5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality, fast RAM.

The quality of this RAM is very nice. The heat-spreaders feel good on these (not flimsy) and cool the ram effectively. The black PCB is a nice touch, too. Loaded these into my ASRock Z77 Professional board without a problem and selected the XMP profile and off we went! Performance is great and they are super-stable. I have zero complaints and thoroughly enjoy them. When purchased, these were absolutely the best priced set of CAS 9 modules I could find and I wanted something different than the same stuff everybody uses while keeping to a high quality product. I will eventually add a black set of these to my board too for a total of 32GB (when prices come back down). I purchased these from Amazon for $60 something... Yeah, killer deal to top it off!

After doing some additional testing, these seemed like they would overclock fairly well too.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with this RAM. I ordered 2 packs when it was on sale for a combined 32 GB of RAM. (Overkill, I know, but the sale made it dirt cheap so why not?) Everything in my setup is running a heck of a lot faster than it used to when I had my old computer with 4 GB.

But with all of that being said, think about what you TRULY need. 16GB is a lot and most people are hard pressed to use 8GB. But if you are looking for something to throw into a high-powered machine, this is a solid choice.

Works in my Lenovo TS140 server with Intel Xeon processors.

Windows-10 and OS-X Yosemite utilize allot of memory.

I recommend 8gb. of physical memory minimum and preferably 16gb. of physical memory.

4gb. of physical memory just does not perform well anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great RAM For Great Price
Reviewed in Canada on March 4, 2014

First of all, I want to praise amazon for their great service. For some reason, I was charged for shipping which was only about $3. I contacted amazon and explained my concern for future purchases. Not only that they understood but they also issued me a refund. So thank you amazon.

So as for the RAM. The RAM works great. I have the corsair vengeance series and the heat spreaders are significantly bulkier than patriot. So I guess patriot RAMs are pretty good for low profile build. Once I got the RAM, I did multiple burn in tests to make sure that I don't have a defective one. All of them passed. I didn't do over clocking etc etc.

FYI, got these RAMs for $89. Really good price.
