TechieTwo THIS IS A DISGRACE AND ABUSE OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. If you're buying memory and have NO CLUE what the default frequency is and that OC'ing in the BIOS is mandatory to run beyond the DEFAULT frequency, then you have zero business F'en with a PC device – PERIOD. These siren chasing bogus lawsuits should be tossed but in the U.S. the judicial system is used for Jackpot Justice to enrich paid liars and irresponsible personal behavior. Reply

thestryker This seems to be about Team Group cutting their losses due to the prior G.Skill case. While I don't particularly agree with the merits of these cases memory packaging is awful. The kit in my current system for example: Has a sticker showing 8000MHz in the upper right which is literally false. Lower right has a combination XMP 3.0 and EXPO sticker. There's nothing else on the package regarding operation and of course no documentation inside. I'm not sure of the best way to resolve this issue, but what's there now is objectively bad. Memory is also the only component which requires user intervention to run as advertised and may not run as advertised period. Reply

That way they cover their butts from these type of lawsuits & the tech people still know how fast they can go. Will say I don't agree w/ the lawsuit myself but i'd still never turn down free* money from the ram i bought for last build. Reply
