Review on G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB RAM: High-speed DDR3-1866Mhz Memory (2x8GB) for Optimal Performance by Leroy Estell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Initial memory problems

I had an initial problem but I believe my MB was the cause. This memory was identical to the already installed 16 GB and brought it up to 32 GB. After installation I got a BSOD every 2-5 days with several different memory related codes. Repeated memory tests revealed no problems. Got into the BIOS and found my XMP was not enabled and the memory was running at 1333Mbps. Re-enabled XMP (it's been enabled since the original install, so I'm guessing the MB was reconfigured with more memory) and didn't hang at all for over 10 days.
