Cursed by my own hubris

Pros: 2/4 sticks worked

Cons: 2/4 sticks didn't work

Overall Review: Oh, this is bad, this is really bad! You work, and you slave, and you steal just enough for a sweet lick of that shiny brass ring… don’t I get a lick? Doesn’t Gil get a lick? Did I need 32gb of ram? Probably not I flew too close to the sun. I have never run a system with more than 2 sticks and perhaps I'm predestined not to. I just thought maybe this was gonna be my time, WHEN IS IT GONNA BE MY TIME?!?!? How does this happen, where is the quality control? Why is a 50% fail rate acceptable? I've used Gskill for years and only ever purchased 2 sticks at a time with no issues. Why is there a trend of high fail rates among larger kits? Would you go to a restaurant if they only had a good track record with appetizers but then had a tendency to burn half of any full meal you ordered?

Not Neweggs fault

Pros: None

Cons: Bought this on sale and ended up losing about 98% of what I paid soon after on the RMA process. Arrived broken, and upon inspection it seemed due to the way it was packaged. It was in a box about twice its size and the only material used to fill the gap was One piece of packing paper. Newegg has never shipped anything like this from their warehouse so this negative review is aimed solely at the company newegg contracted to ship it to me. Black and Decker make great products but even they couldn't stand up under these conditions. In addition to the poor packing job the maker was missing parts that had broken off, so the other company clearly knew it was at least partly broken before it was repackaged and shipped.

Overall Review: Newegg and Black and Decker are great. After RMA'ing this maker I immediately bought the same model from a local walmart and it is flawless.
