        Satisfied

        Installed on Z97X gaming 3 motherboard, fits just below the ventirad and works well. Just perfect!

        It works!

        Good advice, product received quickly, and... it works. The swap space is no longer used. Response times have suffered as a result!

        Very good.

        Not much to say about DDR3 arrays. No installation problems. They work.
        Very good reception in the shop in Cormeilles en Parisis.

        You can feel the difference!

        They give a new lease of life to my ancestor PC (which is approaching 10 years old)! Despite some rare XMP dropouts in the BIOS due to the age of the CM, they are running well at 1600Mhz.

        Good product and very fast delivery

        The memory set is working properly.
        Config : I5 4690K + CM MSI Z97 PC Mate + 2x4GB Gskill Ripjaw X + 2x 8GB Gskill Ares bought and installed recently, total 24GB.
        Set to XMP in the BIOS, the memories run well at 1600MHz CAS 9/9:/9/24 like the 2x4GB Ripjaw.
        I ordered it on Friday morning and it was delivered on Saturday lunchtime, thank you and congratulations for the fast delivery by Chronopost.
        I'm very happy with the memory and the LDLC service.

        Gives air to an old configuration

        This 2 x 8GB DDR3 kit was added to an old AMD Phenom based configuration that was choking on its original 4GB. Now that the swap file is not so much in demand, Cities Skyline and other games are playable again.
        The heatsink doesn't stick out too much, which makes it possible to insert the sticks under my be quiet! Shadow Rock LP ventilator.

        Excellent product and excellent service

        I had two 8GB memory sticks in my PC, and with these I have 24GB, which is great.
        I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product.

        Great!

        I couldn't find any CAS CL8 sticks and they are no longer on sale. I finally opted for new CAS CL9 strips to boost my old PC equipped with 2x4 GB of ram. So I changed to 2x8 GB of ram. A second youth, what a joy! It's great!

        Great delivery and product

        This kit was installed on an Asus MAXIMUM V FORMULA motherboard on which a 2x8GB kit of the same brand and series was already present. The memory capacity was thus increased to 24GB (all slots are now occupied). The installation went without a hitch and the system booted up the first time it detected the actual capacity.

        The purpose of the machine is to serve as a small Hyper-V server (for 2-3 VMs). For the time being, there are no performance concerns to report, despite the use of four RAM bars in dual channel mode. However, it is possible that the extra load on the memory controller is invisible to the naked eye.

        This product, along with LDLC's fast turnaround time, made me very satisfied.

        No worries

        Wanting to boost an ageing configuration, based on I3, gygabyte P55 motherboard, ultra simple installation, competitive price, fast delivery.....Note the performance improvement (8gig of ram before), I recommend.

        Good material

        I went from 8g to 16g with these bars and nothing to say. The performance is good.
        The size of the strips makes it easy to place them (if not much space is available because of the processor fan).
        I recommend this brand and I use it frequently.

        Good performance!!!

        I'm not sure what to say about the choice of the memory sticks, like many, it was to go from 8GB to 16GB and the difference is there, both in my applications and in the games. and as usual, thank you LDLC for your speedy delivery in Martinique!

        Great!

        Bought to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB, these are great. Coupled with a Noctua, there is no problem of space. The design is not great, but once in the case, the performance is great (that's the main thing!).

        Big up for the delivery service and LDLC :)

        for the future

        I wanted to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB for Just Cause 3 but I was a bit late, for now it doesn't change much but for the near future probably, and the red colour will go well with my future MSI purchases.

        Perfecto

        Not at all disappointed with these ram strips as much for the design (there are some for whom it counts) as for its performance, 16 GA of RAM is largely the case and in CL9 even better, I use these ram strips on a motherboard MSI Z97-G45 Gaming.
        Does its job, Good Buy

        At the top.

        This memory strip kit installed in dual channel on a MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming motherboard and overclocked to 2133 MHz, works very well! I took 16 GB of ram to be able to play Metal Gear Solid V without having to activate the swap file (virtual memory) because with 8 GB of ram by deactivating it I had systematically error messages concerning the memory while playing MGSV, now it is not the case any more with these G.Skill strips, all works perfectly.
