This review is from: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9Q-32GXM
Pros:
Built my wife a mild gaming machine.
I chose G.Skills as my mentor (Carey Holzman) uses their memory more than any other on his customer builds.
Prior to ordering, I sent G.Skills a list of questions just to be sure their memory would work with the components I planned on using.
Less than 24 hrs later, G.Skills responded not only with the answers to my questions, but other tips and to assure me they would walk me through if any problem did occur.
There were no problems, but knowing I would have service after the sale was a biggie for me. I could not ask for more.
Cons:
None!!!
Overall Review:
IF...anyone reading this wants to know the components I chose to go along with the 32gb of G.Skills memory.
1. Gigabyte G1 Gaming GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0)
Overclocking the components - Not yet. Everything is set on default. Reason? My wife won't let me OC her system. She knows if something goes wrong that's a problem we created, not the fault of the components.
BTW, when I told G.Skills I wasn't going to OC, they told me I should and would guide me through the proper procedure to assure system stability. Still, my wife said NO!!
2. EVGA GeForce GT 740 02G-P4-3747-RX 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card.
My wife isn't a big gamer, YET. Will have to wait and see if that changes. Till then, this card will do OK.
3. Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 250gb SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal SSD.
4. Intel Core i7-4790K. Using the factory cooling fan.
5. Corsair CX750M PSU.
The rest...Samsung 27" monitor, Cooler Master HAF 912 case, LG DVD burner and a Star Tech multi-card reader.
As you can see, there's nothing fancy about her set-up.
Our #1 goal is stability over everything else. My wife has put it through it's paces and after approx 1 week, it's run flawlessly. No BSOD's or nagging error messages.
G.Skills is a big part of the "flawless" puzzle.
Bottom line...If I could do it all over again, G.Skills would remain my choice of memory.
