More memory is better

Added extra memory to a computer my son and I built 5 years ago and it still works. As for the RAM, it's easy to install, just make sure the RAM is fully seated in the slot.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

long game; do the job

Ripjaws series rams always do exactly what they're supposed to do, and this replacement kit, which finally broke after six years of all-day everyday use, is no exception. If your rig can handle them, do yourself a favor and get them.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • get in trouble

Excellent memory cards

I just left the computer repair shop. I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Certified Technology and IOS Specialist, Android Developer. I've used hundreds of G. Skill Sticks of all sizes and never had a problem. They make very good memory cards. For the price and quality you can't go wrong.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • For old ones

Gaming PC Ready

I ordered the product in the morning, received it before dark, now my PC has the maximum system memory that its motherboard can handle. As you can see from the photo this is not the only time I have ordered this product and certainly not the last as I have another computer that needs better RAM. I love the red case, it's easy to hold, easy to install, and aesthetically pleasing. For me it's 10/10

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Neutral

Doesn't work on my system

My ASROCK Pro 3 Gaming Mainboard and my AMD FX 8320 Octa-Core 3.50 GHz processor with Windows 10. Everything in the description matched, as did the built-in memory, but when I installed new memory, NOTHING, the system didn't boot at all. I think they need to add more information to the description like memory compatibility and such. except useless. Storage looks fantastic.

Pros
  • Practical thing
Cons
  • Negative is available

Inserted and earned

The computer did not have enough memory of only 8 gigs. The price difference wasn't that big when I switched to this 16GB pack from another 8GB pack, so I bought it. Connected and now 24 gigabytes are available. Didn't do anything in the bios. I haven't played with the fancy settings, so I can't tell if it runs very fast or slow. I know I'll never run out of storage now, so as fast as it was, it worked for my needs. They barely fit under the CPU cooler. So if you have space issues, you might…

Pros
  • sparkles
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

16GB extra RAM so far and no problem

I use my PC for gaming and it already has 2 x 4GB RipJaw DDR3 modules installed. I decided to upgrade while hopefully keeping my old cards. While my heatsink made accessing the connectors a bit painful, they popped out (and make sure they're INSIDE, you'll have to push down a bit or you'll brick, but at least it's a quick way to know if it's there is on or not), and after that my installed RAM was at 24GB according to my operating system. So far my footage has been better in games like Arma 3…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Capacity

Issues with the first set but quick replacement and still a great buy!

This is good RAM and I like G.Skill but the packaging could be improved or it could come in a box instead of a padded envelope. In short, the first order was DOA, the replacement was shipped immediately and worked great. If it's compatible with your system, this is a great memory kit at a decent price. Good buy. My kid wanted to upgrade his computer and he had $100 for his birthday so I gave him this as a gift. The first set delivered had some damage to the plastic packaging (several cracks and

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
