        almost perfect ...

        having another 2400 ram from another big brand, I had a bit of trouble getting them to run together, but in the end I run at 2200mhz which is already very good for mismatched ram ^^.

        One of the best DDR3 RAM Kits

        These ram are very good for DDR3 motherboards, they have no compatibility problems and work even better once XMP is activated.

        Does the job

        There's nothing special about these two Ram bars, is there?
        They fit perfectly into the slots provided.
        I haven't done a performance test, but since only one of the previous two burnt out (after 10 years of loyal service), I've got 24GB, and that's faster.

        What a joy

        I bought these to replace 2x 4GB at 1600 Mhz.
        The improvements are visible with the xmp profile of my motherboard activated.
        They fit under my fridge and are nice to see in my configuration.

        clear difference!

        The increase from 8GB to 16GB is clearly felt on the latest games and internet browsing. The product is perfectly packaged and well protected. Very fast installation. Nothing to complain about as usual with Ldlc.

        Very good quality ram

        I had 8GB of G.Skill 1600MhZ CL9 RAM and rather than upgrade to 16gb with the same memory I chose to change and I don't regret it.

        (at the same time the price of the 1600Mhz ram quantity being the same as the 2400Mhz did not help in my choice to just add 1600Mhz ram)

        Compared to my old RAM I had a gain of about 8-10% fps in a lot of games which is not negligible.

        The DDR3 ram reaches its peak performance at 2400Mhz and is more efficient than DDR4 at the same frequency since the latter uses a higher case.

        I would even say that this DDR3 is roughly equivalent in performance to a DDR4 2800Mhz CL14.

        I highly recommend it for all motherboard owners who only accept DDR3 and want to upgrade without changing.

        The new Intel i5 8600k, i5 8400k, i7 8700k processors don't accept DDR3 anymore and DDR3 is starting to wear out a bit over time but it still has a few years of life left in it.

        That being said, it's still relatively expensive for DDR3, but since I haven't found anything better at the same price, I'll have to make do.

        I'm using an i5 6600K oc at 4.2Ghz which combines perfectly with this ram.

        Excellent

        I still find the price excessive for DDR3 but it's the cheapest I could find in this price range and frequency, especially as I was limited by the height of the fan. Anyway, I bought them to upgrade my configuration from 8 to 16 on two strips. They work impeccably well.

        Updating the PC

        I've gone from 4GB of RAM to 16GB with these new bars. In addition to an update of windows in 64bits, in short a second youth for the PC. Very good value for money.

        I am very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. I have received a very good product and the response and return of a new one was very fast, I thank the team who took care of the order otherwise the Rams work very well and easy to configure.

        16 GBs that do their job

        in a mini i7 box that only had 2 memory slots, going from 4GB to 16GB makes a big difference
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same memory, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same memory, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same memory, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same memory.

        Does the job

        I bought it to replace Corsair RAM strips that died in quick succession.
        Now I know what I'm not going to buy anymore...
        The fact that they are low profile means that they can be installed without having to remove the CPU fan, so the replacement took less than 5 minutes.
        No problem with the bios, the pc booted immediately.
        I've never had any problems with G.SKILL.

        Great ram!

        It's sure that from 4GB of 433mh ram to this jewel, it really changes everything. It's a very fast delivery, great quality, great design, & very easy to install on a motherboard. Don't forget to switch the ram's to XMP to boost them!

        Quality, reliability

        And low profile, perfect if you have limited space.

        As the minimum RAM requirements for games and recent applications become more important, you should not hesitate to look for solutions with at least 16 GB.

        Works perfectly

        Only two bars, but they change life. Everything works smoothly, no slowdown or almost only when I shoot with several software that require a lot (Premiere, After Effects + browser and open background). In short, you can put this to the test without too much risk.

        Excellent, nothing to complain about.

        I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it on my computer, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it on my computer.
        The low profile is an advantage, in my case it runs perfectly under a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
        The performance is very good without overheating.
        I recommend it, absolutely nothing to complain about.

        There is a little better but much more expensive

        I took advantage of the improvement on the pris to not overdo it; the 2400 was the maximum supported by my new FM2+ motherboard and it was important that it was fast because the APU benefits directly from the RAM's performance in graphics.
        The result is excellent and I think I can do without CG.
        I could have saved a bit by putting CL10 but for a minimal gain and almost 50% more expensive...

        Not bad

        Strips do the job. Used on a Z97 Pro Gamer and an I5 4960K. No space problems.
        Detected at 1333MHz. You have to activate the XPM to switch them to a 2400MHz frequency.
        Result. Gain of 3 or 4 FPS on games that require resources.
        To sum up, the presence of extra MHz is not really an asset at the moment. Maybe in the future. A bit of a gimmick for me.

        The quality / price ratio is excellent. For less than 100€ it's really good.
