CORSAIR DOMINATOR 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
Cons:I cannot install the 2 fans that came with the 4x2GB. I dont have the room ! The power supply cables are in the way. But you dont need the fans if you dont overclock. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS.
Pros:8GB of RAM should be enough when I will install WinDoes 7 PRO. This RAM is to replace 3GB (3x1GB). DONE. |

CORSAIR DOMINATOR 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
Cons:
- Included fan is loud- Fan is difficult to properly install- Replacement fans are difficult to find
Pros: - Sturdy, well built DIMM's- Good warranty from Corsair- Low timings at 1600MHz Comment:
I went from DDR2 to this RAM, and these DIMM's are very impressive. The build quality is wonderful, and these heavy matte black metal shrouds/heatsinks really give it a nice touch.I had high hopes about this RAM and the included Airflow fan, which looks very slick and minimal. Unfortunately, only the RAM was left to be desired. The Airflow fan, which to anyone who reads this takes two 60mm x 20mm fans; information I found impossible to obtain until I actually bought this memory kit. As most reviews say though - this fan is loud, hard to install, and generally not worth having in a quiet system.I also found that due to my motherboard, the airflow fan was nearly against my graphics card as well. I would only recommend this fan if A) you can find a replacement for the two 60mm x 20mm fans pre-installed andif it was easier to install.Fortunately, I don't have nearly enough to say about the DIMM's themselves. They preform very well with my processor, and I'm enjoying the 1600MHz in my AMD system. |
