What happened
Class period: January 31, 2018 through January 7, 2026
Plaintiffs Tristan Hurd and Ken DiMicco filed a class action lawsuit alleging that G.Skill International Enterprise Co., Ltd., G.Skill USA, Inc., Neuteck, Inc., and Racerspeed, Inc. deceptively advertised the speeds of their DDR-4 and DDR-5 non-laptop DRAM memory products. Plaintiffs allege they were misled into believing the advertised speeds were achievable right out of the box, when in reality they required BIOS adjustments or overclocking. G.Skill denies all wrongdoing and denies violating any law. Both parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs and uncertainties of continued litigation.
