I purchased two sets of these to breathe a little life into an aging and struggling gaming rig. They slotted in easily, and though my CPU's 103 Cooler Master overlapped one of the slots, the memory's heatsink was just the right size to still fit underneath with a little clearance. Both sets were properly detected by the board and work perfectly.
I built this low-end system back in 2010. It is an AM3 system with an Athlon II X2 CPU. The original OS was Windows 7. I had originally installed 4GBs of RAM on it.
Like all Windows PCs, they bloat up and slow down over time. Then the unfortunate upgrade of Windows 10 came along, and RAM dependency of Windows and software increased exponentially over time. I think one of the biggest kickers was some of the patches Microsoft pushed through in January 2018 (Specter patch?) slowed things down the most. Long story short, 4GB of RAM was no longer enough and the computer turned into a hog.
Fast forward, Using Task Manager, I figured I needed to do two upgrades. The RAM the first and easiest upgrade. Amazon delivered within hours of when I ordered! And luckily I was visiting my mom's house when it came.
In 15min, I unplugged her computer, opened up the tower and popped these two DIMMs onto the motherboard. Closed it up. Plugged the wires back in. Started it up. BOOM! Computer went from 4GB of RAM to now 12GB of RAM. I went into some of the programs and websites she goes into and everything worked like a charm: Huge improvement! It is like a new computer.
Can't wait see what she thinks of the next upgrade when I do it.
Edit:
I saw some people complaining that this isn't working on their AMD systems - My only comments are:
(1) Check the Motherboard manufacturer
(2) If you are mixing 2 different type of RAM chips together, manually set the timing and speed of the RAM (via BIOS) to the lower-speced set of RAM.
(3) The Motherboard I Installed this on has a AMD 785G Chipset and AMD SB710 South Bridge.
One thing to watch out for. There were plenty of cards that had built-in heat sinks. I think this is a good idea. The width between card slots will probably always be sufficient, but you might want to be aware of the height available inside your box. The heat sinks make these cards a bit TALLER than normal. I was putting these in a SFF (small form factor) machine, where some of the RAM slots sit UNDER the hard drive. Fortunately, I had a pair of slots that weren't under the drive. But, you will want to verify you have enough clearance to install.
Overall, a great value.
