Settlement Overview

Angeion Group, a settlement administration firm, is calling for eligible G.Skill customers to claim their cash from the company. According to the firm’s X post, people who purchased a G.Skill DDR4 or DDR5 RAM kit may be eligible to receive a portion of the $2.4 million that G.Skill paid to settle the deceptive advertising case filed against it. Details of the settlement can be read in the original report on Tom’s Hardware: G.Skill settles with plaintiffs following $2.4 million class‑action lawsuit over advertised memory speeds.

The plaintiffs alleged that they were led to believe the advertised speeds were “out‑of‑the‑box” speeds requiring no adjustments to their PCs. They claimed 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, violating consumer‑protection statutes and breaching express warranties. While G.Skill refused to admit wrongdoing, it settled to avoid the uncertainties, burdens, and expenses of ongoing litigation.

Who Is Eligible?

• Purchased a G.Skill DDR4 memory module with a rated speed over 2133 MHz, or a G.Skill DDR5 module rated above 4800 MHz.
• Purchase date between January 31 2018 and January 7 2026.
• Residing in the United States.

If you have five or fewer claims, you do not need to present proof of purchase.

Payout Details

The total settlement amount is $2.4 million, but the amount each claimant receives will vary based on the total number of claims and several deductions:

• Administration costs: $295,000
• Attorney’s fees: up to $800,000
• Attorney’s expenses: amount to be determined
• Service awards to class representatives: up to $10,000

These deductions are reported by Claim Depot: . Consequently, the payout per claimant could be significantly less than the price of a high‑end RAM kit today, but every penny counts amid rising memory and storage prices.
