G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

Pros: The RAM is fast and reasonably reliable. I had some issues with it and G Skill was really easy to work with to get replacements. My i7-860 desktop was randomly restarting. I isolated it to the RAM by replacing components, but couldn't get memtest to show any errors. Contacted G Skill and they RMA'd it without any hassle. They also got the replacement sent out really fast. I've had this RAM since 2011 and bought another 2 X 4GB this year because of how pleased I am with it.

Cons: Like I said, I had an issue with random restarts due to bad RAM after a a few years. RMA'ing it was easy, so I can't complain too much.

Pros: Easy to install and worry-free set up. Has not given me any trouble as of this time. After more than two years and still running smooth. Get them, try them and run them on high settings, it will make your eyes watery.

Cons: None So far but a red color will be better.

Pros: Looks sweet, supposedly pretty fast, cheap.

Cons: Both sticks came DOA, tested them on 3 different computers. Was not detecting either of them.

Dear Customer

We can take care of this right away. It is extremely odd you received DOA modules. Please send them directly to G.Skill for RMA exchange and we will send you new ones that should work flawlessly. If you continue to have issues with the new kit, a BIOS update may be necessary, or the motherboard may be defective. It is highly unlikely for two modules to be completely dead, especially if they are suppose to be brand new. Each G.Skill memory kit goes through rigorous testing to ensure quality control so these mishaps do not happen. But either way, you are backed by a lifetime warranty, so you never have to worry about these issues. For any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you

Pros: Looks nice, matches case, Fast, nice heat spreader, and nice brand.

Cons: Price has jumped i built a desktop about a year ago and ram like this was about 50$ i payed 66$ for this item.
In the end though the item is still worth it.

Other Thoughts: I did get a 12$ i think off with a combo buy for this item so, thxs to newegg i still got a nice price.

Pros: I have owned this RAM for around 2 years without a problem. It has worked from the time I installed it into the motherboard. I did not have to change any settings, because the speed and timings were found automatically.

Cons: Absolutely none. Buy this memory right away.

Other Thoughts: i7 2600k
Asrock extreme 4
Crucial 120gb SSD
WD black 2 TB
Radeon 6870

Pros: Fast, Ran at the Advertised speed of 1600. Using 3 sticks on a ASUS P8Z77-V LGA board. The CPU heatsink blocks one of the slots but not G.SKILL's fault on that. XMP loads right up with no issue. Scores a healthy 7.5 on windows Index.

Highly Recommend

Cons: None Whatsoever.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Wish I would have bought some more for my system.
haha

Pros: I like it.

Pros: This ram looks pretty darn cool. As far as performance goes, both sticks work great and had no errors after 7 hours of prime95 testing.

Cons: I had to go into the bios to change the timings to what they're rated at.

Other Thoughts: This is good ram for the price.

Pros: Fast, ran at advertised speeds/voltage, XMP profile loaded right up.

Cons: none
