Most Favorable Review

It works...

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

Pros: Shiny blue heat spreaders sure look purdy

Cons: little pricy, and I regret buying an ASUS motherboard

Overall Review: I bought this memory explicitly because the according to the documentation for my motherboard this memory was listed as compatible @1066MHZ among other boasts that this board won't deliver on. I can say that I don't see anything wrong with the memory itself, seems stable, and more importantly it works

Most Critical Review

Never had a ram module fail before

G.SKILL FORTIS (for AMD) 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C16D-16GFT
G.SKILL FORTIS (for AMD) 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C16D-16GFT

Pros: Only one of the two died.... can still use my PC! The sticker looks like a real heat spreader.... got me!

Cons: The heat spreader is actually a sticker, not a real heat spreader. kind of pricey for 2600 MHz ram

Overall Review: They worked fine for a while, but recently I noticed that windows was only seeing 8 of the 16 gigs, but the UEFI was showing 16, I removed one, and the PC booted fine, swapped them, and the PC wouldn't boot... found the bad one. Now I have to look for a new kit, this time I'll get a 3200 MHz kit, with real heat spreaders.
