and the OS. The computer rated these G-Skills at a 5.9. My VAIO Z series laptop with DDR3 gets 5.9. I'm impressed.

Cons: None so far....

Other Thoughts: Running on Windows 7 Professional x64 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with an Intel Q9400. I can't say anything about overclocking.

I really like getting stuff from up-and-coming companies that are putting out good product. G-Skill got me hooked. When I get some dough, I will be cranking this baby up to 8GB and finishing off the two empty slots with the same G-skills.

Rating + 5 Plays Nice With G.Skill 2 x 1GB


Pros: Completely plug and play with existing G.Skill 2 x 1GB DDR2 800 overclocked to 960 Mhz. Existing configuration was rock solid for 8+ months, and so far 6 gigs is just as stable, as I expect it to remain for the life of my system. This is also with a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L, not exactly an overclocker's board.

I used to fancy another brand's platinum mirror finish, but G.Skill's satiny sparkly colored heat spreaders are glamor charm-pretty. The blue of the 2x2 feels like a step up from the 2x1 red.

Cons: Price. I made my first DDR2 purchase right before prices dropped and my second right after they skyrocketed. But that's my fault for not paying attention to the RAM market; crummy as it is for DDR2, Newegg is still the place to go. Believe me, I looked elsewhere. It's all tumbleweed out there.

Other Thoughts: A while back I temporarily replaced the G.Skill 2x1 GB kit with a faster, "extreme" kit from someone else. Overclocks were highly unstable, and then the sticks failed. G.Skill is now my go-to brand for RAM.

Making use of excess/unmanaged RAM in my x86-32 system with eBoostr--now I've got a ~2.5 GB page file that positively flies.

Cons: I have about a 10% DOA rate with this memory brand overall.

Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase. All G.Skill products are throughly tested before placed in inventory. We also randomly select memory throughout the inventory to insure that Quality Control is up to par. Unfortunately, even with the thorough checks, DOA still occurs. We continue to improve our Quality Control and hopefully as we strive arduously on a daily basis to reduce these defects, it will save many customers the hassle and inconvenience.

Thank you for your input

Rating + 5 Low price, stable


Pros: At the price I paid and free shipping I am very happy. Delivered ~24 hours after ordering (thanks newegg!).
Extensive memtest86+ and mprime large/mixed FFT testing indicates no flaws, and perfect stability.

Running dual channel at 450 MHz (DDR2 900), 3-3-7 timings. Cool and stable. Have not tried any other timing or clock.

Cons: None. Yet another great performance from some G. Skill RAM.

Other Thoughts: You could spend the extra $15 for 2x2GB 533MHz DDR2, but if you are getting a new motherboard you might as well get a DDR3 setup.

Great for an upgrade to an old system, or (if you are like me) to have multiple systems with interchangeable components for future repairs/troubleshooting. I like that if my desktop memory dies, my HTPC can now loan it 2GB.

Pros: Nice while they work.

Cons: On my 3rd RMA between 2 of these kits. Same story each time - random blue screens (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT) followed by failing the memtest.

Other Thoughts: Time to try a different brand.
Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear you continue to have an issue with your memory package. After physically installing memory, please make sure to properly configure memory settings in BIOS otherwise the motherboard may be operating the memory with incorrect settings causing it to go bad over time. Memory frequency should be set to DDR2-800. Memory Timings tCL 4 - tRCD 4 - tRP 4 - tRAS 12 - Command Rate 2. Memory voltage should be set to 1.90V. After these changes, the memory should be stable at all times. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than glad to assist you.

Thank you

Rating + 4 good stable product


Pros: good stable memory, this is my third g skill purchase, i would definitely buy g. skill memory again. not as fast as their DDR2-1066 but is compatible with it at 800 mhz. excellent clock timings for older machines (533, 667, 800 mhz).

Cons: expensive... i paid over twice what my 1066 cost this summer, ouch!

Other Thoughts: great stuff! g skill shines yet again!
Manufacturer Response:.
Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. In order to match DDR2-1066 CL5 speed, you would need to have a DDR2-800 CL4 memory package. The memory package you purchased has a CAS Latency of 5 so it is slightly slower, but like you said, still great for older machines. If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to let us know.

Thank you

Rating + 5 Second Purchase


Pros: Cool, stable, works; what more can you ask for? Board recognized timings as advertised on first boot.

Picked up the first 4GB set a year ago for the original build and had no problems. Bought second pair to fill the empty slots on my board.

I was concerned at first because GSkill is supposed to a low buck performance memory, seemed like an oxy-moron to me. However, after this build I think I'll save some money and buy GSkill again rather than paying more for other name brands.

Cons: Refuses to walk the dog.

Other Thoughts: Modest MMO gamer box. Duel Core 2, Asus MB that is used for everything, work and play. Not over-clocked, stability is more important than that last once of performance in this build.

Pros: Great sticks, work well, no problems.

Cons: Overclocking my Q6600 2.4 GHz to 3.0 GHz requires me to lower my DDR to maintain at 800 MHz or less or else it will cause instability, but that's not much of a con.

Other Thoughts: I've purchased 2 sets of these sticks and they have both worked great with no errors to date.

Pros: This RAM over clocks fairly well. On stock clock it runs very stable and is extremely fast. Over clocking at times it can get unstable depending on what your other hardware is but for the most part its fine for over clocking. Its very fast, very cheep, and I love it. Did I mention its pretty?

Cons: I cant say that I have any. It seems to run perfectly fine, its passed every test I can throw at it.
