CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory
Cons:havent found yet

Pros:Great workin ram
Comment:
this memory seems solid and i recommand it to everyone that has mother board support for 1333mhz and doesnt recommand to buy 1600mhz for your mother board if it requires a cloak to run the 1600mhz i have tryed in the past and the rams of 1600mhz with a clocked mother board seems to last only for an average time of 2months before burnin . So everyone with a 1333mhz mother board support i recommand those rams and try to avoid selecting the 1600mhz if you have to cloak your mother board so it can be supported which by my experience caused horrible issues using the 1600hz ram. And by my experience the 1333mhz seems to run alot smoother with my mother board which is ment to run on 1333mhz even if it has a 1600hz ram support which was by overloakin

Works somewhat Automobile tunes to 1067 and when manually setting the timings to run at 1333 board is unstable and Blue screens. Installed OCZ DDR3 1333 and board auto tunes at 1333 and runs particularly effectively... I would not recommend this memory!

Snapped in 8Gb and ran memtest = errorsUpgraded/Downgraded from 2x2Gb 1600 DDR3, just had to adjust from 800 Mhz to 667 Mhz in Bios (already was at 9-9-9-24 @ 1.6V). Re-ran Windows 7 efficiency and ram speed score remained the exact same, 7.5.Efficiency Memory Test showed 34% score increase 龒 to 1285) --> whatever that means...Civ five now using just over 4 Gb when processing to next turn.

Was bought at a decent price with mail-in rebate from Corsair. It took a few months before I got the mail-in rebate, but I did receive it. So far it works fine.

Comment:
Purchased the two stick package deal and only one stick functions.The working stick operates exactly like I would expect it to. The two sticks together passed POST due to the reality that 1 stick worked. But if I didn't boot up in secure mode I'd get a BSOD each time; specifically when trying to load video drivers. It took me a couple of days to narrow it down to the RAM mainly because the BSOD code had something to do with USB ports. I've contacted Newegg, and i'm waiting to see what they want to do with this a single. I'll post the results.

This memory is very quick. Paired with an i7 2600K and the resulting machine is blazing fast! The memory worked without having any tinkering or troubleshooting. None so far.

Comment:
Excellent Price tag for wonderful memory. Good seeking, terrific heatsinks, timing was spot on...Im not a lot on overclocking or a huge tweaker, so it was good to set the asus bios to auto and have it recognize the actual speed as advertised. none I bought this xms3 as a replacement for O cZ memory that was junk. I purchased 1600oc ram, but it wouldnt even run 1333 without an instant bluescreen. I spent countless hours on the phone with OCz's tech support, even tried returning it and replacing it with their leading shelf fatality, but its all junk...mobo on auto sees 1066, not 1333 like they advertise...took that junk out, put in this XMS3,set it to auto, and viola! 1333 fsb..I will never get something but corsair or kingston again!

Worked great the 1st time I booted with the RAM. Motherboard saw it as 1333 initial try. Didn't come with bacon. I'm spoiled, immediately after reading critiques I often pick RAM from top quality brands that perform with no BIOS tweaking. This resulted in a discomfort-free of charge expertise with this product. I don't even remember the last time I've had to monkey with the BIOS to get RAM/CPU timings correct.

bought this as a second set to make 16gb of ram on my new amd 6 core technique. Really low cost to make 16 gb occur on a pc nowadays purchasing in 8gb pairs vs. 16gb kit. Very pleased with the purchase. None If you go to corsairs site, their 16gb kit at 1600 is nearly 贶 much more than buying two 8gb matched kits in either 1333 or 1600mhz. I mean 1600mhz ddr3 isn't bleeding edge anymore and shouldn't be priced that way if you want a full matched kit. And the timings of 9-9-9-24 are the exact same for the 8gb kits vs. a full 16. DUH?

This ram is so low cost I ended up purchasing a total of 16GB. That is outstanding. Like I would ever need to have that much. I couldn't wait to check the bios and see what I found. 16 GB, very good and robust! None, best price and brand of any ram. Newegg ships so speedily.
