    I started this build by replacing the motherboard and then figured out that I would need ddr3 memory sticks. Best buy was easy to search and I got my product fast.

    The sticks stay at an even temp, and have had no over heating problems, plan on buying another 8 gigs, after the first of the year.

    With the first package I purchased one of the modules worked and the other was defective. I exchanged for another, and one of the modules was defective as well. I've also had two PNY keyboard/mouse combos and both of them were of poor quality. DO NOT purchase PNY products -- they're junk!

    Product not as Advertised

    Advertised product was for two 4GB memory modules for a total of 8GB. When I installed it, my system reported only 6GB Total, one module was only reporting 2GB, so I returned it for an exchange. The second kit I got reported the same thing, so I exchanged it for a third kit. The third kit also reported as 6GB, I tested the memory on two systems and sure enough one module was only 2 GB. I gave up at this point and kept the RAM. I do not fault Best Buy as they exchanged the product with no questions. I do fault PNY for faulty packaging. I will never buy another PNY product ever again.

    The installation instructions are not updated and do not inform you how to install all parts. YouTube helped, a lot. Supplied fan was packaged damaged RMA was quick. Unit needs 2 fans to work well push pull, 2nd fan not supplied.

    Heat radiator is small and doesn't have all the fancy "fins" that some other memory has so fits in situations where you don't have a lot of room. Lack luster performance and both of my pieces of memory had bad sectors.

    Standard memory. Since I installed, my games have load faster and ran smoother...mostly. I've also been having a random BSOD on occasion, but not sure I can attribute it all to memory.

    I guess these are okay. I do find that my computer is a bit slow, but that may be due to the computer not these SiMMS cards.

    wanted to upgrade from 10 gb to 16 gb. Tried multiple times with multiple patters on memory to add to system but would not boot with new memory. Went back to store for Geek support, who tried every variation and combination and agreed with me that it would not work, suggested getting another brand of memory from online and refunded the purchase price.

    Good buy but not great

    one of the timings for it is almost double my other ram. its not the advertised timings but ones you see from inside the bios. for everyday use: light gaming, internet use, streaming videos, it will be fine. if you are into heavy online mutliplayer games or heavy graphic games, you will notice some bottlenecks. i benchmarked them and my computer as a whole and just the computer with them. without them my computer was the fastest with only 4 gigs of ram with and without the paging file. would i recommend them? yes as long as you arent a heavy gamer. if you have enough ram with this installed them disable the paging file and see what your computer can really feel like.
