Good so far but difficult installation

white Reviewed By: Max on 9/20/2009
Rating + 3
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Purchased due to good reputation of Corsair.
Cons: Difficult to install in ASUS P7P55D EVO due to ASUS innovation of putting retention clip only on one end of memory socket. Insertion of modules required significant force (more than I wanted to use) to get memory connected. Frustration was increased since 2 modules (slots A1 and B1) were fully inserted and the other two were not fully seated. This caused BIOS to report only 4 GB. Started RMA process since I thought two memory sticks were bad. ASUS response blamed Intel and said the CPU was bad. Turns out the RMA is not needed and now 8GB is detected, after a few days of frustration.

Corsair rocks, Advertising sucks

white Reviewed By: Deathtwinkie on 11/5/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: This memory flat out lets me pwn my competition and it lets me frag my enemies. No other memory will let you do those two things. In fact, on many games it's given me an extra frame per second and that was enough to GUARANTEE victory for me. You wouldn't think that 1fps would have that much power, but it does. I go into games and no matter what I do or my enemy does...that extra 1fps GUARANTEE's victory for me. I just frag and pwn my enemies all over the place. Again, no other memory allows you to do that. ADVERTISING ROCKS!!!

Look at the advertising description on this product here at newegg and ask yourself how worthless and stupid advertising is. It's a pointless and idiotic babble session of adjectives and sensationalism.

Anyway, Corsair is awesome. I've had a problem with OCZ in past, but I've never had a problem with any Corsair product. These sticks here plenty fast as well. No need for Dominators.
Cons: Can't go wrong with Corsair. Always quality products
Other Thoughts: If I had just $5 for every radio, tv, internet comercial or advertisement that didn't properly sell their product, but instead went on some stupid tangent or use vague adjectives and fill words..............I wouldn't have to work again. Advertising is the most pointless profession on the planet

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Installs fairly easily on an ASUS P7P55D LGA 1156 motherboard. It required some force, but nothing that made me worry.
Cons: None that I experienced
Other Thoughts: I find it weird that they put some much hard plastic casing on the sticks. It seems like they wanted more space to put their company logo. But, hey, it works, so I'm not complaining.
