G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ

Pros: I ordered these sticks because they were specifically on the QVL for my motherboard despite knowing that it wouldn't run at the stock speed due to the processor. In fact, almost no processors in existence today can run memory at 1600Mhz. I put an Athlon II x2 regor 255 3.1 GHz dual core processor in which only supports a memory speed of 1066 with the onboard memory controller. These sticks correctly turned down to that speed automatically and lowered the timings so they were technically still operating at close to the same effetive speed, making it ultra low timing 1066 but for a lot less money than specifically buying high performance 1066 ram.

Cons: none!

Overall Review: They're soooo shiny too

Pros: Lifetime Warranty Great Brand Stable Great Price Runs cool even when overclocked Overclocks very well: 2133 MHz @ 1.65v 9-11-10-28-2T

Cons: Green PCB, black would be better

Overall Review: Overclocking this ram to 2133 MHz greatly improved the graphical performance of the integrated GPU on my A10-5800K.

Pros: Well presumably if they worked, they would work fine.

Cons: First time I've gotten DOA RAM. It sucks building a new system and then having it BSOD all over the place, and then running a memtest and realizing a stick of RAM is dead, delaying the build for a while.

Overall Review: Newegg made an RMA super easy, though I'm reluctant to get GSkill again. I'm writing this review to help give buyers an idea of the failure rates of these things. I understand that other users have gotten it and had it work perfectly. If I ever use GSkill again and it works, I will leave a positive review.

Pros: Good ram, Love the look of it.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Came with the combo I bought.

Pros: In response to the poster below with overclocking troubles (sorry to use this as a make-shift forum, but I really would rate this ram at 5 stars, multiple times anyway - I bought multiple sets!) Anyway, if you have issues, just write G.SKILL customer service or read their forums and they can help you like they helped me. but here is what you do for the ASUS board: In BIOS, set "AI OVERCLOCK TUNER" to "manual", even if the correct timings are set by auto. This gives you access to the "DRAM timing/driver config" menu. In that menu, set the timings like this: FSB:DRAM: 1:4 CL: 9 clocks tRCD: 9 clocks tRP: 9 clocks tRAS: 24 clocks tRC: 40 clocks CR: 2T Then set your northbridge voltage to around 1.4v (little more or little less is fine). Do the same for HT voltage, 1.4v. Then set your DRAM voltage to around 1.6v, a little more is fine. Set DRAM to 1600mhz save BIOS and reboot

Cons: none, as always...

Overall Review: Download a free a program called "CPUZ" and run it to verify if you're running at 1600mhz and if all your clock speeds are correct, or just check it again in BIOS. Should work fine. Good luck and enjoy!

Pros: good-looking IMHO; effective heatsinks, cool to the touch in normal operation; standard height (no problem with overhanging heatsinks); ample margins for MILD o.c.; booted up 8 GB in my Gigabyte board (MA790GPT-UD3H) first time, without bios mod; Memtest 86+ v. 4.00 loves these memories, even at 8-8-8-20 1600 timing, 1.5 Vmem, i.e. w/ mildly aggressive timings, no Vmem boost; good value if free ship, even w/out rebate.

Cons: None found, provided your bios lets you mod mem internal timings, otherwise see below

Overall Review: Default timings of these dimms in most mobos may NOT be the advertised 9-9-9-24 1600 (PC3 12800), they will likely be significantly slower (in order to guarantee operation in slower / marginal mobos.) So ... in order to achieve advertised performance you may need to mod the mem timings via your bios to std. 9-9-9-24 1600 mhz internal membus clocking or equivalent. BTW the above caution applies to most DDR3 and DDR2 dimms in most mobos. Also - be sure your cpu supports 2-channel (as opposed to 3-channel) DDR3 operation.

Pros: DDR3 at 1600!!!! Blazing fast!

Cons: My only con: The people who continuously leave negitivepost for things that include; It Cut Me (LOL), The Shipping was free and took 3 days, ....or my favorite one.... It was hard to get outta the plastic housing! What is wrong with you people, Get a Nintendo DS or something

Overall Review: Newegg.com For Life! Phenom II x4 955 O.C.'d to 3.52 Ghz 8 GB GSkill DDR3 1600 x2 SSD OCZ 30 GB HDD's in a RAID 0 ATI 5770 w/ 1 GB DDR5 WD 1 TB HDD and the list just keeps going..... Does newegg have a support group???

Pros: Memory worked right out of the package. Of course I follow a strick procedure everytime so I could isolate each SDRAM. USE A GROUND STRAP ON YOUR WRIST! 1. Install and test EACH SDRAM, one at a time. 2. After each checks out, then install 2, then add another until all are installed checking configuration after each install. 3. BIOS mem settings: Make sure you set to MANUAL at 1st bootup. I set mine to these and worked with Win7 on GigaByte MB immediately after setting speed to 1600 MHz FSB:DRAM: 1:4 CL: 9 clocks tRCD: 9 clocks tRP: 9 clocks tRAS: 24 clocks tRC: 30 clocks CR: 2T Ran full load tests and Prime95 for 4 hours on each SDRAM, and then 24 hours straight on all 4 SDRAMS installed for 8 GB total on Win 7-64bit. This memory is fast! There is faster G.SKILLS available, but for the money a couple of microseconds on the RAS rates is not that important. I run two VS compilers, stream video, and play games AT THE SAME TIME and still more memory available.

Cons: None
