Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model PGV34G1333ELK

Pros: Runs Cool Does 7-7-7-24 at DDR1333 Does 7-7-7-18 at DDR1066 That is all the timings I have played with so far. Going to shoot for 6-6-6-16 at DDR1066

Cons: Timing table for 1066 at 1.5 volts would give me errors. Bumped it up to the 1.65 it is suppose to run at with DDR1333 speeds and no issues.

Pros: Fast and stable memory!

Cons: Defaults to 1066 on MSI 770-C45. The heat sinks are big and tall and got in the way of the fan on my Freezer 64, but fortunately it has good rubber mountings with allowed it to be moved a little out the way.

Overall Review: I had to manually set the settings to the recommended setting in the bios of the board and it runs very fast as such. I also had to up the voltage manually to 1.65 from 1.5 that the board defaults to. These are the default setting of the memory but for some reason it won't default to them. It has been very stable at 1333 settings after setup in the bios, but I can't get much more out of it.

Pros: Reliable, fairly well priced, honors rebates, runs as advertised with a voltage bump up to 1.65 on my MSI P55 -GD65 motherboard. helped me achieve 16780 on 3dMark Vantage with an i5 750 OCd to 3.6 ghz.

Cons: As mentioned in several places the heat spreaders are tall, but not abnormally tall for gaming memory - just be aware that oversized CPU coolers coupled with this RAM may make the first RAM slot on the mobo unavailable....

Overall Review: I've used 3 or 4 sets of Patriot RAM in the last year and I've been impressed with all of them. Seem to run a little faster than some other brands I've used..... I would recommend them to anyone.

Pros: Works as advertised and more

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: If I would have read the reviews prior to buying this RAM, I would have made another choice. I have an AMD setup and have had no troubles at all. Got a great deal with the rebate and couldn't be happier.

Pros: Great RAM at a decent price. Looks good. Works well. Can't ask for more.

Cons: Heatsinks might be a little tall for some tight installations. Especially if being used in a low profile case where space is already at a premium.

Overall Review: So far I have used this memory in 2 different ASUS boards and 2 different ASRock boards. The ASUS boards had no issues at all, but both ASRock models had to have BIOS updates in order to work properly. The ASRock P55 Pro board would lose the CMOS settings each time it was rebooted until the BIOS was updated, but it was an easy fix.

Pros: I read another review where Patriot said that these sticks were designed for use in an Intel core iX (where X is 3, 5, 7 or 9 (look up core i9 if you think I'm making that up)) systems. I'm using it in an AM3 system and it runs perfectly. In fact, it runs so perfectly, that its latency is 7-7-7-20 instead of 9-9-9-24 like they advertised @1333 MHz.

Cons: Nothing I seem to do will get it to run at 1600 MHz, but latency is more important than MHz.

Overall Review: Heatsinks look cool. I'm using stock AMD cooler so I can't comment about if their HS is abnormal or anything.

Coming from a Geforce Go 7200, I was very pleased to say the least.

Pros: None

Cons: Died after a few months.

Overall Review: Customer service from Patriot is awful. I returned the defective items on Feb 19, delivered on Feb 19 and now is Mar 1, have not heard anything from them about weather or not they honor their limited lifetime warranty on the products. Tried to call them, hit nothing but voicemail in all departments. Very disappointed! If someone from Patriot reads my review, here is my case#: Case #156814313 Patriot memory, you have lost my business!

Pros: The one stick that works was fine.

Cons: I consistently received blue screens with one stick (sounds like I'm not the first). I couldn't return the RAM because the day before the blue screens I had mailed in my UPC for a mail-in rebate, or believe me, I would have. I emailed Patriot and got an answer right away to double checking my system before I sent it in for an RMA. I sent 2 more emails and got no response. It's now been over a month. I called, and got sent to voice mail. Patriot can consider me no longer a customer.

Overall Review: Honestly, it's not worth the risk of having only half the RAM work. I bought 4 gigs of G.Skill and it works perfect. Too bad I wasted money on this product.
