G.Skill settles $2.4M class action over misleading RAM speed marketing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

G.Skill has begun distributing a $2.4 million settlement to consumers who purchased certain DDR4 and DDR5 memory kits. The class action lawsuit alleged that G.Skill misled customers by not clearly stating that advertised high speeds required overclocking. While G.Skill denied the claims, the settlement includes cash payouts ranging from $20 to $25 per claimant and requires the company to add explicit disclaimers about overclocking requirements to its packaging and product listings.
