Claimed speed of 1600

Reviewed By: on 11/28/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I ordered the same memory and noticed another reviewer having a problem with the speeds not reaching 1600. The problem is with that persons motherboard. It doesn't support 1600 speeds. Next time try ordering the correct product before giving a bad and misinformed review.

Cons: Too many people here who should not be touching computers or electronics who do, experience a problem, then rate a product incorrectly. One con of course would be the Intel motherboard which I would never purchase too.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Notice to all:

I see a lot of reviews claiming that one out of three sticks are bad and/or my board won't post with all three. The problem may not be your RAM but your motherboard. I had the same problem with the board not posting with all 3 modules installed.

I tried 3 different brands of RAM before I RMA'ed my motherboard. I have since got a replacement board and the RAM now works fine. Same board btw that I ordered originally (Gigabyte EX58 Extreme).

I have a feeling that the QC for the X58 chipset is not very good. Reading about a lot of problems when it comes to motherboards not posting when running a triple channel configuration.

Be prepared to have to RMA your motherboard... I did!

Cons: As for this particular RAM, it works perfect and runs as specified. No Cons!

Other Thoughts: Before you RMA your RAM try running your system in dual channel mode and swap modules in and out to see if you really have a bad sick. This will save you the trouble of having to RMA your motherboard when all is said and done.

Hope this users experience helps you.

Pros: Inexpensive, very stable. Not one isue whatsoever. clocks like it said without error works perfect with the new i7. First time purchase and I was skeptical as I usually only went with a couple different brands I am very brand loyal, but I am happy I tried this brand it works extremely well.

Cons: Wasn't free.

Other Thoughts: Highly recommended.
