Rapidly, huge, gets the chicks. Motherboard had no problems auto configuring. Wish I could have snagged 16 gb for that price Egg saver this time around was UPS mail innovations... box sat at the usps for days... should have just paid for ground shipping or bought it from the book store on crack and utilised prime...

Cons:None so far

Pros:Good price during weekly salesDDR3 memory with 8GB capacity at ~$40 is a steal right now
Comment:
Already have a 2x2GB 1600C9 Corsair a year ago, paired with this 8GB kit now on a i7-875K system. Worked very nicely, motherboard detected running all 4 DIMMs at 1333MHz 1.50V with 9-9-9 timings. Successfully passed Memtest4.20 in both situations: 1. only this 8GB kit installed; 2. all 12GB installed.

-Affordable-Corsair Brand Name-Heat Spreader None I bought this for ่.50 right after rebate and coupon code and am extremely glad I did. Ran through memtest as soon as I got it and passed flawlessly. It's running on my AMD program proper now with no complications at all.

Comment:
Replaced a diverse name brand that wouldn't run at 1333 regardless of timing settings. 1333 was the default speed with 9 9 9 timing on first boot. Haven't run memtest but it's been stable for 24 hours now. Heat sinks really feel much more solid than the other brand None I had a dilemma with some Corsair memory years ago and this is the initial time I've used it because then. Based on the initially day, I'd definately obtain these once again.

Pros:It works. Supported with my i5 CPU and MSI motherboard combo. Good packaging

Does what it says on the tin. Stable, no issues. Not tried any overclocking with my setup so cannot comment how it operates outside of the normal setup.

Cons: one stick wont overclock so far.

Pros: cheap (65$ on sale)
Comment:
Installed those and they were detected at 7-7-7-20 1066mhz...One of the 2 sticks give errors in memtest at 15% fsb overclock. Maybe I will try to loose them up and give it another chance.

Cons: Design

Pros: Price, Performance
Comment:
Got these on sale 2 weeks ago and they do the job for me. Works with my p8p67 mobo wich is important and deliver good performance. Design is nothing special, but thats not overly important as I only see them when I open my case.

can't complain at all for 8gb of ram at such a good price. also brand name from corsair and with a dual channel architecture you can't go wrong. very pleased with this purchase. I am able to run many heavy client applications without capping my ram now. huge jump from 2gb that I had before.

Pros: PricePerformanceHeat-spreaders
Comment:
Perfect performance for my modest gaming needs. In an Asus P7P55 LX with i5 760, my favourite flight sim never looked so good! Very happy! There are better and pricier RAM kits out there, but for under $10 per gb ($65 after rebate etc) it's hard to imagine better value. And the heat-spreader plating looks cool too!

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory
Cons: None? Wouldn't easily do 1600.

Pros: Good price, works as advertised. Not too tall, fit underneath a Hyper212+.
Comment:
Bought this to go with a pair of 4GB Patriot 1333ELK for 16GB total. Motherboard autodetected the 4 sticks as 1.5v 1066, but the XMP settings contained the advertised 1333 9-9-9-24 1.65v. Manually entered the settings and they worked fine. Also worked at 1440 9-9-9-24 1T and 1120 7-7-7-22 1T.

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory
Cons: - Much more expensive than comparable products (Mushkin)- Runs at higher voltage- Performance a bit worse than the much cheaper Mushkin

Pros: - Brand (sadly the only strength, which really shouldn't matter)
Comment:
Had to pick one kit up from store and all Mushkin was out of stock.Wasn't impressed with performance. Mushkin costs 20% less while perform better. Corsair also runs at higher voltage.Given most brands provide lifetime warranty, I don't see why one should pay premium just for the name. I would stick with Mushkin in the future.

Got it for the brand/timing/price factor. I've been using Corsair memory for a long time and never got disappointed. This one has good performance and not to much expensive for nothing. Good for an average gaming PC or for Graphic design PC.

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory
Cons: Upon initial installation and benchmarking noticed that it was running at 7-7-7 and at 1066 instead of 9-9-9 at 1333 and to turn that up in the bios may have just been my Mobo though.

Pros: Reasonable price for the amount of RAM you get. Nice appearance not overly gawdy, fits nicely into case without much obtrusion, also it fits nicely without having to adjust my Coolermaster Heatsink.
Comment:
Overall very impressed with the overall product and would recommend it to anyone that is looking to build a new PC and wanting to keep the price reasonable.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Price, Performance, AMD compatible
Comment:
This set was recommended for AMD Phenom x6, no issues on install,very affordable for a 8GB set. The heat spreaders are nothing fancy but who cares. The price seems to continue to come down as well,think I'll buy another set.
