Recently, renowned memory manufacturer G.Skill, accused of misleading claims about the speeds of its DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules, has officially begun distributing compensation to consumers involved in a $2.4 million settlement. The lawsuit alleged that G.Skill engaged in deceptive advertising and specification labeling for its desktop DDR4 (rated speeds exceeding 2133 MHz) and DDR5 (rated speeds exceeding 4800 MHz) memory products sold between January 31, 2018, and January 7, 2026. Eligible consumers, defined as those who purchased the aforementioned memory products in the United States during this period, are entitled to compensation, with typical amounts ranging between $20 and $25. In addition to cash compensation, G.Skill has committed to updating product packaging and online listings to clearly indicate that achieving the stated speeds requires overclocking and BIOS configuration adjustments.
