Broke after 1 month

Changing rating because RAM broke after only 1 month. I bought 4 sticks of this RAM and installed it and it seemed to work fine for about a month. I then decided to fill the other 4 sockets with 4 more sticks of this RAM and all went well for about 2 weeks. Then I got regular Blue Screen of Death crashes. Just randomly surfing the internet. I pulled out the new RAM and found that the original 4 sticks are now down to 3 working sticks and I only have 24GB of RAM when I needed 32GB. Yes - I made…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Could be damaged

It works for me mixed with 2x4GB fins

Bought a used rig, came with 2x4GB fins, added this. At first I thought the stick wouldn't work, but I had to push really hard to put it on the mobo. I'm afraid I'll break it. So if it doesn't work, make sure it's safe! Also, you may need to adjust bios settings, I didn't have to as it's the same as my other RAM.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Can't get my Windows 10 to use it.

I was hoping to improve speed and responsiveness on my Win 10 computer by increasing the RAM. It's easy to install and the computer's BIOS sees it perfectly, but Windows won't use it. The system settings show 16 GB of RAM, but only 2 GB is available. I've tried every solution on YouTube to fix this to no avail. Disappointing.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Available in black only

Cheap product, stopped working after less than two months.

Ram stopped working after about a month, I think it's a very cheap component. Rather spend a little more money and save yourself the frustration. I bought this for an old computer, I want to speed up the transition from 4 to 8GB of RAM. It worked fine at first, but suddenly the computer wouldn't boot, so I put the old RAM in and it worked fine again. I also tried the RAM on another computer, which works great and also won't boot, so the RAM module is definitely the problem. Maybe it's just this

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Some flaws

Accelerated computing

My computer was slow and sluggish. I bought a couple of these modules to increase my RAM and hopefully speed things up. I don't know much about the internals of a computer, but after reading a tutorial I got into it. I drew a schematic before separating them. The new modules required quite a bit of pressure to insert properly, but you know what happens when the clamps close. The new modules significantly speed up the paging delay. They were adopted without additional installation. VERY GOOD…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • old

They work! good for internals

Used these for cross-evaluation in our office machines, so performance wasn't an important factor, mainly capacity. Acer and Lenovo machines took it easy. We're using Windows 10, so 4GB wasn't enough to test the future. Upgrading half with these sticks and then moving the rest of the sticks to other machines worked great without going over budget. Windows still doesn't use more than 4GB but is getting closer as it now uses less paging file which will drastically reduce disk usage which will be…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Has issues

Works like any other, only it costs less.

I've been using this brand of RAM for over a year and have tried dozens of other brands in all price ranges. I can't see the performance difference between the two. The ones that look super cool for gaming builds with all the cooling fins and all look like they're faster, but as far as I can tell they're all the same in terms of speed, reliability, and features. Gaming RAM looks a mile cooler and I only use it in high performance gaming builds especially if the case has transparent panels but…

Pros
  • Good looking
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
