This RAM was recommended to me by a friend after I searched for more cost efficient RAM. I certainly paid the price for skimping on RAM. After testing the RAM prior to assembly and seeing no problems, I installed it and 1-2 days later received my first BSOD. I thought, “that’s odd, but maybe it was an issue with Windows.” Did a Windows file check and Driver Verifier which both came up clean. I bluescreened specifically with a kernel security check failure so I also ran a chkdsk which too came up clean. At this point I had other real life issues to do and forgot about it. Another two days later, while under moderate load, received another BSOD. I once again ran the usual checks and finally decided to run a memory check.

I’ve attached my still in-progress diagnostics tool that has already detected a problem with the RAM. Best of luck to anyone purchasing, but I would not recommend

It's budget DRAM that's good for an entry-level system with potential for higher performance. See attached photos for timing configurations and AIDA64 benchmark. There are 2 possible routes to take with this kit: 1) go with the default XMP setting to play it safe and achieve 3000 MT/s or higher frequency, but at cost of higher latency; or 2) adjust the timings manually to attempt to lower latency, but most likely requires frequency at 2933 MT/s. Choose carefully depending on what your workload requires. Update the motherboard BIOS if necessary. Personally, I went with the latter route since its latency benchmark was too high for my liking. The default XMP profile yielded 70ns latency in benchmarks, and my manual setting lowered it to low-50s. Throughput was roughly ... MoreIt's budget DRAM that's good for an entry-level system with potential for higher performance. See attached photos for timing configurations and AIDA64 benchmark.

Select Gear 1 for Intel systems and 1N command rate to keep latency as low as possible.

Last time I tried upgrading memory in my desktop I ended up burning out a brand-new stick since one of the slots ended up being too close to the CPU cooler. Thus, I shopped for memory sticks which would allow me to install 16GB on two slots so that I could maintain proper RAM spacing, and this came out as one of the lesser-expensive models from a respected brand. The modules arrived quickly and installed without issue, and now I've been going about a month with absolutely zero memory issues at all. Others have noted that there is no additional heat dissipation on these chips. The pretty design on the front is just a sticker over the memory chips, not a painted/molded metal heatsink the way most other high-end memory is. If you're like me and just a casual user who ... MoreLast time I tried upgrading memory in my desktop I ended up burning out a brand-new stick since one of the slots ended up being too close to the CPU cooler.

This is my second card that I ordered, last one I bought back in January, all I did was press reorder. My old card says MFG Oct 2020, and this one says April 2021. My old card has 16 1 GB ram modules on it, and the new one only has 8 2 GB modules. At first, I thought the RAM was defective, as my PC wouldn't boot after installing, and then I realized the differences in the cards. I had to update my BIOS, and then still had issues getting it to work, as putting my old card in the second slot, and my new one in the fourth slot would only allow the cards to reach 2133 MHz, though when I ran them each alone, they worked fine. This was an extremely long and tedious process, as my PC boots from an HDD.

This was an extremely long and tedious process, as my PC boots from an HDD. Eventually I figured out that if I ran the cards in the opposite position, new in second slot, and old in fourth, then they would both work as intended, at 3200 MHz. Eventually I would like to upgrade my system to 64 Gb of RAM, and honestly, I probably won't order these again. I would likely replace all of my ram, because of worry of a potential compatibility issue. Overall, they work as intended, even though it was difficult to make them, good RAM
Around the time when I first built the PC, everything worked fine and was setup easy without any trouble. That was 1-2 months ago and the PC was not touched at all from then until today since I was on a long vacation. It has not been powered on, moved, or plugged in between that time and was in one single spot. Fast forward to today, nothing is happening on the screen. In the PC, all the fans spins including the PSU fan and the CPU Fan and all of the lights comes on. It's just nothing happening on the screen. I tried 3 different monitors with the dedicated video card and the on-board video (no change at all, still nothing on the screen). I removed one RAM stick, and it worked. You would think the problem is solved, however.. To verify, I placed that exact RAM stick ... MoreAround the time when I first built the PC, everything worked fine and was setup easy without any trouble.

You would think the problem is solved, however.. To verify, I placed that exact RAM stick back into the slot and it worked again. Like, the questionable RAM stick worked. So then I went to verify the amount of RAM via windows and the BIOS in case it wasn't seated right the first time. It's only showing 1 stick of RAM for only 8GB and yes it's seated right. And now from that point on, it won't boot if that that RAM stick is in the slot. In order to boot, that RAM stick needs to be out. Other small details (the issues is a little in-consistent): If I wait long enough to see if it will boot WITH the questionable RAM stick in, then only sometimes the system will restart itself after like 30 seconds. It has only happened twice in my many attempts. I had high hopes for this RAM, but I don't think I'll be back. I'll try to get a replacement but if that don't work, then I'm done.
Sent 8gb x2 GSKILL , but was cheap enough and I needed ram , check photos carefully and compare to advertisement! Lesson learned! Was willing to accept return, but I started using and now need em
I've had no issues with this RAM set since I purchased it 3 months ago. I'm running a Core i5-8400 in a Z370 chipet MoBo. Which could probably account for my more positive experience than some others that have been struggling with Ryzen chips. So, if you're going to run an Intel setup you should be fine with this RAM. I did try to push the RAM little bit, just pushed it up one notch on the MHz to 3200 and loosened timings a bit and it refused to work. Didn't think it was worth tinkering further if it wasn't going to take a small step up. No skin off my teeth seeing as how all reviews I've looked at with the Z370 chipset show that over DDR4 3000 you see very diminished returns, if any at all. As far as heat spreaders are concerned, I've done a bit of reading online ... MoreI've had no issues with this RAM set since I purchased it 3 months ago.

As far as heat spreaders are concerned, I've done a bit of reading online and it seems that RAM really doesn't need a heat spreader at all, even overclocked. The heat created by RAM is minuscule. It's really just for pretties than anything. Don't just take my word for it, though. I recommend either doing some measurements of your own or go do some research.
In all seriousness, look—in this world, and specifically in consumer transactions and/or on NewEgg, do you think we should have three-star (3*) reviews acknowledging a product's "[g]reat price," lauding the fact it's "way faster" and "solid" in its speed, and even noting "[m]ight buy another one"? The answer is no, because that's contradictory and confusing—giving a rating that literally constitutes failure, yet omitting description of facts supporting purported failure, and often unwittingly explaining why the product does NOT deserve the rating). Buying PC parts is, and should be, very simple. If buying them makes you nervous, or even extra cautious, just know that customer reviews shouldn't be confirming or contributing in any way to your concern, unless there ... MoreIn all seriousness, look—in this world, and specifically in consumer transactions and/or on NewEgg, do you think we should have three-star (3*) reviews acknowledging a product's "[g]reat price," lauding the fact it's "way faster" and "solid" in its speed, and even noting "[m]ight buy another one"? The answer is no, because that's contradictory and confusing—giving a rating that literally constitutes failure, yet omitting description of facts supporting purported failure, and often unwittingly explaining why the product does NOT deserve the rating). Buying PC parts is, and should be, very simple. If buying them makes you nervous, or even extra cautious, just know that customer reviews shouldn't be confirming or contributing in any way to your concern, unless there are numerous of them iterating and confirming a specific issue with potential to affect you. Otherwise, you may read the review on this RAM and be worried that "only 66% are 5* reviews, which seems kinda low" and/or "12% of the reviews are 3* or below, which seems pretty high." Well, if you read carefully, you'll notice the low reviews all discuss a supposed issue certain individual claim to have had reaching the full 3000mHz speed advertised. Know who this doesn't affect or warrant thinking about? Anyone with an Intel processor rather than a Ryzen (which I bet is the majority of folks reading this review). Second, though only 66% of reviews are 5* (which admittedly I would in isolation consider "low"), that number spikes to 88% when considering both 4* and 5* reviews. Go read the 4* reviews to find a bunch of reasons that shouldn't detract from or even be considered in evaluating this product's rating. For example, at least a few 4* reviewers appear to have shaved a full star off their rating solely due to the lack of a heat sink included on/with this RAM—a feature which is never even hinted as being included anywhere in the item description, and which isn't some industry standard included with every other (or even most) brands/models of RAM. The fact it's not included doesn't impact the rating of this; if the heat sink mattered to you that much, products like this wouldn't even be on your radar (not to mention you'd probably be in a difference price range altogether), so it doesn't make sense to criticize a product that reflects not having a heat sink in the fact of its fantastic price. Reviewers: If you got exactly what you were told you'd be paying for, are receiving the exact performance you expected, and got it at a great price, be accurate with the rating and review, taking into account that a lot of people are scared to make these purchases and anything less than 5* generally signifies to most, or at least many, consumers that there's something less or worse than expected about it.
Was upgrading from 16 GB to this 64 GB package. Post-upgrade, I boot my PC, and see that all ~65000 MB of RAM is detected. Good. Boot into Windows, was met with an instant BSOD. Windows 10 starts asking to repair my corrupt boot drive, which seemed very wrong. Booting into safemode and ignoring any driver signature checking didn't do anything. I took out the RAM, blew any dust away from the slots like a retro game cartridge, and put the 64GB back in - this time disabling any auto DRAM voltage. Same thing. Took my PC apart AGAIN, put the old 16GB back in, and she boots into Windows just fine.YMMV
