Awesome memory!! Works with AMD!!
Pros: Works awesome. Easy to set up to the advertised specs. It works with AMD platforms flawlessly!! Operates at a low voltage. 8 gigs! I have oc'ed mine with no stability issues and at stock volts.
Cons: No cons. Dropped them in and started up with no issues. PS...I hate it when I see cons that say...doesn't cook breakfast, wasn't free....etc!
Overall Review: My rig: GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA-UD5 AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE @ 3.915 G.Skill RipjawsX 8-8-8-24 DDR3 1600 8 GB XFX HD6970 2GB Reference Thermalright Archon Corsair TX850 CM STORM SNIPER 3 X 200mm's, 2 x120mm's 640 GB WD Black Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Logitech G15 & G500 Viewsonic VX2450wm (1920-1080) I have built several computers for home and for work and always go to G.skill for the memory! Excellent company and excellent support!!
Is common sense gone??
Pros: Good specs for my daughter. Good name brand***so I thought. I am happy with the specs for what I paid.
Cons: Used the computer for 3 weeks...started to get the BSOD. I ran some trouble shooting tests....bingo....fails the memtest. The machine only has 2 ram sticks, so I found the defective one and removed it. Machine works fine now...except that I only have 1 stick of ram in the machine. So I call Newegg to see if I can just get a replacement stick of memory so I don't have to ship the whole computer back. Well, they just direct me to call Asus and were no help at all. So I give Asus a call and express to them that I build computers for the company I work at and have lots of experience with building and fixing them. I explained to them that my computer has a bad stick of memory and I would like to be able to return my bad stick to them and have them ship me out a new one so I can replace it. Sorry sir, we can't do that....you have to ship the whole computer back in for a replacement computer! All for a lousy stick of ram that can be replaced in less than a minute!!! Also, since I opened the case to remove the bad ram, they probably wouldn't honor my warranty anyway!!
Overall Review: Is common sense gone?? Today it apparently makes more sense to a company to ship an item back for a minor thing instead of just sending out a replacement part that can be shipped out for about $2.00! Granted, not everyone would feel like me and they would want to ship the computer back and get a replacement. That is fine and I understand, but I offered an easy solution to them. I have built so many computers over the years and getting a bad stick of ram is a pretty common occurrence. So, here I sit now shopping for a new ram kit for the computer. Hopefully I will not have any issues with the rest of the computer over the next year. Since I had to open it up, I have no doubt that I have voided my warranty.
Died after 4 mos
Pros: Nice solid unit. Powered everything in my rig. Nice looking and has a very good reputation. Great warranty.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Died after 4 mos. Wouldn't power up at all. Had to spend $25.00 on shipping it back to CA from NC! There goes my rebate savings. I don't think it is fair to have to pay to return a defective product. Knocking off one egg for this. Sent back 8/3, by UPS 3 day select. The Egg recd it on 8/6 and it still shows in the "recieved" on my RMA...who knows how long this will take. But it is not very much fun to be down so long. Maybe they will "expeidte" shipping back to me for the inconvenience this has caused. Probably wishful thinking though!
Does the job.
Pros: Good, cheap brand name ram.
Cons: First set arrived DOA. After paying about 50% of the initial costs of the ram for shipping to send it back to Newegg, it is only a OK deal. I usually buy another well known brand and have never had any problems.
OK power supply
Pros: OK power supply. Lots of power. Second purchase of an Antec power supply. Newegg has awesome customer service!
Cons: Rebate issue. I sent in all of my original paperwork to get the rebate offer on this unit only to find out that Antec's rebate processing company went out of business and now I will not be getting my refund. The only reason I choose this psu was due to the Egg's price and the rebate offer. I am really disappointed with Antec at this time and will not purchase another psu from them do to this issue. For the same money paid, I could have gotten a Corsair.
Overall Review: Thanks for the excellent customer service and fast shipping Newegg!
Pros: Nice, well-built cooler. It is huge! Works well in my system. Just follow the directions and remove the fan...installation not difficult at all. Had mine installed in under a minute!
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Good construction and great price!
