Review: Faulty DIMM, fast replacement - I built my i7 machine about a year ago and I used this memory kit for 6GB of RAM I recently decided to upgrade to 12GB, so I ordered another kit of the same RAM. I installed it and had some trouble getting the BIOS or windows to recognize it. It only showed up as 4 GB now even though I had 6 in there before. After a bit of trouble shooting and trying each DIMM one at a time, I figured out that one of the new DIMMs was bad. Which ever slot it was in prevented everything above it from working. If I install DIMMs into slots 1,2,3,4,5 I have 10 GB reported by the BIOS, if I stick the bad DIMM in slot 6, it reports 8 GB. So I originally installed the bad DIMM in slot 4 and thats why my RAM was reported lower than normal. I RMA the kit back to desertcart. they are really great. They shipped the replacement same day and sent a UPS truck to come and pick up the bad kit. All at no expense to me. Very nice. I placed the RMA request last night and the UPS truck came to my door today to pickup the bad kit today around 3:00pm. Tracking shows the replacement RAM will be here in 2 days. As for the RAM itself, I can review the old set I'm using. I've never had any trouble with it. I tried the XMP profile and it works well. Though I don't use XMP since I can't overclock with it on. I never had any system stability issues what so ever. Oh, one thing. I had a huge aftermarket cpu cooler it looks like it could block the DIMM2 slot(closest to CPU), especially since these DIMMs are very tall due to their heatsink, but I was surprised and relieved that I could install them without removing the cpu cooler. But the CPU fan bracket, once clipped back onto the CPU cooler, will barely touch the RAM heatsink. Its no big deal. UPDATE: The replacement RAM arrive today, I popped it in and it is working great. Windows reports all 12GB from both kits now.
Review: waste of money - It's a piece of crap, computer freezes all the time. Not useful one bit. I think the seller sold me bad memory. I put my old memory back and wallah!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Bang for the Buck
*by G***A on July 10, 2009*

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 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 and Amazon shipped them out quickly.
