This review is from: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
Pros:
...do I buy G.SKILL. I play Left 4 Dead 2 and either Steam has pushed out a great update or this ram has made a noticeable improvement in how well my system runs it. Ran nicely with Kingston Hyper X but not near as well as with this ram. One thing I would suggest is to buy 2 sticks of 8GB if you plan on running it at 1866Mhz (AMD FX CPU). Found out the hard way that FX processors will only support 2 sticks of ram at 1866Mhz. I bought 2 4GB sticks, loved them so much I ordered 2 more and then, boot failure. Not the rams fault, but after research I came to find out about the limitation. Sent an email to GSKILL and within HOURS they replied confirming the limitation and answering my questions concerning using it on a motherboard with a Phenom II. I stuck the other 2 sticks in it the Phenom II rig and it set up to 1333Mhz (fastest stock speed for that processer) and it kills.
Cons:
Stay up too late helping zombies reach a better tomorrow.
Overall Review:
If you plan on installing it with a FX CPU and running it at 1866, remember the 2 slot limitation.
