Corsair makes overclocking easy. Its Dominator series Triple Channel kits set the standard for enthusiast-oriented memory module kits developed for the up-to-the-minute Intel Nehalem platform. This triple channel 6GB kit is rated to run at 1600MHz and has CL 8-8-8-24 timings for speedy performance. Each kit is 100% hand tested for performance and compatibility.

To keep everything running cool, these modules use DHX (Dual-path Heat eXchange) technology. The patented heat removing PCB is surrounded by Corsair's signature heat sink with fins and ribs for maximum surface area for cooling. The set comes with the optional AirFlow fan system just to keep things as cool as possible. These combine to give you cool running memory even under the hottest action. So game hard, game long; your memory can handle it!

This new 6GB kit ensures optimal performance via an ideal combination of low voltage requirements, speed, and latency, so it's a perfect match for the Nehalem platform to unleash performance you could only dream of before.

Amazing

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great RAM, pretty expensive but all the options were with the i7's requirements so I thought I might as well splurge and get the 1600. No problems with bios recognizing it (although that's more of a motherboard feature).
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Make sure you space the RAM out and put them in the right slots. I put all the RAM together in my 6 slot motherboard and only 2 sticks were detected. Read the instructions!

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Using a Asus P6T with intel i7 920.

Memory timing 9-9-9-24 were recognized correct in the bios, but the speed was not. I manually increased the speed to 1600mhz with no problems. No hic-ups and system is rock solid stable. More so than the last 3 computers I built. I feel there is more headroom on this memory than stated in the specs. Definitely would reccomend to a friend.

Can watch AVCHD natively with encoding going on in the background!!!! What more can I ask for? The memory obviously can handle it.
Cons: None. Some peole might say price, but the price is what it is so don't complain if your willing to pay it. That is my outlook on it. Cutting edge is always expensive.
Other Thoughts: I've been away from the bleeding edge and the new i7/x58 systems are new so I was a little nervous about compatibility/stability. No issues and I'm extremely pleased with the entire combo. More stable than the last 3 computers I built. I've been waiting 16 years for a computer like this, finally it's here!

Corsair DDR3 Ram review

white Reviewed By: on 2/6/2010
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Not exactly Corsair Dominators, but they overclock well, and work.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Buy quality RAM, find a middle ground between the best quality and the worst if you're on a budget. This is excellent for an i7 budget. A little more pricey than OCZ Gold, but all 3 sticks work right out of the package.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is my 2nd set purchase having assembled a Asus P6T motherboard a few months back. Undecided whether or not to go cheaper but decided last moment to stick with what is almost a guarantee against problems. Had a chance a while back to get this 6GB kit $20 cheaper but paid for procrastinating. Completed this new pc build with Newegg's "open box" P6T V2 Delux motherboard, a XFX NVidia GTS 250 all purchased via newegg. Remaining parts purchased locally (Cooler Master HAF 932 case ($129 after rebate) and a Intel i7-920 ($199 +tax) and got this up and running for a little over $800.
Cons: Never ever been able to get any Corsair rebate even when I follow the instructions to the letter. Went thru the motions this time once again and I would be amazed if I get this $20 rebate...Corsair are you reading this?

My "open box" motherboard was shipped from the newegg California warehouse while the video card and memory kit came from across the river in Secaucus, NJ. I am spoiled since in the majority of instances I get deliveries in 48 hours or less since Secaucus is across the river from where I reside. No more Bing cashback which is also kind of disappointing. No price matching since the processors, cases, and other items ocassionally are cheaper even when you have to pay the local taxes
Other Thoughts: I normally base my Newegg purchases after reading many of the feedback and reviews posted by others. This is the first time I've went with a Newegg "open box" motherboard and I am not disappointed...just make sure you quickly complete your build as there is a 30-day Newegg "no questions asked" warranty. In the future as I either complete more pc builds for close friends and relatives I will definitely go with the "open box" motherboards as the savings are considerable. Just remember all you get is the actual motherboard and nothing else which is kind of disappointing as it would be nice to have had the case backplate, original owners manual and a driver CD but I can live with this reluctantly since much of what I need is supported nicely on the ASUS website.
