- Pros: Boots and runs 1066 with no without tweaks as it should on my GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L. Gotta love it.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: I checked my mobo spec sheet for ram before I bought my ram.
Do yourself a favor and check before you order and save yourself some headaches.
Slightly Disappointed
- Pros: Affordable ram, manufactured by Corsair... an industry leader in quality and performance.
- Cons: For the first time ever, I was disappointed with Corsair memory. On 3 different motherboards, this set of ram was recognized as 800mhz instead of the 1066mhz it's advertised to be. I could overclock it to 1066mhz without problems, but I didn't feel I should have to do this just to get it to run at the advertised speed.
- Other Thoughts: I have built and/or rebuilt hundreds of computers over the last 14 years, and for the last few years, I have almost exclusively used Corsair ram in my projects. While I still have the utmost faith in Corsair, this particular set of ram left me somewhat disappointed.
Review Update
- Pros: It was detected at 1066 and worked perfectly...
- Cons: ...for about 3 months.
- Other Thoughts: In the 3rd month I started getting game crashes. I ran stress tests, trying to find the problem. It seemed all was cool and stable. But, something odd I noticed in CPUz was the RAM's SPD reporting a max of PC2-6400 (800), even though the timing table did show the 1066 option. So, I threw memtest86 at it. Virtually non-stop errors. I put the RAM down to PC2-6400 settings, and most the errors when away (I still got about 10 errors per pass). I can no longer recommend this RAM.
