What's the verdict on G. Skill RAM?

[JTsyo]

Looking at getting DDR4 2800 or 3000 with 2X8GB and it seems they are the only choice. I usually buy Corsair since I had good experience with them so far.

 

[Dasa2]

probably both using the same samsung chips anyway
corsair is known for being exceptional with warranty support
that said i havent heard anything bad about g.skill with rma i just love that they are often very good value

I've run G.Skill RAM in the past and it worked fine.

 

[Sabrewings]

I have 8GB (4x2GB) in my Q6600 machine by them and never had an issue.

G.Skill is a good brand...running 2 computers with this ram and no problems. Had some issues with Corsair in the past..resolved though but had to RMA.

 

[smitbret]

I pretty much use Crucial or G-Skill in everything. Never had a problem with either (8 or so builds over the last decade).

 

[Soulkeeper]

G.Skill and mushkin have been on my short list for a few mem generations now. Generally most companies are pretty close anymore, so I wouldn't get too hung up on the brand name.

G SKILL is the only RAM I buy these days.

I don't buy it that often I guess, but still.

I'm using 8 sticks of G-Skill DDR4 2666 at 3000 on my X99-A. I have 2 sticks of DDR3 1866 in my server. Both very stable. Good stuff.

Have 2 computers running G.Skill ddr3 ram 2x4gb kits (1333 & 1866), my brothers 1866 had some problems, so rma'd it. I've had a bad copy of crucial 2x2gb ddr3 1066, didn't bother rmaing because I was running 2x4gb + 2x2gb at the time.

I would buy either of them again.

Almost any RAM from a major brand is completely fine as long as it has the right specs for your system. Possible exception on X99 where a quad channel kit is your best bet, and it's also good to check that the RAM is on the motherboard's memory QVL.

I had OCZ in my X58 system, then first Samsung and now Team in my LGA1155 system. Zero memory related issues.

During the cd2 days I switched from crucial ballistix to 4 sticks of G-Skill ddr2 1066 which ran close to 1200 MHz.
When the Nehalem came out I bought Skill Pi which was 1600 at cl-777 and later added 3x4 G-Skill sniper to the 3x2 G-Skill Pi.
My i5 has 4x4 G-Skill sniper
I chose crucial ballistix VLP on a 3770k.
Most of G-Skill memory is binned and is harder to oc then ballistix.

I loved my Pi Black 2x2Gb back in the day. DDR3-1600 CL6 was pretty cool on Stars chips that had igps that didn't like high memory clocks.

The wife still has these in her home system atm.

Is a bit of an oddity, they didnt even sell the for very long at the time, I managed to get one set then.

OCZ Blade Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1200 (PC2 9600) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ2B1200LV4GK


Is like an ancient thing these days I guess.

Is still in use

 

[tweakboy]

Not that impressive.

 

[RaistlinZ]

G.Skill is all I buy.

 

[Arachnotronic]

I've had very good luck with G. Skill.

 

[tweakboy]

THey have great support.

 

[myocardia]

I refuse to buy any other brands of RAM than G.Skill or Crucial, and Crucial is a distant second compared to G.Skill, imo. The only reason I went Crucial for this build is they had low-latency and low-profile DDR3L, and G.Skill only had one or the other, at least at the time.

 

[Shmee]

Gskill may be the best as of late, nudging out corsair for pricing and reliability of high end kits. It certainly is up there, at least.

 

[escrow4]

I prefer Kingston overall, with G-Skill a close second, and Patriot a distant third. Kingston seems to be the AK of RAM, especially the basic KVR.

 

[bryanl]

There's no such thing as 2800 or 3000. The fastest chips are 2400, and only 2133 is used.

Selected are 2800, 3000, 3200, 3300, 3333, and 3400.

 

[Topweasel]

He is obviously thinking of DDR3 and missed the DDR4 portion.

Brianl, as a tip before you post haughty, superior post, where you are correcting someone. Take the 10 seconds to google it.

Currently using G-Skill and no issues at all.
