G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT

Pros: Worked well initially.

Cons: Worked for 18 months, on an extremely low usage machine. Disappointed to say the least, I have other machines with G-Skill memory that have been running 24/7 for 5 or 6 years without a hiccup. This machine gets used about 2 or 3 times a week at the most for an hour. I would estimate that although this module is 18 months old it has probably only had about 2 months of use in that period, and that’s probably an over estimate.

Overall Review: Not worthwhile RMAing it, the machine didn’t really need 8GB in the first place, and I can do without the hassle and cost of an RMA procedure. Just a bit miffed at a failing memory module. Bonus is that initially I thought it was the motherboard giving up the ghost and I was about to order a new one when I thought about switching the modules out. Bingo, using the same single stick in either slot produced the boot failure, halting at the BIOS boot screen, using the other stick in either slot allowed a normal boot up.

Pros: DDR3 RAM at a good price.
It works!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Put this RAM into an inexpensive build for a friend, and it’s doing just what RAM is supposed to do. Good stuff.

Pros: Working great with:
ECS A880GM-M7 (V2.0) AM3 AMD 880G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 830 Deneb 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDX830WFK4DGM – OEM

Windows Experence:
Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 830 Processor: 7.2
Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB: 7.5 <–<<

Cons: none yet.

Overall Review: I cheap-ed out on my Motherboard (it was on sale).

Pros: Great price. Great brand. Immediately recognized by my 880G mobo (both times).

Cons: Had to RMA the first pair of these I got. Ran a burn-in test on it and got numerous critical failures. Was running ok, but I won’t take chances on a build I am doing for someone else. -1 egg for the cost of the RMA.

Barely cheaper than a little better version of G.Skill.

Overall Review: Newegg’s RMA process is pretty good, but it was a bit long to get my new set. Had I been in a crunch, it would not have been fast enough plus for $10, I should get memory to my door fast. I got it faster the first time when I had free shipping.

Pros: Bought this to update a 2011 Sandy Bridge Dell that still had a decent processor but was starting to show its age. I am so glad I did. The mobo had 2x4gig sticks in already and I added these two to the other slots and booted up. 16gigs of RAM immediately detected by Windows. No problem, super fast install. This plus an SSD makes this 6 year old computer fast as hell!

Cons: No free bacon?

Pros: – Work like a charm.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Bought these for my ASRock G41C-GS R2.0 LGA 775 Intel G41 + ICH7 Intel Motherboard and the computer came to life on the first power up. Been happy with them since then.

Pros: Well constructed.
Dual-channel.
Easy to identify.
Attractively priced.
Works perfectly with the same model I had in machine (I’m now at 16gb – 4x4gb).

Cons: None so far (two weeks in).

Overall Review: Make sure that you buy the same model number of the RAM you wish to put in the machine, whether buying all-new or adding memory sticks. I bought from two different vendors, but the same model number. Subtleties can make all the difference in functionality.

Pros: Good RAM, does its job, no worries

Cons: 1 of 2 ordered sticks failed. G-Skill did fantastic job getting replacement RAM to me ASAP. Been a newegg customer for years, this is the first DOA part ever received.

Overall Review: G-Skill seems to be a great company to work with!
