Any one have experience with G.Skill memory?

My local store is having a combo deal. An E8400 with a P45 and these G.Skill DDR2 4gb chips.

I've never heard of G.Skill for memory. Usually I just buy corsair. Anyone try these, or know anything about them?

Its works fine. No problems so far. I would go for it. Plus if the memory is a problem just bring it back to the store for direct replacement.

I've used G.Skill for my laptop before, and it has been working flawlessly. Never tried their desktop stuff, but I would bet that it is fine.

Ah, good =)
Never seen them on the market before, so just wanted to make sure it's not some kind of cheap crud from a certain third world country.
Thanks for the replies!

BTW Newegg carries the memory for a great price.

G. Skill is hardly 'cheap crud' LOL. Although the memory you asked about is not Micron, it is one of the better chips from one of the largest Japanese chip makers powerchip I believe. The RAM easily clocks to 1200MHz. with loose timings.

^ mushkin ram is the best imo... I got 2 GB mushkin pc2 8500 5 5 4 12 timings and i'm currently running the ram at 1200 mhz at 5 4 4 12 timings... great stuff right there =D

That's the ram I use, good stuff. Powerchip I believe. Not the best o'cr but stable.
I run it either @ 1000 or 1018 5-5-5-12

I'm running that exact same memory at 4x2gb for a total of 8gb on my system. Have had it for about 7-8 months now and I have never had a problem with it. It is rated at 1000mhz but I have it at 1066mhz@2.1V.

I haven't used their DDR2 ram, but I have some Gskill DDR1@400MHz in a machine at my place. Works fine, overclocked to 225 without having to overvolt or loosen timings. While not the "best", its fine to use it.

Same here. 8 GBs run at 1066Mhz. 5-5-4-13, the way I like it. At 2.1v and increase NB voltage to 1.45-1.5v stable for months.

On another note I have this G. Skill kit running in a P965 at 900MHz. 2.1v at 4-4-4-12! It 2 x 1 GB kit so I bought another one.

The kit above runs as tight as these Micron chips. I have 5 gigs of this. Great RAM.

The PC28000 MHz. kit OP listed is a solid, good performer for 4 gigs at 85 bucks. Great deal
