"The Court has not decided which side isright. G.Skill denies all claims of wrongdoing and denies that it violated any law."
— company will have to change its packaging and be clearer about overclocking and BIOS adjustments if approved
A class action lawsuit brought against G.Skill, maker of some of the best RAM for gaming and general computing applications, has been settled to the tune of $2.4 million. The company was sued over claims that it deceptively advertised and labeled the speed of DDR4 and DDR5 memory kits sold between January 2018 and January 2026. The company denies all wrongdoing, and the case was not decided in court.
As per documents from the case, the initial class action lawsuit was brought over claims “that G.Skill deceptively advertised and labeled the speed of its DDR-4 and DDR-5 DRAM (non-laptop) memory products with rated speeds over 2133 MHz or 4800 MHz, and that G.Skill is liable for violations of consumer protection statutes and breach of express warranty.” Specifically, the lawsuit seems to be about overclocking, noting plaintiffs represented allege “they were lead to believe that the advertised speeds were ‘out of the box’ speeds requiring no adjustments to their PCs.”

But… just G skill? Doesn’t literally every ram seller do the same shit or does G skill do some extra stupid marketing?
