Cons: None
Pros: -Works as expected-Looks Great-Black PCB Comment:
Bought it when it was $39.99.On my motherboard (ASUS P8Z77-V PRO), I had to first install them in single channel mode, go to BIOS, then select an XMP profile. Turn off the computer, switch it to dual channel mode, then the computer will POST in dual channel mode. Otherwise it would fail to boot. Other than that it works very well, haven't tried overclocking or undervolting yet. |

Cons: -PLASTIC Heat Sink-1 module was completely defective, caused computer to not POST-Other module had many bad addresses when tested using Memtest86+ v4.2
Pros: -Inexpensive (~$30 on sale and after $10 MIR)-Potentially good performance, but I won't know until replacements arrive (which I guess makes the lifetime warranty a big PRO) Comment:
This is my first NCIX review.Biggest reason I am giving a poor review: FAKE HEAT SINKS. Why even put them on there? Just for esthetics? I would think that the plastic heat-sink would just insulate the RAM more than they would dissipate heat (but hey, what do I know?).Secondly, maybe I just got unlucky with a bad batch but one of my modules caused the computer to not POST and the other worked by itself but had many bad addresses that caused system instability and BSODs referencing memory addresses.This is my first time buying Patriot memory, and probably will be the last (Still getting replacement through the lifetime warranty though). My main computer uses G.skill Ripjaws and my brother uses Mushkin (neither of us have had any problems) - granted they were quite a bit more expensive, but I'd say worth it - especially since their heat sinks are REAL. |

Cons: none yet
Pros: Works, Price, Appearance Comment:
For $35, you can't go wrong with these. Ram is ram. As long as i can get 8GB for around that price, I'll be happy. 1.5v is great for Ivy Bridge. Very overclockable. Highly recommend when on sale. Will buy again next year if still available to make my system 16GB |

Cons: CAN'T THINK OF ANY
Pros: GOOD PRICE Comment:
as the price of 12800 DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 ram drops everyday,many brand, various version...for the same price....I don't even bother to look into the detail. I bought this one based on the brand and price. |

Cons: - One of the 2 memory module didn't work when received.
Pros: - Really great performance when they work Comment:
I ordered almost a complete system a month ago.When everything was correctly installed, the system dit boot up, but only for 2 seconds.After trying many things, I finally came to the conclusion that 1 of the 2 memory modules didn't work.BUT, thanks for the wonderful customer service from NCIX, they have been replaced really quickly.Now it works like a charm !!! |

Cons: Not sure what's so special about these RAM, for the price you would be paying
Pros: It works.Nice looking heat spreaders Comment:
Bought these on sale at 34 dollars, surely wouldn't of bought it at it's normal price, not sure what's so special about them. Enough ranting, it works out of the box with really nice metallic blue heat spreaders on them, they look sexy, that's for sure. |

Cons: none
Pros: sexy look, awesome stable performance Comment:
Picked these up for $30, they look great and perform even better. Turned on the XMP profile right out of the box and they took off without a hitch. Though most patriot RAM I find overpriced, these definitely satisfy for what I paid for them, and they match my case color perfectly. |

Cons: It,s made by Patriot not that thats bad i would just like to see REAL Intel made Performance ram, unless they are ??
Pros: Nice heatsink feels cold. Looks nice in a Z77 MSI Big Bang. Not a single issue so far it's very solid ram. Ram doesn't feel cheap either. I'm an intel buyer for reasons like this. Comment:
If you want a stable system get it, in fact just buy the stuff no matter what it's great ram. |

Cons: limited edition
Pros: looks nicelimited edition Comment:
overall decent ram without any reall flaws to it other than the fact that this is (limited edition?) blue Patriot Viper 3 RAM. As a ram kit it is fine and would be nice on a generally mid level pc. tested for 3 Hours using various programs including games and various editing software. would purchase again if I need more blue ram and if its still available |
Very good product. Quality is top notch. The heat shield is actually aluminum over copper not plastic and it's very effective.. do some research before posting bad infos.
