CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Memory

Comment:
Great ram, very stable and overclockable. I'd recommend and buy this ram again. Worked well in the 680i motherboard that I use it in.

Great memory even if it is a little expensive, haven't pushed it too far but so far I am very impressed. There are 2 revisions of this products and only the 1.X versions are Micron, the 2.X are Qimonda so keep that in mind. Heatsinks seem to be working great, overall very impressed.

Fantastic speeds, I play Crisis at all settings at "very high" and have an almost perfect frame rate..so this is blisteringly fast. Cannot say enough about this RAM.... This review was modfied by poster @ 11-20-07 11:08 PM

With great case flow I have my revision 1.4 modules running with 2.4v.3-3-3-9 till 840MHz3-4-3-9 till 848MHz4-4-4-12 till 1070MHz5-5-4-12 till 1212MHz (read somewhere that it is my P5K deluxe motherboard that is the bottleneck at this MHzThese are fresh from RMA, My first pair rev 1.1 failed after 4 months. Great customer service on the warranty.The 1.1's ran 4-4-4-12 w/ 2.4v m 1018MHz and about the same as the 1.4's at cs3.

I only have this memory a 4 due to its price being a bit much (even if it is the original 1066mhz ram) and due to the fact that I haven't been able to test out overclocking. I got this because I was getting an epp certified board. an Evga 680i SLI, I'm sure most know of the sata issues dealing with the board. and while I had no problems with that my MCP runs 20 degrees above normal... so thats a worry espetily in summer. and while I've heard the bios updates have helped lower the temp... I cant access Evga's website.. neither my comp nor my dads comp can get to it unless we go though a online proxy which is slow.so I just haven't bothered with it since the chip can handle up to 80 degrees. while I overclocked the ram for a little while I never did fully test it out. as a note. this ram runs a 800Mhz stock. you need to set it specifically to 1066. which is easy just turn SLI ready memory on in the bios and select CPU OC 0%(unless you want to overclock the CPU as well, also could be different on different mobo's) and all it will due is scale the memory up to its normal speeds. its hard to say if I would recommend this RAM anymore over the competitors. all I can say is it has a great lifetime warranty, comes from a well known company that has often been considered the best ram company both for speed, stability and compatibility. and well its simplistic to get running at its rated speed. unlike the other PC-8500(from what I know) you have to fully overclock them to reach said speeds while with theses Corsairs all your doing is flicking a switch, showing that you have the compatible equipment and that it WILL work(unless you just got a bum ram or motherboard)
