CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B

Pros: Looks pretty and went in easy

Cons: I've bought two sets of these, roughly a year apart. The first set worked great. I decided to upgrade my system about a month ago with another set. My computer started sporadically blue-screening soon after I installed the new set. Windows memory tester and Memtest confirm that it's the new RAM (though the original set of vengance sticks is fine). 50% fail rate for me - we'll see how the RMA process goes. I'm apparently responsible for paying the shipping charges for Corsair's defective product. The global fail-rate for these cards is undoubtedly lower than 50%. However, be aware that you will be responsible for the cost of shipping the product to Corsair should it be faulty.

Other Thoughts: Is it not standard operating procedure to test the viability of your RAM before you sell it? I understand that would add a kink in the flow of product to consumers, but it's probably something that the bean-counters at Corsair should look into if they haven't already.

Pros: Great looking memory and runs perfect!
Some memory will not run at it's advertised speed without tons of tweaking but this memory installed perfect and ran at it's true 1866MHz with only 1 adjustment in my Motherboards BIOS.

Cons: None other than it is a little tall and may interfere with your CPU Cooler if you have an aftermarket cooling fan but it is no larger than other memory with this type of heat sink.

Other Thoughts: Don't blame the RAM if your motherboard recognizes it at a slower speed. Most motherboards need a setting changed in the BIOS to recognize memory at it's full speed.

Pros: This kit is on the Qualified Vendor List for Sabertooth X79. Bought 2 kits caz it was cheaper than the 4x4GB kit. XMP is just awesome and rocks the passmark benchmarks.

Cons: None

Pros: went in easy

Cons: Didn't have them even a month. Play three matches of Battlefield 3 and it wont boot the game at all anymore. at first i thought it was my windows 7, i was wrong it is my ram vengence cards. in process of searching for new ram cards

Other Thoughts: kinda want a refund

Pros: Awesome, does its job perfectly, and has the speed I was looking for.

Cons: n/a

Other Thoughts: I want to get an identical black set, but for some reason it costs more and I refuse to support that terrible business tactic.

Pros: Looks cool, works when you aren't playing a game or anything memory heavy.

Cons: I get a blue screen after playing a game for more then 20 minutes. At first I figured it was my GPU, but I swapped my RAM out with my older pair and the crashing stopped.

Other Thoughts: It sucks because I never have time to actually sit down and play games because of work. So by the time I diagnosed that it was my RAM my RMA period was expired. The only games that it doesn't crash on are older game such a Thief, System Shock2.

Any other game I tried would crash.
CounterStrike Source/GO, Max Payne 3, Battlefield 3. Just to name a few.

Pros: Cool and quick! 8 gigs for 50$ I cant complain!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Do not use eggsaver shipping!

DHL is very fast and does their part of the shipping wonderfully, but then they hand it over to USPS's Bulk Mail center. The bulk mail center is where all the first class junk mail that no one is in any particular hurry to receive goes, so they only send trucks out once they are full. I know this because my father worked at our local BMC for 20+ years. My package sat there for a week before finally making it to my local post office and my front door.

Save yourself a headache folks, pay for better shipping!

Pros: -Reliable
-Good price
-Excellent warranty

Cons: -Some configuration issues

Other Thoughts: Bought two kits. One had a bad stick. Through laziness I had to send it back to Corsair. The replacement was shipped out less than a week after I sent the defective product. Would NEVER hesitate to deal with Corsair. They have a customer for life.

Pros: Purchased and have found it to be a great upgrade.
No issues in opporating but am using non overclocked...

Cons: This memory is very tall and I attempted to install
units myself and pulled a wire and shorted my power supply and killed my dvd record/write drive.
So had to take to a tech to have fixed...
No ones fault buy mine...

Pros: Fast, fairly easy to install, no problems so far.

Cons: While installing I had the heat sink split on the top a little bit but it wasn't a big deal. Also I had to manually go into my bios and change the timing.
