Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought this ram for another 8-gigs on my 5-yr. You most likely have cpu and gpu that are fine and your ssd and hdd are most likely fine too.

Cons

The 1600mhz ram is unstable even when down clocked to 1600mhz. Either buy a different ram or just save up money to upgrade to ddr4. Only one of the two 8gb rams that come in the packaging works.

Warning rebate scam artists. The incorrect sticker is misleading at best, scammy at worst. I see many examples on the net of them denying people rebates for no good reason.

The heat sinks on the ram are not heat sinks they are just two plastic covers with a foam adhesive sandwiched between the ram and the plastic covers. Advertised as two 8gb sticks. They actually send you 2 x 4gb memory, totaling 8gb.

Highlights

Quality

Memory easy to install, tested and working with no problems.

Easy to install, worked as expected, compatible with my system

The heat sink blades prevent the fan assembly to engage back in place, ruling the enhanced ddr3s useless to me.

If you get windows repair popup reseat your ram sticks and install and load windows one at a time until all are installed and running.

Price

Best $35 i’ve ever spent that fixed everything.

A buy for sure if you are on a budget

Get's the job done at a good price

Shipping

Worked as expected very prompt shipping and on time delivery thanks

Arrived the next day with prime shipping.

Competitiveness

Adding 8gb made a difference, bumping it up to 16gb made it even better.

Because the 7010 does not officially support 32gb, i tried to avoid any "generic" or off name brands.

Granddaughter has on older dell optiplex 390 computer that was moved to a cougar case with glass sides.

Ran it for a bit with these and another brand and worked well.
