Budget-friendly and great performance for AMD-based motherboards/CPUs.

These 2x DDR3 RAM memory sticks work well although I had to tinker with my BIOS settings and adjust the DRAM frequency (instead of Auto, I had to select 1333 MHz rather than 1600 MHz). I had to upgrade from my pre-built desktop's 2x 4GB DDR3 RAM memory sticks and since I have an AMD-based motherboard and CPU, I decided to try these AMD-only memory sticks.
Positive(s):
After finally configuring them properly, they do work as desired. Instead of paying double the price for similar but brand named RAM models, you get as good performance for half the cost.
Negative(s):
If you have any Video Scheduler Internal Error and other BSODs, try checking your BIOS settings and configure the DDR3 RAM to operate Manually at 1333 MHz. I thought Factory Resetting and numerous other alternative solutions would help, but it just so happens that setting the frequency one selection lower than maximum can do the trick - for me at least.
If you are on a budget, if you are running an AMD-based motherboard and CPU, give these a go if you are looking to slowly upgrade your setup like I am. If money is no issue and you have a motherboard capable of handling DDR4, then by all means go for what you believe is best.
The price and performance of these sticks is a good upgrade for myself on a strict budget. Delivery was also a day earlier than estimated which is also a plus in my books.
