Anyone know if PNY memory is any good

[museprime]

My build is almost complete but I need to wait for my corsair memory to show up. in the meantime I was going to get this from Bestbuy. Does anyone know PNY is good, standard or bad?

I wouldn't choose it. I'd wait till the ram I ordered turned up.

Why? Is it bad.

Its not a mainstream brand that is known to be reliable.

It generally works, haven't been hands on with it all that much (rigs brought in with problems or for upgrades that have it), most I've seen has been sort of value DRAM type sticks with higher CLs

I guess I've been looking to start building this new rig and just needed some ram in the while I wait for the good ram to show up.

Been there done that, luckily, systems are my business so I keep a number of sets around 😉

Ok great. I just don't want it to screw anything up. And besides if I end up keeping I'll put in it in my old rig. At least it will be decent enough to keep. Memory for some odd reason was the last thing I decided to get. I was deciding on color and style lol.

I mean I have PNY flash sticks and I they work well for me. Never used the ram before though. So a-ok?

Yes, should be fine 😉

I actually really lucked out. 16gb for 30 bucks and I got a corsair h100i for $50 from bestbuy because fry's has it for $50 and bestbuy price matched

My intent was to go in and grab a h100i GTX but since this price was better I had to pull the trigger. So they have to ship it.

Also I heard that the h100i GTX is a very tight fit on 250D even thought all corsair cooler I supposed to fit their cases. Thoughts?
