Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file the G.Skill RAM claim?
Visit the official settlement website and submit the claim form before April 7, 2026. Class Action Buddy auto-fills the form using your saved profile so you can review, sign, and submit electronically in about 60 seconds.
How much will I actually get from the G.Skill RAM settlement?
The maximum payout is $50 (per the settlement terms: ~$10–$15 per module, up to 5 modules). Actual per-claimant amounts can be lower if more people file than the fund supports (pro-rata distribution), but the no-proof tier here is a stable estimate.
When does the G.Skill RAM settlement pay out?
Settlement checks typically arrive 3-9 months after the filing deadline (April 7, 2026), once the judge grants final approval at the fairness hearing. Track your specific claim status by logging into the settlement administrator's portal.
What if I bought G.Skill RAM at exactly 2133 MHz or below?
Lower-clocked DDR-4 modules aren't part of this class — the lawsuit was specifically about XMP/EXPO speed claims that the modules couldn't reliably hit.
How do I know what speed my RAM was rated for?
Check the SKU on the module label (e.g. F4-3600C16D-32GTZN means DDR-4 3600 MHz, well above the 2133 threshold) or look it up in CPU-Z.
