Go to solution Solved by Opsilon,

well any manufacturer has low, mid and high end ram.

As far as i know and have read over the years Corsair and G.skill have best reliability, and i had some old Kingston ddr1 ram, still working, so i would not bash my hear too much, most ram today are good, so just keep an eye for a good deal on a 1600 mhz ram and you will be fine.

 

I use Corsair, my brother uses G.Skill, my parents use Kingston in their laptop, so from personal experience i recommend any of them. This does not mean that brands i mentioned can't fail, just that i did not hear or see them fail often!

RAM from any premium manufacturer should be fine.

Some good/great ram marques are Corsair and Kingston. If you can spare some fancy heatsink, then Samsung also offers some very decent overclockable RAM modules. :)

I had some bad experience with Patriot viper 3 series, a kit I bought when I put my PC together was DOA, but I took it to the store where I bought the parts and they replaced it for free with a 70$ more expensive corsair vengeance kit, I haven't had any issues since.
