8G at 1066 can work
- Pros: I have had two pairs of these modules, or 8G, running at 1066 with 2.1V installed in a GigaByte GA-EP45-UD3P with a Q9550 for over four months now without issue. Of course I had to educate myself on overclocking to get there. I raised the processor ratio so I could clock the FSB up to get 1066 but it does work. The processor is running at 3.3G. But search for information about overclocking these modules. Corsair's techs have explanations in forums out there.
- Cons: When I first got both sets of paired modules I installed them and booted the setup. It was a new build so not having the memory report as a full 8G didn't alarm me at first but after swapping in and out modules, I discovered that although one pair of modules were labeled as each being 2G, they were actually 1G. Which made my setup report 6G instead of 8G. I was actually shocked at this considering the sticks were labeled as 2G by part number.
- Other Thoughts: NewEgg issued a RMA to me and I returned the pair of modules which cost me the shipping. I got the replacement pair as soon as expected and installed them. Since the day I installed them, I haven't opened the computer case again. Installing Windows 7 64bit with this setup just flies. There is no other way to describe it. Other than the RMA this was the least eventful build I have done.
poor ram, poor service
- Pros: one out of four sticks is still operational.
- Cons: Three out of four sticks are not. I have been waiting about three weeks for replacements. Communication with Corsiar is poor.
- Other Thoughts: I cannot recommend Corsair. I understand that ram goes bad, and a lifetime warranty is nice. However, the delays associated with getting replacement ram from Corsair is unacceptable to me, and one stick out of the pair that I purchased a year ago went bad - then the replacement ram went bad. Look elsewhere.
You will not be able to run 8 GBs at 1066
- Pros: This memory will run 4 GBs at 1066 speeds.
- Cons: This memory will not run 8 GBs at 1066 speeds. There are less ddr2 memory so the price jumped drastically. The same memory when the price was cheap could do 8 GBs at 1066, but not the latest rev 2.1.
