Pros: - Nice heatsinks - Easy to install (all RAM is) - Accepts overclocking easily

Cons: - High DOA (dead on arrival) Rate. Originally 25% (3/4 good), now 50% (1/2 good) fail and would not allow to boot into BIOS or Windows. - Patriot says they test each module, but I find that hard to believe with the amount of failures reported on their RAM. I originally bought 4 sticks of Patriot RAM (2GBx4=8GB). 3 out of 4 worked. 1 stick would not allow me to boot. I singled out the bad stick and paired it with another stick and I could not boot. I could boot to Windows with 6 GB (Win7 64 bit). I am now waiting on my third shipment of their RAM. Newegg is obviously not able to test the RAM before it is shipped to me. I hope this last shipment has 2 good sticks in it. Because if it doesn't...

Overall Review: I would honestly buy RAM from somewhere local...such as Micro Center, Best Buy, or other computer hardware retailers. If you get a bad stick you have the option of just going back to the store and remedying the problem the same day. Returns take time and I had to pay for shipping back to Newegg. Although, Newegg covered the shipping back to me.
