So i bought this for a brand new gaming computer i put together and it wont run at 1066mhz. i made sure the motherboard was compatible but it still doesn't work. in addition to that when it runs at 800mhz my computer shuts down like 2 times a day. annoying

I bought two so I got 4 sticks all together. 1 stick was bad (kept getting BSOD). Process of elimination I found the bad one, called tiger and they replaced (took about a week). 8GB on my win7 64bit is great. everything is fast as can be. As said though, the fan sucks. and I had 2 to use. One of the 3 little fans makes this loud loud noise, same when I put the other one on, and I know how to install it. I just took it off, I have other fans in there so no big deal really.

The RAM runs at full rated speed without any errors. The fan however is a piece of crap. The first one lasted about 2 months before it started squealing. The second one, that I purchased myself, lasted another 4 or 5 months before it started making noise. Don't waste your money on the fan.

Corsair Dual Channel XMS2 4096MB PC8500 DDR2 1066MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB) has enhanced my PC. My PC performance nicely and the memory modules have not caused any glitches, problems when running multiple mem tests. Setup was a breeze, pop them in, it's so easy. This is a great product. This is my first purchase of Corsair and they haven't let me down yet. Im not sure what people are saying about the fan being a loose, but mine is very snug in place. Id recomend this product to folks who no what they're doing., skill is the key!

Be ready to shell out the cash. Let me tell yot this is the most I ever payed for memory. So I got what I hoped for. So satisfied I ordered 2 more sticks today. 8 Gigs with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit I should be a rockin' As far as the complaints go on the fans I am glad to have them, Yes they are a little loose but they work wonderfully.

I've had this memory in my system for around a year, and ever through OC tests and just regular usage my PC has been rock solid and it's complimented my PC extremely nicely.

This is the best RAM I have ever bought. One problem is that the fan that comes with it rattles and I have read that a lot of other people have had this problem as well, so I don't use the fan and don't need it honestly. This RAM stays cool in comparison to other RAM. This was a fantastic improvement in performance up from my Crucial Ballistix 800 mhz. RAM.

Pros: excellent ram. works great with phenom 9850be to run at 2.85 ghz. cooling fins are a bonus
Comment:
as far as i am concerned this is has got to be one of the best memory sticks on the market. i have put together 4 pcs for friends and everyone of them has used this Ram and has complimented a very stable system. the website is helpful for all their memory queries as well as the tech support.

I have 2 sets of these. No problems with fans or memory. You should not give a bad review because you don't know how to install fans. Ive had first pair over a year thats why i bought second pair. Let a pro install them if you have problems. Don't blame Corsair.

I had to return a defective pair of this ram. The cooling fan this set comes with is horrible. It slides off the ram locking tabs. If it comes in contact with the memory, than your ram will go haywire and shut your PC off. I had to ditch the fan, than I ran Memtest everything passed and worked fine for 4 hours than kaboom, my whole system went haywire. I ran memtest again and got errors like crazy. Originally I was running a 2GB set of corsair and it was good to me, but I returned the new 4gb set for a refund and got some OCZ reaper 4GB kits at the same speed and it was a better choice. Factory clocked OCZ runs circles around factory clocked Corsair from my 4 hour experience alone.

I love this memory. Can't overclock it past 1105mhz but works great@5-5-5-15. Fan started making noises at 1 month and just got worse. Had to remove it after 7 months. Memory is very tall had to readjust my Ultra chilltec cooler to make it fit.

The memories were great and run fast on my striker extreme board. Speed and timings were detected perfectly. But the fan that comes with the package is a little bit loose whichever way you install it. Other than that, real cool... they shipped the RAM in perfect condition. Thanks guys.

I bought this ram for my new p/c, they weren't kidding, it's really fast.the only problem i had was the cheesy fan mount,they should have used plastic, it shifted and shorted out one of the sticks. What a bummer. I'm trying to get it replaced, hope they will pull through. It's worth the money, just don't use the fans...

RAM works great only problem was the middle fan sounds as if it has a dry bearing. Corsair took it back and replaced it no problem though.

Corsair Dual Channel XMS2 4096MB PC8500 DDR2 1066MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB).Can't believe how fast this ram is ! Makes sure you get this ram and build your computer around it. You will be impressed. Blazing fast, and contrary to others the fans are ultra quiet. Awesome product.

Well, when it comes to the actual RAM, these things fly, the speed was detected automatically and it runs beautifully at advertised speed and timings. As for the fans that came with it, I RMA's the first fan module because two of the three fans were vibrating and sounded like some sort of sick animal, so I got a second fan module and one of the 3 on this one are doing the same thing. Well, I guess it's kind of an improvement but I'm going to RMA these too and see if third times a charm. I really didn't expect this bad quality from Corsair. Although I didn't take too much off the rating because the memory itself is currently performing beyond my expectations

Cons: No fan was included ( not sure if it is suppose to be there by default ?) , takes some decent amount of space cause of the heatsink

Pros: Looks cool and very sturdy, the old ram sticks looked like they did break any time :)
Comment:
Was on sale for less than 90$ and for my new rig, it was the choice over picking ocz, cause i have weird issues with ocz ram sticks. Will try to pair these rams with G.Skill to upgrade to 8 gig, and see if pairing works out.
