- Strengths:
- Great Appearance and works right out of the box. Unlike a few other Rams I've tried.
I've heard people having a lot of issue with these interfering with CPU coolers and such, but I can't see how it would. I guess it's an intel issue because I built 3 different AMD gaming rigs and never had the cooler being in the way of the Ram sticks... maybe I'm just lucky haha
- Weaknesses:
- lack of red LED to make it cooler to look at? haha I'm joking
- Summary:
- Overall I am happy with this product. I mean so far I haven't had any dead ram stick yet. I'm not too sure about doing any OC on it since I haven't yet but I'll ask my customers to see if any of them tried. So far it's been perfect!
Great

- Strengths:
- - decent overclock
- tight timings
- stunning good looks
- Weaknesses:
- - none
- Summary:
- I'm very impressed with this memory. As long as you're not running Windows Home Basic 64bit, I highly recommend you pick up two of these kits. Remember that Windows Home Basic 64 has an 8GB memory limit, which the first reviewer obviously didn't realize.
Affordable, fast memory.

- Strengths:
- -Nice looking
-Cheap (On Sale)
-Has a nice red brushed metal sticker
- Weaknesses:
- -Runs extremely hot, like burns your fingers hot.
-Fails to run 16GB at 1600MHz, shows up in Windows as 16GB (7.95GB Usable).
-------Looked in the G-Skill forums, apparently other people have this issue as well and the G-Skill techs have no idea how to fix it...
-------Looked in the BIOS, detects all the RAM as being there, but only displays 8GB as being used as well. No setting changes fixed this, as well as changing Max Memory in msconfig.
- Summary:
- It's fine if you just want to run this one kit by itself at 8GB, but even then it's probably going to run searing hot to the touch.
Fails to boot at advertised latencies.

- Strengths:
- Great price and fast delivery from Memory Express. Works at 1600Mhz-9,11,11,11 latency.
- Weaknesses:
- Will not boot when manually set at advertised latencies. I have a 4 GB set of G-Skill ram with the same timings that works flawlessly. I have tested this ram both with and without the 4 GB set and either way it won't boot or sometimes even POST.
- Summary:
- Will contact G-Skill and likelly RMA.
Great RAM and great Price

- Strengths:
- -cheap and plentiful, hard to believe this much RAM only costs $50
-it worked just fine in my Asus P8Z68-V mobo even without being on Asus's compatibility list
- Weaknesses:
- -occasionally says mean things about you to its friends when you're off at work.
-probably doesn't taste good
- Summary:
- There's not a lot to say about it - it's just RAM. It's probably the best time to buy a ton of it (fall 2011) though since RAM manufacturers are making so much of it at present. In a year it'll probably be higher priced.
Great RAM, fantastic value!
