G.Skill Never Fails with Memory

- The color scheme and heat-spreaders make it look baller in a blue themed case or a blue themed motherboard. Great aesthetics.
- 8GB RAM is enough for any gamer. Get more, or order two of these, if you use RAM intensive programs.
- Reliable. Has never failed.
- I have another pair of G.Skill, but they are Sniper Series, and both sets work above expectation.
- I have overclocked these to 2133 and no problems. Runs great and at a 7.9 in WEI.
- Fast.

N/A

I have bought many G.Skill memory products, and as of right now, if it comes to memory, I buy G.Skill.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Something changed

I bought my first pair of 4gbx2 years ago. it has been super stable with no problems whatsoever.

i read other reviews where people still buy this ram. I decided to double up on my ram, so i bought another 4x2. this should be the exact same specs. the first pair i got, i kept getting bsod and my games would freeze and crash. i tested it by taking out my old ram and putting in the new one.

i RMA'd for a second pair. while I was waiting for the RMA, my system was stable, and no game crashes. after receiving the new pair, i stick them in and lo and behold.... my games freeze and crash. although these should be the exact same, something changed with how these are made from 4 years ago and now. i'm about to just ask for a refund. the only other way is to go with all new ram which shouldn't be necessary in the first place. i really wanted the same ram to work together, too...
