Sport 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory - BLS4G3D1609DS1S00

The only two brands I trust for my SSD's are Intel and Crucial, mainly used Corsair RAM in my main builds...but my next build may be getting a crucial kit after being impressed by this package.Worked out of the box with an unidentical stick of 4GB Patriot Intel Extreme Masters RAM with same timings. Using in my HTPC with AMD FX 8350 and MSI 970A-G46 w/8GB RAM with 2x Radeon 6850 in Crossfire (I know, dinosaur GPU.)Packaging was a tease (2xDIMM retail package with just the one stick) but was clearly labeled 4GB and fully sealed. The heat shield is a nice aesthetic touch in my Cooler Master HAF-XB EVO while chilling (literally) under a CM Hyper 212 cooler, no fitment issues (for those who have large coolers). I got lucky and the blue of the Patriot stick and the Black/Silver of the Crucial stick compliment my build fairly well.I run Steam in-home streaming, Plex Windows Server, Kodi, torrent clients, and a few Linux VM's simultaneously off of a Crucial M500 240GB SSD and the 8350 can really stretch its legs in this build.BIOS reported correct speed upon install, I'm a bit tired of seeing reviews that cry foul about the RAM being faulty when it loads up as 1333mhz or so. Ever consider that it's your motherboard, not the RAM, that is causing you such injustice?TL;DRFast, cheap, reliable. Like a used Miata.

Great RAM! Works GREAT EVEN IN THE OLDER DELL OPTIPLEX 780 BUSINESS SYSTEMS. I UPGRADED THIS 4 Year Old Dell with 16Gig DDR3 RAM, And Intel CORE 2 DUO. I am a Computer Engineer at Intel Corporation! This Computer is Running Faster and Better than a NEW Desktop with 8Gig and an i5 Microprocessor. People do not understand, it is NOT the Microprocessor Speed that makes the computer run Fast! IT IS THE VIDEO MEMORY & THE RAM and BUS SPEED which is where your Bottle Neck is in a Computer. A 5 Year Old Intel PC with a High End Video Card and 16Gig DDR3 Memory SMOKES! There is no need to waste your money on a new $1500 Desktop when you can get a $70.00 Dell Optiplex, HP, Gateway, or Whatever Quad Core Intel and MAX OUT THE RAM & VIDEO CARD and BAM!

When I was looking at the memory on the site, I was trying to figure out for sure if it would work in a Dell Optiplex 390. All the specs seemed to match up of the memory I needed, but I couldn't find confirmation from anyone. I went ahead and bought the memory hoping it would work.... and IT DID!!!! It works great in a Optiplex 390. I bought the 2x4 8GB kit. All the model numbers were for the non ballistix cruial memory but I was really happy to find that this memory will work in the 390. It was a huge upgrade over the stock 4GB of slow ram that was in the computer. Just wanted to share this information in hopes it will help others. This memory should also work in the Optiplex 3010s as well, probably most "I Series" processors in the optiplex line of computer. I couldn't be happier with the Ram, product arrived on time in perfect condition.*UPDATE 4-20-15*I just got my last 4gb stick to finish out my 16gb on my current build. The first bit of this memory I purchased was for a dell I upgraded and it worked great. Since then I built a new machine and transferred the memory to that. I am currently running 16GB of this ram in my gaming computer, the ram is OC just a bit and the timings run great. This memory is awesome, have had no issue whatsoever.

I built my first PC about a year and a half ago, and this is the RAM I decided to go with (because I had a low budget). I bought one 8 gig stick with the expectation that if I felt I needed it I would order more. Lately, I've been hosting a few servers off of my computer and my small amount of RAM didn't seem to do the trick. I ended up buying 16 gigabytes worth of RAM, just because it was so affordable.I would like to start by saying that the RAM itself works well! A lot of my stuff does seem to be functioning significantly faster, although I do think I would order one more stick, just so that I could have the full 32 gigabytes experience. I plugged my new RAM into the correct RAM (or at least I hope they were the correct ones) and my computer booted as it normally would and under system properties it did acknowledge the new RAM.The one issue I see to be having right now is my computer getting hotter than I am used to. My computer has a LED indicator that woks as a thermometer when it isn't screaming at me to fix some debug code. I cannot say for sure whether this is something that others have ran into, but I have noticed that when I enter an application that requires the extra RAM, my CPU heat seems to spike up about 15 degrees Celsius. I'm not too concerned about it, as my computer still hasn't passed 55 degrees Celsius.
