5 out of 5 eggsgreat memory

Pros: worked perfectly right from the start. Went into bios and loaded xmp, and ran at 1600. nice. tried a little oc and with just a little bump in voltage got them to 1866 stable. I did get to 2000 but crashed. Still I think these have more headroom with a little more tweaking of the voltage and timings.

Cons: None

5 out of 5 eggsLike a Charm

Pros: Worked from the start!
Fast great RAM.
Picked these up because they were sys specific
for performance on my board.
ASUS SABERTOOTH 990fx

Cons: I couldn't get 4 for the price of 2.

Other Thoughts: Post your board, before installing,
then if you have mem ok, let it set.
Then Install OS.
May have to change HDD from SATA to IDE on some boards when installing.
It's not the RAM. These are great.

5 out of 5 eggsMaxxxedMyMoBo

Pros: Screaming quick at 24G of Corsair Domination. CoD Black Ops runnin' smooth as silk with only one MSI 460 Cyclone GPU w/1gDDR5 atm.

Received my 2 boxes of 2,4G sticks in good time and condition. Easy install to fill the 4 gaps on the BigBang X58 MoBo, Win7Pro64OS ,Int.i7 2.93Ghz.

It doesn't get much better then this.

Cons: Em..., nah..got nothin'.

Other Thoughts: Beauty in the Beast!

If you're a gamer looking for the mother of deals on a nice ram upgrade for a newer motherboard then you can not lose with this one. The best bang I could find for my buck.

1 out of 5 eggsDon;t always be a patriot

Pros: stable and scores well on memory tests. Easy to install;j

Runs cool even if it did not have heat spreaders.

Cons: Don't look for any type of service. They have you pay to send them back. Only memory that has ever broken in any computer I have ever built. Running duel channel so the other channel has to take up the slack. Their are many companys out the may be no more money yet thimk that they are not above serving their customers.

Other Thoughts: Service is very important in every part you purchase when building your first computer or have built tons of them. Many times find out how to get hold of the company and if they will answer a question before you buy. Watch for those who could care about you. This is one of them That could give a whoot. It is a good product. Parts break thats when you find a good from they could give a darn. Corsair seems to be such a company.l

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great

Pros: Works right out of the box. Great looking.

Cons: Expensive.

Other Thoughts: Gave these timings all over the place troubleshooting what turned out to be something else entirely, and they worked on just about everything I gave them.

I have them running on a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 and loaded up the XMP profile 1... 1600/8-8-8-24/2T... I adjusted the voltage up to 1.65 as per spec but they appeared to be working fine at 1.5 as well which is what the auto set them at. I may go back down to 1.5 and see if they continue to work. Passed all memory tests flawlessly.

2 out of 5 eggsDoes not work

Pros: 4gb sticks

Cons: RAM will not run at 1600mhz at any timings or voltage with AMD Phenom II 965BE on Sabertooth 990FX, only stable at 9-9-9-24 1.65 DDR-1333. Bulldozer will be out soon, hopefully it is compatible with that.

Other Thoughts: I hate having to RMA stuff.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great

Pros: Installed in my system and I enabled the XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) in my system BIOS. The FSB was increased to 1600 (from 1333) and the memory/system has been stable ever since.

Cons: The heat sinks are pretty tall. Not an issue in my case but make sure you have room.

5 out of 5 eggsNice Timings you got there, you should see my other sticks :P

Pros: This ram set is priced right for the heat-sinks and low clocks of course you need to adjust the ram timings in your bios and bump up the voltage its very easy to do 8-8-8-24 is a nice for DDR3

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: so far im pleased with the look and performance of these ram sticks a nice side to a higher end gaming box
