Do your research
- Pros: Corsair is the saint of Ram, their help support is pretty good, for the less then knowledgeable running tests such as Memtest (which they recommend for testing faulty RAM) are a bit more than manageable. However, it is great ram, I am actually underclocking it (explained later) and the sticks are happy as clams.
- Cons: Non
- Other Thoughts: I bought the components for a new machine, a bit under a month later I installed Crysis. For 3 days everything was peachy keen until my system crashed and the G.P. diagnostics card on my motherboard read "Memory Test." I spent a few days figuring out what I was doing wrong or what went wrong and I think I found it. I am using a 3.2 Ghz Intel core i7 965 Extreme edition. That supports RAM at speeds of 800 or 1066 Mhz. The RAM also calls for 1.6 volts of electrical power. After some fuss I found that in my BIOS I had the DRAM bus voltage set to [Auto] which (On my BIOS) means 1.5 volts and the DRAM clock speed was [Auto] which (again on my BIOS) means whatever the RAM wants to operate at. So the end of the story is watch out for what speed your processor wants to run your RAM at and also, make sure you voltage is correct. Kind of a stupid mistake which makes me look like a total idiot but just saying, it happens, so watch out for it.
Very happy with it
- Pros: high speed, low latency, runs pretty cool. I have never been dissapointed with Corsair...and they so far are making me a happy customer and it looks like they will continue to. Buy some.
- Cons: Reasonable price good product.
- Other Thoughts: 12GB no upgrades needed for quite a while..

Nice matched set of RAM
- Pros: Nice to have matched set of 12GB. Booted and recognized right away with ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard and Win 7 64bit Ultimate. Outstanding performance in everyway. I used RAM cooling fan. All purchased from Newegg.
- Cons: None
Top Shelf Memory
- Pros: BEST MEMORY PERIOD. Easyiest memory to overclock. Just ordered my third set for an ASUS X58 board. Currently have OC'd this 1600MHz to 2553.5MHz and the i7-920 OC'd to 3351.7MHz. This box screams with Corsair and only took 5 minutes to OC automatically on the EVGA X58 SLI MB. Using the default 9-9-9-24-2T scores a 7.6 in Windows 7.
- Cons: absolutely none.
- Other Thoughts: I've tried OCZ, Gskill, Mushkin, and Geil RAM only to spend countless hours getting systems to run stable at clock speeds. The same boxes were up and running with Corsair immediately and easily OC'd. No more wasting my time and $$$ every again, Corsair is the only trusted brand.
Ok to start but then...
- Pros: Worked for a little while.
- Cons: This kit has 6 2GB modules. After a week of use one module apparently failed. BIOS originally recognized 12GB then suddenly 8GB. I removed three modules from A2, B2, and C2 slots, leaving A1,B1,C1 populated and then had 4GB, not the expected 6. Removed and swaped modules into #1 slots and got expected 6GB. Went back and forth several times to verify not MB but module failure.
- Other Thoughts: Why so many memory failures, is testing at factory lacking. Going to try NewEgg RMA process, hoping it will go well. Not sure if I will ask for Corsair replacement or other brand. $300 plus for bad memory is disappointing.
