Good memory
works as it should . this was added to my 2 empty mem slots and it booted up just fine the first time. Different brand than my other but slot and speed are the same , timing was different but it works well. Passed a 1 hr Mem test program with zero issues .

A noticeable POP in speed! Pricing a bit steep at $67.99 (1600 is 7+ years old as-of 2021)
I used this to upgrade an 8+ year-old PC from 8GB to 16GB, running Windows 10. NICE and noticeable bump in performance, not only from the perspective of the added RAM capacity, but also the CL9 latency was a 28.5% speed improvement over the CL12 of the previous RAM. My SSD 'felt faster' due to improved caching via Samsung Magician "Rapid Mode", and everything was just better. I am a bit of power user, even if I'm running an 8yo PC. 24+ hours in, system has been perfectly stable, no issues with RAM. Patriot is a brand I trust, based on prior experience with their products. Features Rating info: Easy to install - 5 stars, but I'm an experienced PC tech. Doing this yourself is easy enough, if you know about things like static electricity, dust, and 'other'. If you don't know how to upgrade RAM, find some YouTube videos about it. For gaming - Yes, I am a gamer. Things will run faster because of the extra RAM. For FUN, I did create a RAMDISK (4 GB), and loaded the notoriously slow (beautiful otherwise) game GOTHIC 3 (2006) onto the RAMDISK. Teleporting, and other things were SUPER FAST AND SMOOTH!! Value for money - 2 stars might be generous. PC3-12800 RAM is somewhat outdated, especially for gaming PCs. It should not be priced where it is right now ($67.99), and really should be down around the $39.99/$49.99 price point. I probably should've bought faster DDR3 RAM, used it for now, then moved it to a semi-newer PC in the future. Personal note: I AM due for a new PC, just been holding off, just a bit too long due to Covid-19. Stay healthy, folks!

Great value for excellent performance
I purchased two of these memory kits for an older Shuttle SH67H PC with an Intel i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz and they fit and perform very well. Overall a very good value for a trusted name.

Upgraded a 10 Year Old Computer
I bought myself a new desktop. But my old desktop wasn't ready for the trash. Having a 2 TB Hard Drive, I thought it would be a waste to NOT try to update and upgrade a bit and give to my daughter for gaming. So, I deleted the partitions and started with a clean install of Windows 10 (computer was too old for Windows 11). The OLD RAM was 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 DIMM 1600Mz. So, I had 4 slots and could only max out at 32GB (4 x 8GB). I was worried about the new RAM being UDIMM. It worked with NO problems! I think it worked because I did not combine DIMM and UDIMM together. I honestly couldn't find just DIMM and all my research pointed to replacing all slots. Luckily my computer recognized the new RAM and I didn't have to go in the BIOS and have to do anything there. So, now my old computer is faster and better than my new desktop. LOL :)

Best Quality DDR3 RAM For $
Overall great product! Good quality materials and fantastic speeds! I've personally bought 1 of these kits from this brand. Great experience to use for PC builds. A bit higher in price compared to unknown brands but that's what you have to do if you want assured quality. Highly recommend! 👍

Legit
So far so good, upgraded from Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600mhz to Viper 1866 so i can have a fully matching 32GB kit, just ordered another kit as it works perfectly at the rated speed. Do keep in mind that it might default to 1333 or 1600 depending on your motherboard, so using XMP and setting the speed to 1866 may be required as i had to do.

Buscaba unas memorias nuevas DDR3 para mi placa Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SOC, la cual tengo más de 10 años en mi equipo principal. Las que tenía me estaban dando muchos problemas de reinicios en bucle, no cargaba el S.O, no podía ponerlas con su perfil XMP porque me petaban el equipo y la hora iba desfasada. Puse una fuente nueva más potente y funcionó un tiempo, pero cuando monté 2 discos en RAID0 volvieron los problemas. Creo que es por algún problema de voltajes, que me freían la placa y no me funcionaba correctamente. Probé a cambiar la pila por otra nueva y nada, seguía afectado por una pérdida de corriente que no sabía localizar. Fue comprar estas memorias (que aproveché para pasar de 16Gb a 32) e instalarlas y me equipo revivió como si nada. Definitivamente tenía mis anteriores memorias defectuosas. En la BIOS le puse su perfil XMP correcto y sin problemas. El PC va como un tiro. ESTOY MUY CONTENTO CON EL CAMBIO. Son unas memorias excepcionales, fáciles de configurar y a muy buen precio.

Ram läuft gut, Ram eingebaut, einmal BIOS geöffnet, da Rechner gemerkt hat das andere Riegel verbaut sind. Danach gestartet und läuft einwandfrei. Meine Problemprogramme die wegen Speichermangel Probleme machten starten sofort, da er jetzt nicht mehr so viel auf die Platten auslagert ist auch ein Geschwindigkeitszuwachs zu spüren. Würde ich wieder kaufen
