Review on TECMIYO 4GB Kit (2X2GB) DDR2 PC2-5300 PC2 5300U Non ECC Unbuffered 1 by Russ Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As described, good for internals

I have a home build of an ASUS M3N72-D motherboard on July 25, 2009 with an AMD Phenom IIx4 processor and only 4GB of RAM. Although my ASUS book says it requires up to 8GB of RAM, it isn't. After all 4 2GB sticks were installed I kept getting the blue screen error and the computer kept rebooting. At first I thought that one of the strips I received might be defective, but I tried two of them at the same time and they worked perfectly. Back then I used 2 sticks of 2GB and 2 original sticks of 1GB which gave me 6GB of RAM. This arrangement works perfectly and is much better than the 4GB setting.

Pros
  • Please Note: May not work on all devices. Please check the specifications of your device before purchasing. Clean the connector figure gently with an eraser and clean the slots with compressed air before installation. Do not use corrosive substances such as ethyl alcohol.
Cons
  • It's not as good as it says it is
