Has anyone tried the G.SKILL F2-8500CL5D? If so has anyone tried them in a Gigabyte board?

Just found the 2x2GB sticks on NCIX's special list for 119.99. That's a hell of a price for pc2-8500.

Think I'm going to order up some myself. Anyone want some 1 week old OCZ pc2-6400? Cheap?

For some reason, I feel that they aren't gonna clock much higher than rated...not that most ppl will need them to...

So how're they doing?

I just got 2x2gb of these on my gigabyte p35-ds3l. They run fine but I don't OC them. The NCIX guy said they won't OC well anyways. Right now, you just can't beat 2x2gb pc2-8500 at $150(NCIX) with a lifetime warranty.

I've been trying to RMA a set of Patriot RAM for the past month.... I've tried emailing them and calling them several times and I have yet to get someone to respond to my RMA request... I followed all their instructions on the website over and over again and still no reply.

for comparison I started and RMA request with Crucial for a set of Ballistix and the entire process from my first contacting them to me receiving the replacement RAM took about 2 weeks... this includes the time it took for me to mail them my bad kit to the time I received the replacements at my door.

I will NEVER buy Patriot memory again... EVER!
