Functions like you expect RAM to operate. You plug it in and forget about it. This RAM is solid, runs cool and have not had any concerns. This is additional of a complaint about my MOBO than something but I had to play with my BIOS for this to function at 1600mhz. Defaulted to 1333.

Comment:
I have observed solid efficiency of this RAM on two systems. Personally, I run these on a ASUS P7P55D-E Pro motherboard with fantastic outcomes. Also, Corsair has delivered great consumer support. On the one occasion it was required, I went through the RMA method by way of the manufacturer. On the other hand, I can't list it as a con simply because it was completely painless and rather speedy. none Make positive to either allow XMP profile or set DRAM voltage to 1.65v by way of BIOS. These settings will absolutely contribute to stability.

ran good for a month and a day, died just following NewEggs return period long irrelevent form for rma from corsair challenging to diagnose as 1 stick was excellent the other one negative, so when they had been each installed it would do random shutdowns, no similarities in usage when it died, even often even though setting my bios it would die. Lastly tried each and every stick seperately and located that 1 would boot each time and run with no problems but with the other no boot at all Manufacturer Response:We have streamlined our RMA procedure as a lot as achievable whilst nevertheless collecting the required facts to correctly help you. If the form is not appropriate to you, you might also RMA by telephone.External Hyperlink(s): Corsair Contact Page|

Comment:
Performs well once it's configured appropriately. But if you just the BIOS do its own thing it'll set it at 1.5V and 1333. Not the worst issue in the globe, but that's not what you paid for! Nevertheless, if you're slightly far better than n00b (a n00b with just enough understanding to be damaging like me :D), then you'll possibly adjust the memory frequency to 1600 and assume you're performed.and then freak out when your RAM begins corrupting almost everything and Prime65 keeps failing inside seconds of the initial test.***You have to modify the Voltage to 1.65*** as well if you alter the frequency to 1600. May well be far better for much less tech savvy users just to obtain the 1.5V version of the DDR3-1600 RAM. I know newegg has it for sale someplace right here.

Fast when operating. Nothing but problems on my M4A79XTD EVO AM3 mobo. I had to back the timings down to 1333 to stabilize but still have random reboots. I purchased 8GB but correct now I am operating on 1 stick ƒGB) simply because of frequent reboots.ASUS and Corsair brushed their hands clean saying that the pairing is unsupported. I'm positive this is a fantastic item if used with an i5 or i7 config.

This is good memory. It is DDR3, appreciate it. Also it is 1600MHz love it. I plugged it in and it runs great just as it should. Due to the motherboard i am using it in the speeds and settings necessary tweaked but i expected that. Motherboard was only rated for 1333. Nonetheless it works fantastic!! Nothing that i can think of. Not even cost. For what i paid it was darn near no cost. I enjoy the Corsair name. As long as they continue their excellent product line and continue to assistance me, the enthusiast then i will continue to assistance their fantastic product and giving them outstanding critiques. I use alot of Corsair stuff even more so in my huge game machine and i have fantastic luck with it.

Wonderful cost, Detected by M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 perfectly Causes Tough Freezing in technique. Did Memtest and 1 set bad of two sets, RMA'd. Got new set and system freezes all the time as an alternative of only when viewing Streaming media. Tested all other elements on other systems and they perform perfectly. I am miserable not getting in a position to use my program for additional than 30 minutes with out it Tough Freezing. (Yes this product is listed in my MB QVL)Utilizing XMP profile has created process a lot more unstable. New technique Construct, all solutions purchase by making use of QVL and can not get stable with or with no overclocking.Following testing each and every component in new technique the only a single I can not test in an additional process is the RAM and so I am stuck with RAM that I can not use. Will most likely never get RAM from Corsair once again. Manufacturer Response:It seems that you might be having some concerns tuning your BIOS. XMP is for Intel systems only and may well trigger issues if an user attempts to use Intel XMP validated settings on an AMD method. Please make contact with Tech Help or RAM GUY in our forums and we will be happy to assist you.External Link(s): Corsair Speak to Page|

I suppose the only pro I can assume of is that one particular of the sticks actually worked. Purchased these to go in my computer, and every thing was going fine for about 6 hours until i started getting negative CRC errors left and proper. Ran memtest86 and had numerous errors come up.

Presently running it at 1333Ǟ-8-8-20Ǘ.5vNo troubles whatsoever at 1.5v. Has passed several tests and benchmarks.

it works as created - no concerns at all none most negatives comments can be tracked back to the user not getting compatible parts. if you are constructing your own 'puter, do the necessary research & purchase the appropiate CPU, MoBo, OS etc. It's most most likely NOT the parts.

Runs fine at 1.five V at 1600 齠MHz) 9-9-9-24. Corsair appears to be saying 1.65 Volts is necessary. I'm not convinced the heat spreaders are a great concept. BIOS tweaking necessary. 785G motherboard - Foxconn Cinema II with Athlon II X4 640. Memtest86+ four.20 shows 4731 MB/s
