Corsair makes overclocking easy. Its XMS3 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 9-9-9-24 timings for speedy performance. Each kit is 100% hand tested for performance and compatibility.
To keep everything running cool, these modules use platinum XMS heat spreaders will keep your memory cool even when you're running your system flat out. 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.

Corsair Memory
- Pros: Excellent memory. As expected from Corsair. I have been in the PC business for years and I have not used anything else for my personal computer other than Corsair brand. I threw these things in there and my system booted right up. My P6T recognized them as 1066 so I hate to set the spec voltages and manually took it to 1600. Currently overclocking my i7 920 to 3.2 (3.3ghz turbo) @ 1.2 locked voltage/160mhz bus speed/QPI 3840 and I did not have to mess with memory speed at all due to stability issues. This memory is XMP = fat kid's chocolate factory! I am not overclocking past these speeds since there is no need for it. This memory with right CPU will be a powerful combination, plus I want my system to last me for a while, thus I went with X58 set up.
- Cons: LOL
- Other Thoughts: The difference in these modules and Dominator model is the heat sinks. Make no mistake, this is perhaps the best 1600 memory kit out, specially for the price! DDR3 is expensive stuff not to mention 6gb's. All I do is game and other multimedia operations. I am VERY picky about hardware and stability/quality. All I ever buy (from past experience) is Asus, Corsair, WD, Antec, Samsung, and sapphire. Take it from thousands of dollars I have given Newegg since 2003 LOL!
Great RAM, nice price
- Pros: Great price for DDR3 1600 Cas 8 timings. This stuff cost $200+ for 6GB not too long ago, so ~$13 per GB is a great deal. RAM speed is much more important with Core i7/X58 as your RAM speed can limit your Bclk (similar to old FSB). Some boards can drop the ratio, but faster RAM makes OC'ing much easier on X58.
This SKU also looks to be new and it runs the same timings as the much more expensive Dominators. The older XMS3 run at CAS 9 and have the older/uglier heat spreaders.
- Cons: The Rebate doesn't let you buy 2 kits! I had to source the second kit from ZZF (which uses even slower delivery than Newegg's DHL).
- Other Thoughts: If you buy this RAM without the CPU or Motherboard, make sure to get something large with free shipping with it. Otherwise Newegg will toss it into a DHL mailer pack, which is slower than standard snail mail. Basically DHL drops it off to USPS, so you can expect 3-4 day delivery at best. Usual UPS turnaround for me is 1-2 days.

Works Great!
- Pros: XMP Profiles, runs at rated speed, FAST!!
- Cons: n/a
- Other Thoughts: I would highly recommend this memory!!
Corsair 1600C8, works
- Pros: Low price, solid build, performs as advertised first run!
- Cons: not cas 5? lol
- Other Thoughts: Works just as advertised with XMP settings on an Asus p6t d2 right out of the box. Lifetime warranty is overkill, as memory is cheap, getting cheaper, and generally fails sooner rather than later, like any other IC that is not subjected to periodic high heat low heat cycles (CPU, GPU)
- Pros: Great ram, all 3 sticks were deteced on boot, with XMP enabled, ran at advertised specs.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: using these with a gigabyte EX58-UD3R and they are awesome.
