G.Skill Sniper 1866-919 Memory Module 8 GB (1866 MHz, 240-Pin DIMM, 2 x 4 GB) DDR3-RAM Kit

This is some very good 1866MHz G. Skill Uniquely Built Sniper Heat-Spreader RAM. I bought 2 for a total of 16GB for my gaming rig and now it blazes through the competition..and of course the great inter-web as well. It is some very reliable, dependable, and super fast RAM for the money. So if you're in the budget for some really fast Gaming RAM Sticks then these may be your best bet. They even work great at 1600MHz as well..and either way they still don't get too hot..just barely warm. Also..one other thing to make note of is that the mechanics used to design this RAM is really high-tech and top of the line quality engineering. You can tell just by looking under the heat-spreaders that there isn't much RAM out there like this RAM. Overall I am very satisfied with this Ram. 5 out of 5 stars! :]

Great RAM to go with my 8-Core AMD! It is not the SUPER expensive crazy specs of the enthusiast RAM out there from Corsair, etc when you get down to the nitty gritty, but who cares? I runs X.M.P. specs no problems, is a great price, and as a bonus looks pretty neat. Never had an issue with G.SKILL RAM and have owned all different brands over the years.

Pretty sure I bought this with my fx-9370 processor. Worked great all the years u had that ram. No issues.

I bought these specifically because they matched the timings of my existing modules. The motherboard detected them with ease. Performance is as expected.

Before I write this I feel you should know that I do build my computers but I'm not too up on the intricacies of ram and usually only marginally overclock.That being said, I opted for G.Skill sniper partially because of my CPU cooler and partially because of the track record this company has. Previously (my last build was about 7 years ago) I opted for OCZ ram but they seem to have fallen off.For the CPU cooler, this RAM is low profile enough to fit the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO (what I ended up purchasing) and the Noctua NH (which is what I was considering before I decided that I did not overclock that much). You don't need a 3rd party cpu cooler necessarily, but 3 builds ago my stock cooler couldn't handle my massive college Oblivion gaming session and fried my mobo, so I've purchased one ever since. This was also caused by not having a good case for gaming (I opted for a silent one which at the time meant no-airflow) - which I've also rectified by getting a fractal define r4 case (which I also recommend - but you can get cheaper ones that are just as good).As for 1866 over 1600, the 1866 was cheaper when I purchased so I went with that.BuildFractal Define R4 caseAsus Z87-PLUS motherboardi5-4670kCooler Master Hyper 212 EvoExtra fan for cooler masterThis Ram250 g Samsung solid state EVO (just for C drive and the few games I play)1tb western digital black hd (scavenged from my old build)1tb western digital blue hd (back up)Nvidia Geforce 460se (scavenged from old build - I mostly play Oblivion, Thief, Dishonored type games so I don't need an uber graphics card).Windows 8 (took some getting used to but I now like it.

These are really great ram modules for gaming and running intense applications. They run cool especially in my mini-itx build. What made me purchase them was the look of them and because I have used G.Skill ram modules before, my previous ram was G.Skill Ripjaws 1333mhz, so these are a great boost on performance for responsiveness on open applications.

Bought this set as a replacement for the exact same memory that I purchased a year and a half ago at newegg.com. It's fast and overclockable (not going to o/c this time around) but, like I mentioned earlier, one stick burnt out after 1.5 years of use. Unlucky? my crappy over clocking skills? poor manufacturing? Who knows, so take this 3 star review with a grain of salt.

Upgraded older i7 system that had a pair of these already. New sysbd has 4 slots now and added another pair for total of 16gig. I checked sysbd mfg site and these where on the compatibility list. No complaints, no issues, worked as expected.
