G.SKILL PIS Series 4GB Kit 2000MHz (F3-16000CL6D-4GBPIS)

Since the launch of the LGA 1156 socket from Intel, memory manufacturers have been releasing memory kits targeted directly at the new platform. These kits market themselves as being specifically engineered for i5/i7 CPUs so its easy to buy one kit over another for the sake of comfort. The truth is, hardware enthusiast care more about performance than "engineered" compatibility. G.SKILL has been making affordable memory DIMM's since 1989 and if you've built a computer within the past 2-3 years, you more than likely know exactly who G.SKILL is. It's hard to look passed G.SKILL's value line of memory especially if you're on a budget, but what about the hardcore enthusiast? With their PI Series line of memory, G.SKILL has been known to offer high frequency compatible memory at decent pricing. This DDR3, 2000MHz, 4GB dual channel kit we received from G.SKILL is no exception. With 6-9-6-24 2N timings and 2000MHz of frequency to play with, we were very eager to see what this PI Series kit was capable of. G.SKILL packaged this 4GB kit in a thick cardboard box that came with additional cardboard within for added protection.
