Angeion Group, a settlement administration firm, is calling for eligible G.Skill customers to claim their cash from the company. According to the company’s X post, people who purchased a G.Skill DDR4 or DDR5 RAM kits may be eligible to receive a part of the $2.4 million that the company paid to settle the deceptive advertising case filed against it.
The plaintiffs said that “they were lead to believe that the advertised speeds were 'out of the box' speeds requiring no adjustments to their PCs," and they alleged “that G.Skill deceptively advertised and labeled the speed of its DDR-4 and DDR-5 DRAM (non-laptop) memory products with rated speeds over 2133 MHz or 4800 MHz, and that G.Skill is liable for violations of consumer protection statutes and breach of express warranty." While the company refused to admit any wrongdoing, it decided to settle the case to avoid “the uncertainties, burdens, and expenses associated with ongoing litigation.”
Eligible claimants must have purchased a G.Skill DDR4 memory module with a rated speed of over 2133 MHz or a G.Skill DDR5 rated above 4800 MHz between January 31, 2018, and January 7, 2026, while residing in the United States. You also do not need to present proof of purchase if you’re making five or fewer claims. So, if you think you’re qualified to file a claim, you can fill out the claim form on the official Settlement Website until April 7, 2026.
However, even though the settlement amount is relatively large at $2.4 million, the amount each claimant will get will vary depending on the total number of claims. Claim Depot also reports several deductions from the total amount, including administration costs of $295,000, attorney’s fees of up to $800,000, attorney’s expenses (to be determined), and service awards to class representatives of up to $10,000. Because of this, the amount you get (if you’re eligible for the claim) could be significantly less than the price of one of the best RAM kits you can get today. But even if that is the case, every penny still counts, especially as we struggle with skyrocketing memory and storage prices.
