  Thanks for posting this OP, with that said, even if the price is really good, I suggest people to be cautious of this one because it's not exactly a very known memory brand. Like I said in the previous post, I don't know about this…

  cant really comment about quality too.

  Always use Patriot, Corsair or Crucial

    blue2609 on 05/11/2015 - 14:17

    Same here, I had Corsair Vengeance series of RAM and now I'm using Kingston Hyper X series so I really can't say anything about this one.

      I will put in a good word for the Corsair Vengeance too, 32gB in an OC gaming rig for 4+ years now and not a single problem, nor a game or rendering program that it can't handle. Apparently it is enough for Google Chrome too, because I don't get the memes about it being RAM hungry, works fast and fine for me.

        Diff experience.
        Had Cosair Vengeance Pro 2 x 4gb for two years, one stick died this year.
        It gives BSOD during gaming and/or browsing.
        So much for the lifetime warranty, which I can not claim as the receipt is MIA.
        Need extra ram for my pre-orderd Fallout 4.
        Juggling between this or the 8gb SE cheap crucial's. Prob wont make much a difference in the end. /shrugs

        @ruthlesskid:

        i would get crucial over this.

        PNY is just generic stuff.

        @ruthlesskid: that is why I buy everything online these days, the reciept is always somewhere in my email. I bought my son a handheld document scanner, so he can scan his reciepts and send them to my email, so I know where they are too come taxtime.

        As Always, your rep for being helpful is revered, Easternculture =)
        Could I trouble you with one more question?
        Do you think my Z87-C board will be stable with Crucial DDR3L ram whilst the 4GB Vengeance Pro (1.5V) is running?
        Or
        I should just run one stick of the Crucial DDR3L ram for Fallout 4?
        OR
        Take another gamble with these babies?

        @ruthlesskid:

        TBH i always like running a pair of matched sticks in my mobo's.

        I would go with either option 2 or 3.

  nikkirose on 05/11/2015 - 14:21

  Great deal for the amount of RAm, but like the above posters, I am wary of an unknown brand. They do have the heat distribution fins I like though. Lifetime warranty and support, sounds good too.

  • 

    easternculture on 05/11/2015 - 14:28

    according to the reviews, they are on par with value ram.

    Also not good for overclocking

    • 

      nikkirose on 05/11/2015 - 14:31

      and I'm out! I don't think the latency is compatible with my board anyways.

      • 

        easternculture on 05/11/2015 - 14:37

        I think PNY is just one of those manufacturers that put generic RAM under fancy heat spreaders to make them look like high end stuff.

        There is a reason why this ram is CHEAP !

        put generic RAM under fancy heat spreaders

        They would most likely use Hynix/Micron/Samsung chips just like every other brand. They offer lifetime warranty and are an American based company so they should be a step above generic made in china stuff.

  Don't do it..

  I ordered a month ago 32gig ddr3-1600 kit.. which arrived DOA with at least 2 modules faulty.. currently awaiting replacement..

  I also had a cheap another PNY 16 gig kit ddr3-1600 kit.. which arrived today.. and guess what… just failed memtest at the standard rated setting as well…. I really don't know whether to get a replacement and just ask for my money back… currently attempt to use the kit at ddr3-1333 so I don't have to repeat the terrible experience I had with Amazon Returns…

  Quality control is simply awful with PNY…

  Its not worth the risk / time or effort..
