Pros & Cons
Pros
G. Skill ripjaws x series. Working at spec speed with no problem with no bad blocks. I stream and play a lot of higher powered games, and these are great and obviously easy to install in a build. Had g-skill already in my pc, just adding more ram.
It's not the best price for ddr3 ram, but my first (cheapest) choice didn't let the hardware post. Will overclock and keeps my older setup rolling for another year or two.
My ancient lga1155 motherboard is now maxed out at 32 gb. Skill f3-1600c9d-16gxm ripjaws x series 16gb (2 x 8gb) is a good buy to upgrade from the ripjaws 8gb if you are looking for a starting upgrade.
Cons
Buyer beware. Bad post data and bad pool data and other bsod. Couldn't even pull up a * report. Not happy with the ram.
Highlights
Quality
Works great, needed to upgrade memory on a z77 pc from 8 to 16, this did the trick.
Very reliable, working smooth with amd fx9590
My ancient lga1155 motherboard is now maxed out at 32 gb.
Never, ever had a problem with gskill.
Price
Great price for good old classic ddr3 ramwill reccomend to anyone looking to beef up an old system
Either way, this ram was priced ok and easily adjusted in bios to increase the speed.
Very good price point, appears to be stabpl.
It works fine but ddr3 sure is expensive.
Shipping
Shipped fast and arrived undamaged, which is always a concern of mine when ordering from amazon.
The only issue is they shipped me two pairs of the ram instead of one.
Again, it worked great, but they sent me two orders.
Competitiveness
If you are looking for ram clocked at a base frequency of 1600mhz, stay away from this brand.
If you have an amd ryzen, i was told it's better to use g skill flare-x instead.
I had wanted the 2133 or 2400mhz version, but are hard to find and more than twice the price of these 1600mhz.

Given amazons ridiculous customer support i cannot figure out how to just contact the vendor to ask about returning the second pair
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I must either ask for an automatic refund or go down some automated decision tree for diagnosing why the computer wont work with the ram

My dell optiplex didnt support oc profiles so i was left with 16gb memory that was clocked at 1333mhz after purchase slower than my original 8gb 1600mhz
