Comment:
Overclocked to 1633 MHz running incredibly smoothly.Scored a 7.four in WEI (Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit) stock, WEi is not reporting anything with overclock.Heatsinks do the job, incredibly cool. None Very pleased with this purchase. Was afraid at initially they might be damaged right after initially ordering a DOA motherboard, but popped them in and they worked perfect away when the new motherboard arrived.*As a lot of have noted they were set to 1333MHz at firs boot, but it was fixed in about 5 seconds and was the motherboard default for my setup.

Comment:
Idiot proof. Cost! I had purchased 2 x 2GB a year ago, and just purchased two X 2GB far more. Granted it was a third of the cost I paid final year (yay promo codes and rebates!!). I've got this paired with my i5 with the XMP set for 1600 Mhz. Amazing stuff! None.

Comment:
I've now ordered two sets of these. With the initial pair, 1 of the sticks was poor and causing the occasional BSoD. Following narrowing down what it was, I contacted Corsair, and had an advance RMA to me inside a week. I ordered a second pair, and these worked perfectly. As I stated, with the 1st pair, one stick was poor. But these items take place, and Corsairs handled it great. I won't deduct an egg for it. As other people have stated, these tend to show up at 1333 default. It's not hard to change although.

Comment:
Excellant Ram for the income, Rapidly and effiecent, employing this in a Gigabyte UD5 board with no problems, just set the ram to 1600 in the BIOS and the Voltage to the correct level the RAM calls for and off you go. NONE Just a great item for the cash, no regrets

Cons:none

Pros:it's ram; works as intended1600MHz/9cas is good
Comment:
It's about as basic as it gets. Worked on my MSI P67A G43 MB + i5 2500k combo, overclocked at 4.4GHzThe memory had to be tweaked in the BIOS to use the correct speed and timings (defaulted to 1333 cas-10).

Affordable when on sale. Have always had excellent results w/ Corsair RAM. Rebates came through. Bought two of these ƒx2GB) sets and 1 of the four sticks died within a day. Memtest errors all over the place. RMA in progress.

Cons: none

Pros: 1600mhzlooksprice
Comment:
Low profile ram, installed easily under a corsair a70. My mother board detected it right away without any problems. Snagged this for 39.99 and looks not too bad, it actually looks cool in a black case. worked well with an athlon 450 and windows 7.4gb 1600 ram for 40 bux is practically stealing! I will definitely buy an extra 4gb in the future, and would use in all builds. Highly recommend to people on a budget to consider buying this ram.

CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
Cons: - None

Pros: - Working great
Comment:
Used these in a budget build with a MSI 870-G45, oc/ul AMD X3 445 and a Radeon HD 5850. Just ran through Dead Space 2 on highest settings without any issues. Great RAM for a great price ($38 w/MIR).Also, I lucked out big time when I purchased these. I also have the A50 cooler, which is big, and the mobo puts the RAM under the A50. If I had of chosed a set with big heat syncs I would have been in trouble.Lifetime warranty and RMA to Canada, what's not to like?

Cons: none

Pros: AffordableTrusted brand name
Comment:
This is the second set for the same machine that was built over a year ago. The additional 2 sticks are working flawless alongside the originals on a core i5 Gigabyte P55A-UD3. I've read that using 4 sticks may limit the overclock, I haven't tried to push my i5-750 over 3.7Ghz yet and it works the same as before and after I installed the additional RAM.

I picked these up for $34.99 after $10 MIR and before tax. They are exactly the same as the ones I bought about a year ago but 1/3 of the price. I plugged them in and they work.

Cons: none

Pros: Corsair dependability
Comment:
I originally bought two sticks of this RAM and later upgraded to four. Sure, it isn't the fastest RAM available, but it has been very dependable. I trust Corsair and none of their products have let me down yet.I have not overclocked the memory, so I cannot say how well it performs under stress.I would recommend this product to a friend.

Pros: Reliable, fairly inexpensive
Comment:
This is just some solid RAM. It's worked without problems for months. I haven't overclocked or really made it work too hard but it works really well if you just need some dependable memory for a new build.

Comment:
Put this in a system with a AMD 955BE and an ASUS M4A79XTD Evo motherboard and everything is working fine. Decent ram for a budget gaming rig, given the price. Might be overkill if you're just planning to surf the web.

Cons: MIR

Pros: BrandPriceSpeed
Comment:
I had initially picked up a set of these for my system overhaul in February 2010, and they've been running at rated specifications just fine ever since. About a month ago, I also got a second set, as with the amount of virtualization I do, I really needed the extra RAM. 8Gb of this only required a slight bump of the CPU vtt voltage on my Core i5 750 running at 4Ghz. Overall, very impressive. I do a lot of gaming, virtualization, and general heavy multitasking, and I have had no issues with 2 kits of this RAM running together in an overclocked system.Highly recommended.

Pros: - good for gaming- affordable- reliable brand- fast
Comment:
not much to say about these, they work great and chew through almost all the tasks I do on my quad core build no problem, I rarely use more than 3GB of 4GB at any given time so won't need to upgrade for a fair bit (and even then would only be another 2GB most likely)could look nicer I suppose but I don't have a windowed case or anything so meh.recommended

Very good for a budget PC, but not for extreme gamers or overclockers. Looks very cheap on the outside, so I'd rather get Dominator next time to stay on the cool and safe side.

When you put it in Asus P55 motherboard, nothing came out screen even no beep, then I changed Kingston one, the motherboard booted up. A few weeks later, I put it in my other board, this time it made compute work.
