Horrible Decision

Pros: It was a good price at the time.

Cons: RAM worked at advertised speed for a couple weeks then windows 8 started having trouble starting. Did several tests and then my computer refused to POST at all. My ASUS board has the MemOK button on it so I decided to give it a try and it managed to get my POST screen back, but it would only POST at 1066MHZ and not 1600MHZ anymore. People might say that it just wasn't compatible with my board, but since it worked fine for awhile I doubt that was the case.

Overall Review: I RMAed the RAM and got a nice pair of G.Skill and haven't had any issues since then. I'd head the reviews here as I didn't and I ended up on the short end of the stick.
