Review By Fernando Garcia (LA, California) :
When I was building my gaming rig I accidentally installed the memory the wrong way by the other end, so I started smelling some sort of fire-like smoke so I opened my case and saw the ram installed the wrong way so I immediately turned off the power supply and disconnected the cables,then I gently removed the memory from the DIMM hoping it will still work.
I waited about an hour before I would install it back again so before I did I called tech support and told them what happened,and may I say,they answered very fast just one minute after I called,he explained to me what to do and said that if it didn't work I will have to replace it free of charge with its lifetime warranty support,but I didn't have to,after I installed it again it work fine and had no damage what-so-ever. I would definitely recommend this and also say that I like there award winning ACC cooling technology.
Review By Brother John (MD, USA ) :
I purchased these recently for my i7 build and I wanted to keep the cost's reasonable. These were some of the cheapest 6GB 1600mhz kits I had seen available. Patriot has a good reputation and also offer a lifetime warranty so it wasn't a hard decision for me.
I got the sticks and popped them in my Asus P6T motherboard and it booted right up. Set the XMP profile and off I went with my RAM goodness. No issues trying to get them to run at the advertised speeds. Just worked... which is something that does not happen often in the tech world.
Basically, good RAM for the price, works as advertised.
