One failed after several months
Pros: I bought two of these to upgrade my old laptop. The speed increased significantly, and all was stable. At first...
Cons: After several months, one of the modules failed. The other is still working fine, but I would choose a different brand if I were going to order laptop memory again.
Overall Review: I can't recommend this memory, after a 50% failure rate. I doubt G. Skill is bad memory, I imagine I just got one bad stick. But I'll shop for another brand next time.
Will not run
Pros: Feature set is great
Cons: Bought this to replace my existing mobo which has issues. It will not boot. Goes straight to "Startup Repair/System Restore" screen, neither of which will get this to boot. I removed all the hardware, replaced it on my old board, and everything runs again. I'm getting skilled at building a system, I guess. It is definitely this board, as all the components work with the old one. All settings are factory.
Overall Review: This is the rev 4.0 board. I was pleased to see that, but apparently it doesn't matter in my case. Very disappointed. FX8350 16GB Corsair Vengeance Samsung 840 Pro GTX 550Ti (x2) Thermaltake 850w modular PS
