All good this time

I use this memory in a computer that I work on a lot, and I constantly stress all cores for hours or days for my work. It was throwing all sorts of errors that I just couldn't debug, and it took me forever to figure out that one of the RAM sticks was defective. I bought it as a replacement and now it works great. The fact is that this very brand and model went badly (although black instead of blue. I believe they are the same). So should I give a lot of stars for the one I just got or should I deduct a few for a stick that has gone bad? I think I'll go somewhere in the middle. Incidentally, I had the computer for at least 18 months before I noticed any errors. However, that doesn't mean that RAM has always worked properly all along. Bad RAM is really unpredictable and difficult to debug if you're not looking for it. I'm glad the bug didn't end up in my programming.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
