Pros: Passed memtest, working great. As low profile as I think RAM gets--if you have a large CPU cooler (I have the Zalman CNPS12X myself) these are a must, nothing larger will fit. As is one of my RAM slots doesn't even have clearance for a stick of this and I had trouble getting one into another slot. Comment:
Great RAM, low-profile, looks nice. |

Cons: - none so far.
Pros: - works great with Noctua D-14. Comment:
I bought two of these kits since they seemed to be great candidates for fitting below D-14 that is quite large. No issues so far. Performance seems to be great. |

Cons: With the setup of the computer this goes into, the system will not allow any form of overclocking and, in fact, reduces the speed of this RAM to 1333 Mhz although it is rated as 1600 MHz in the product specifications.
Pros: Good brand with solid history of performance. Got 2-4GB sticks with ability to add 2 more to motherboard. Comment:
I bought this RAM for my friends computer as a solid choice based upon my pleasure with the Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600 Mhz RAM (16 GB - 4x4GB). However, he has had a lot of problems with stability on his system and has had to go from Turbo mode to Standard mode and also allow the RAM speed to be set by the computer. RESULT: He is now stable but the RAM is running at 1333 MHz. I understand the problem may be the motherboard or other things too but be cautious about using this RAM if you are looking for a speed demon. |

Pros: Low Profile, low cost yet quality brand Comment:
Got a set to go in a miniitx build.The low profile helps make sure that the case doesn't get too cramped and that nothing hits anything else in an itx environment.The colour is a nice bonus in that the MB and cables also have a blue theme.Corsair is a solid brand that I use in many of my computers. Never really have any issues with them. |

Pros: Great ram at a fair price. Corsair quality. Comment:
Bought these to replace the tall ones I had previously. No problem with them at all. They just wouldn't fit under my A70 when I got it, so I bought the same ram in the low-pro flavor. |

Cons: Not as much bling as other modules, but not an issue for me anyway
Pros: Great price for an 8 GB kitNo clearance issuesWorked perfectly out of the package and as specced.Low voltage Comment:
I had been using four 2 GB GSkill modules with similar specs, but the motherboard didn't like all four DIMM slots being populated, forcing me to monkey with the settings to get them to play nice. So I decided to go for two 4 GB modules instead. I was a little concerned about clearance issues with the regular Vengeance modules (they're even taller than the Ripjaws), so a pair of these seemed the safest bet. I don't believe that all those heatspreader fins and teeth do much anyway. I got the set for about $44, which was a significant savings and put them in line with similar products. I also liked that these modules were rated at 1.5 volts, like the Ripjaws they were replacing.The modules themselves are pretty plain, but that's not an issue for me. After installing them they showed up running exactly as per the manufacturer's specifications without any adjustments on my part, which was nice for a change. A few passes of Memtest to ensure they were solid and stable, and I was good to go. There's really not much more that I can say, other than the fact that I'm pleased with them and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again, if and when the need arose.Now I suppose that I'm going to have to buy a motherboard so I can put the GSkills to use. Oh, and I'll need a processor for that of course, and then ... :) |

Pros: Speed and Height Comment:
Love these... glad I got the low profile so my CoolerMaster fits nicely |

Cons: none
Pros: low profile, fast, good value Comment:
Buy these over the non lowprofile version. They are the same things except these allow you to have clearance for heatsinks. Unless you use the stock cpu heatsink or a liquid cooled the high profile, although they look sick, will probably not fit.... |

Cons: None.
Pros: Works like a charm.Looks very professional. Compared to the CMZ version, these don't look like frightened porcupines. Comment:
Booted at 1333, but is working fine as advertised after changing it to 1600 in the BIOS |
|
Rating: Review Date: 10/29/11 |
Cons: None at this price... could have bought a special rare, lower voltage model
Pros: -works as advertised-small heat spreader-1.5volts rather than 1.65volts like some of the other ram Comment:
Works perfectly fine. Good thing the heat spreaders are small or I would lose a ram slot due to my large Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme CPU cooler. |

Pros: -Low profile-No heat-1.5v-4x4GB at 1600mhz on Llano Comment:
Running 4x4GB on my A8-3850 at 1600mhz with stock timings. Pretty good!These things put out almost zero heat. Forget gimmicky heatspreaders!Haven't yet overclocked otherwise would report. |

Cons: none.
Pros: Low profile heatsinks and current pricing. Comment:
I also own the high-profile vengeance modules. In terms of temperature differences between the two models, the additional height of the other ones do not make a big difference in cooling. Both sets feel warm to the touch. If you have more than one system, it's a much wiser choice to go for low profile modules so you can eliminate the possibility of not being able to use a large heatsink because of rams getting in the way. |

Pros: Low profile for my noctua dh14 heatsinkgood price when on sale Comment:
Got 2 sets of this running in my p8z68-v pro at it's rated speeds with no issues. Biggest selling point was the low height as most ram have ridiculously tall heat spreaders that get in the way, well not these. |
The ram just works, no issues. Low profile so it fits under my hsf.
