2 out of 5 eggs1333=1.5V 1600=1.65V

Pros: Not sure at this point.

Cons: Bad stuff. First, it runs at one voltage at 1300MHz but another at 1600. The machine had been acting up for a long time. I went to add another 8GB of "1600" memory and learned that 2x4GB ran at 1.65V in XMP-1 (1600) mode versus the other Corsair memory that ran at 1.5V. Great. Then memtest showed major errors with the 2x4GB (this review). Anyway, make sure you check voltages if you're going to try to run this with other memory.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Customer,

We're sorry you had a bad experience with our memory. It is common to up the voltage as you up the performance from a memory kit, and you are correct the memory is listed to run 1600MHz at 1.65V. As for having errors shown in memtest, please contact our Tech Support and we will replace the kit for you.

Thank you,
Corsair Customer Support

5 out of 5 eggsIts good

Pros: It does what you pay for.
4Gs of DDr3 1600 ram

Cons: I hate having to go set the timing in bios cause my Crosshair IV only started them at 1333 and 9-9-9-24 timing.

Other Thoughts: I bought a 8GB dual channel set from corsair @ 1333, noticed the difference in speed and I like it, wish I would of gotten more then just 4Gs though.

5 out of 5 eggsNow I know Why more RAM IS BETTER!

Pros: *CAS 7
With a Total of 8GB of this RAM I can now:
-Encode Video
-Record Gaming Video in HD
-Edit Video/Pictures
-Upload Video
-Surf the Web
-Playback HD Video
-Microsoft Office Programs
ALL the above running at the same time with no Hiccups!! Multi-Tasking at its best!

Cons: *This Corsair RAM failed to find me a girlfriend for Valentines Day! So it can't do everything... -.-

Other Thoughts: I had 4GB of this RAM thatI bought from another retailer a few months ago. Although other RAM models and slower CAS prices were always dropping and on sale... I was committed to getting the exact same ram to match the ones in my build - because I was happy with the performance...

I was watching this particular RAM with CAS 7 on NewEgg for 2 months waiting for the price to drop so I can bring my PC build and it rarely dropped and if it did it was not significant - TILL ONE DAY I saw it as a Shell SHocker Deal... and I bought it!!

5 out of 5 eggsgreat out of the box

Pros: easily runs at 7,8,7,24, 1600 on my i5 setup
passed windows 7 Mem test, prime95, Mem test, no errors.
plays nice with my G Skill F3 ripjaw 1600 at same timings.

Cons: none for me so far but they are only days old.

for some AMD users, your MB is probably not able to run at 1600, do your homework or call Corsair if in doubt.

Other Thoughts: FYI: my GA-P55A-UD3 would not post with the timing pre set for these "existing memory was already running at rated specs." I had to remove existing memory, allow these to self detect, set timeings, then put all four sticks in. been down this road many times with clocked memory.
