Hi everyone,

I have an old Asus P5B Deluxe mobo that I want to get 8gb or RAM for. I've found a company on Amazon called A-Tech who are selling RAM really cheap (LINK), and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the company or their memory?

It's considerably cheaper than buying branded stuff like Crucial or Kingston, so I'm wondering if it's a case of being too good to be true?!

Cheers for any help.

looking at the ratings for this vendor it seems people are happy with the memory.

there memory is 50% cheaper then the brand name and you get lifetime warranty.

Personally, I would buy it.

Check if the they have a (2x 2GB) kit

I bought a stick of this RAM last year and it seemed to work fine. I didn't not run it through tests, though. I used it for a couple months until my PC died. It was only 1GB and I have no use for a 1GB stick in any of my current systems.

One thing to note is that In Speccy, it showed as Kingston brand. Since I cannot imagine why Kingston would allow another company to slap it's name on their product and not change the brand info on the chip. Therefore, I have to deduce that A-tech RAM is Kingston B-stock. It might be OK, but it didn't pass Kingston's QC. Sort of like B-stock reject batteries that are bought by smaller companies and re-wrapped with their own brand.

The fact that the company only sells on 3rd party sites kinda makes me wonder.

Finally, what really makes me uneasy is that they claim on their ebay and Amazon pages that they offer a "lifetime warranty", yet the terms this warranty is no where to be found. They have a website, but it's always a mess and "under maintenance" so no warranty terms available there, either. http://www.atechmemory.com/ I have a feeling that lifetime warranty means lifetime of the RAM, in other words, when the RAM dies, it's lifetime has ended and therefore the warranty ends LOL.

Lot's of red flags, here.

i have those rams on my 5 pcs

used them with 990 790 motherboards.
used them with 7010 motherboards.
and now will use them with my 7020 9020 sff.

all of my pcs have 32 gb so 4 slots of 8 gb.

one of my pc was having intel motherboard with i5 3.3ghz it had two slots and run only two stick which was total of 16gb since I've moved to 790 990 and 7010 motherboards I had to order two more stick and they came as kingstone smaller in size than what he used to supply me I guess as you said old stock or new stock and I still don't know if they work with my old rams yes both are ddr3, now I'll try to use only two stick and then 4 stick and see if this boots up with 7020 and 9020 maybe this was why I wan't able to boot to bios.

But at the end they are very cheap and very fast in shipping and never got any problem with them I even made one mistake which was my power supply in 120v didn't change the switch to 220v and I was shocked that the power supply would burn or motherboard or cpu or even the ssd but thanks god only the fuse in the connection plug fried changed that 15 amp and everything worked without any problem.
