Purchased 2 packs (32 GB total) for my Dell XPS. It came with 16 GB stock, but at a slower 2400 speed. Decided to upgrade everything to the same brand and speed to eliminate any potential hiccups. Install was super easy, and they were even on sale for $63. Best $126 I've spent on my PC.

Overall these sticks of ram are good. I’ve used these sticks of ram in a computer of mine for a few months now and have never had any issues whatsoever with them.
These sticks of ram would be good for any budget build where the CPU/MOBO are compatible. It may take some research but you should look up and ensure these are the optimal speed ram sticks for your cpu.
The price for 16gb ram sticks at their speed is hard to beat without going to a 3rd party.
My only criticism of them would be if the red metal piece on them is loose. If you were to hold it in your hand and jiggle it around the red metal piece would wiggle and make noise. Not a deal breaker but there doesn’t seem to be a way to fix it without bending by squeezing the metal to red metal clamp to hold onto the stick harder.

Attempted to upgrade the RAM in my nearly 4 year old desktop on my own. I would have to say that by far the hardest part was trying to figure out what RAM is suitable for my computer and how to install it (I'm a first-timer). I wanted the upgrade mainly because I play The Sims 4 and needed a little more oomph. The RAM plugged and played without a lot of fuss and my game runs a little snappier so it's a win. I went from 8 gb stock in my PC to the 16 gb here.

This PNY ram was easy to install and recognized with no problems. For the motherboard that I have, this is the fastest available without having to overclock. For the tasks that I do (photo/video editing and casual gaming) I never need anywhere close to 16GB so I don't have to worry about my PC being slow because of memory. For the latest games on the highest settings, this isn't the fastest ram on the market, but it is a good bang for your buck value.

Memory works exceptionally well and is exactly what I was looking for. Black/Red heat sink looks pretty cool as well and does what it's supposed to. The only issue I have is that the heat sink does not seem to be attached as well my gskill. When installing the memory, the heat sink actually moved while pressing the memory into the slot. Felt like it would fall off or maybe I was pressing too hard. Should not be a show stopper for anyone looking to purchase this memory set. It's PNY; can't go wrong.

Easy installation, decent speeds for the mobo I currently have. For newer motherboards, find a better, compatible option with higher speeds. Probably the best you’d find for many older prebuilts.

Great ram. I have had no memory issues since installing these. They are fast and work to the spec supplied. Only a few dollars more than online. While a little tall due to the heatsink, they presented only minor complication on install because of minimal clearance to power supply above in my box (4mm). They do not seem to run hot however, and this is no issue. Price was right, speed is good. Thanks
