I just got my last 4gb stick to finish out my 16gb on my current build. The first bit of this memory I purchased was for a dell I upgraded and it worked great. Since then I built a new machine and transferred the memory to that. I am currently running 16GB of this ram in my gaming computer, the ram is OC just a bit and the timings run great. This memory is awesome, have had no issue whatsoever.
Originally, I bought Corsair memory sticks. They're very pretty with tall heat spreaders and the specs were right. When I installed them I discovered that there was no clearance for my hard drive to install. This was maddening since I only needed a few more millimeters of clearance.
I learned a lesson there. Always check your installation clearances on everything, not just the usual CPU heatsink issue.
Reluctantly, I had to return my Corsair memory (which I'm sure was fine), and pay the return shipping, about $8.
I finished my build and started my computer with the Crucial sticks on Sunday, April 12th, 2015. Everything runs perfectly. I installed Memtest86
and did a very thorough 6 hour run. Not one error. Great!
Incidentally, if you haven't built a computer before, I strongly recommend that you download a free copy of Memtest86 and burn it to a blank CD.
The beauty of this program is that it is bootable and so not only does it test your memory while still returnable, but it also allows you to power-up your computer and confirm essential functions. My AMD processor runs at about 27 to 35 degrees Celsius during the Memtest.
Perfect for heating heat sink paste and bonding it to the CPU, as well as confirming monitor display and disc drive functions.
Best of all, this can be done without connecting your hard drive or "committing" to a specific Operating System.
This was my first use of Crucial RAM. I'm quite pleased with it and will consider Crucial for future memory needs.
Cheap and great, i suggest ;)

I decided to get 2 additional modules of 4GB each or total of 8GB. I almost purchased the Corsair Vengeance because of its popularity. But then I read how some users had fit and clearance issues with the Vengeance due to its size. To avoid that problem, I went with these Crucial Ballistix 2x4 GB modules.
Upon opening my desktop PC tower to install the Crucial RAM sticks, I was glad that I went with these Ballistix. They are the same height as the original RAM modules, and there is not much clearance. I removed the original 2x2 GB modules (already 6 years old) and put them in the slots that have been open since purchase. Then I inserted the Ballistix in their place to have them closest to the CPU. Installation was very easy and quick. Afterward, I verified that the system now recognizes that total RAM is now 12 GB (new 8G + original 4G).
It has been two weeks since I installed the Ballistix modules. So far no more crashes. Also everything just seems much quicker than before, especially when I have multiple applications running at the same time.
Very glad I purchased this item. I should have done this sooner.

EDIT: Just installed my Hyper 212 evo and the cooler with fan clears this ram in all four slots! excellent product.

EDIT: Just installed my Hyper 212 evo and the cooler with fan clears this ram in all four slots! excellent product.
Update: Issue has been resolved but took an incredible amount of effort on my part. One more star for actually sending a replacement for one of the modules this time without the brokerage.
8gb to me is enough, I never reached more than 5 or 6 when multi tasking with a VM (Android Andy) and playing a game.
CL9 is very good, in fact it is most of the time better to get a faster latency ram like CL9 at the cost MHz instead of going poor latency like CL15 with 2400MHz.
