fish98 Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/17/2010 6:48:55 PM Pros: Ordered from Newegg! Put these in and they fired right up. No problems! Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: Excellent memory from a trusted name in the business, but just wish they were a little cheaper, other than that good memory and great service from Newegg!!!

N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/22/2009 12:19:45 AM Pros: I have to admit, I don't know much about RAM. At seeing some of the recent reviews, I decided to poke around to see how it was working in my computer. It appears to be working as advertised. All I did was plug them in and everything worked just fine. I'm really not too sure what the recent rush of bad ratings are about. Cons: Despite how many times I've asked it politely, it still won't make breakfast for me. Past that, none. Other Thoughts: I've always purchased random off the shelf brands when getting new RAM, and always have had some sort of problems. This worked great, so now I'm a Corsair fan.

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/14/2009 9:06:16 AM Pros: Corsair name. Cons: Can't get it stable with Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3LR. Tried Beta Bios update, adjusting voltages and I haven't had any luck. I'm not interested in an OC or underclocked solution, just want it to run stable at 1333. The system identifies it as 1333 but it locks up while loading the OS, if I do get it loaded it'll lock up during updates. Other Thoughts: I have a feeling this is a conflict with the mobo and ram, and it might not be just the RAM causing problems. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

brianjmh Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/4/2009 4:32:31 PM Never Buy Corsair Pros: None Cons: The speed rating is seriously overstated It was originally 1066 memory that has been re branded Other Thoughts: If I drop the clock down to 800Mhz it's stable. 2 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/1/2009 5:56:49 PM faulty Pros: None. Cons: Both sticks came faulty.

Frank Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/27/2009 11:19:14 PM Very Good Pros: Since it is Platinum Corsair this ram has been overclocked with success to 1575 without core v increase. No problems, and runs all games smoothly. My system is; MSI GD70 mobo, 2X Radeon 3850 w/512MB DDR3 each, and Phenom2 550 x2. PC Power Cooling 750Q PS as the final matchup. All in all, all parts run cool and fast. Cons: I only use Corsair, Mushkin, and Crucial and have no problems. Whatever I choose, I either match up online or give the vendor a call. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Meltdown08 Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/3/2009 10:31:20 AM Great RAM Pros: What can I say? Its Corsair!!!! You can never fail with corsair no matter what rig your building. You get what you paid for. I was thinking of buying another set to bring me up to 8GB however the price increased about 20 bucks over the last month. I'll wait alittle longer for the price to drop back down to the seventies before I buy another pair. Cons: The CAS is alittle higher that I would want; however, lower CAS latency were only offered by lesser reliable brands with extremely low ratings. I wish they had better heat spreaders on them. Not anything like the gigantic fins which often enough will interfere with aftermarket CPU coolers... but something with more surface area so I can OC these bad boys Other Thoughts: My Rig: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz w/ Scythe MUGEN-2 SCMG-2000 120mm CPU Cooler ASUS M4A79T Deluxe COOLER MASTER HAF 932 CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W Western Digital Caviar Green WD7500AADS 750GB SATA SABRENT CRW-FLP2 All-in-one USB 2.0 Floppy Drive Did you find this review helpful?

JS Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	6/17/2009 5:48:37 PM Just Works Pros: As always, it just seems to work. Good price. Heat spreaders included. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I've always had good luck with the XMS series in both DDR2 and DDR3 flavors. They just always seem to work (at stock speeds) without any messing around with BIOS settings or anything. Gotta love that. Did you find this review helpful?

Smithnc07 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	6/2/2009 3:36:34 PM Pros: Corsair Ram. Cons: One of the two sticks was bad. If it was in the system at all, then it wouldn't post(no fans, lights, nothing). The other stick was fine and I got to use it for a short time before having to RMA them both in for replacement. Other Thoughts: As a pair I had to send both back for replacement. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

mcvice Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/30/2009 10:21:20 AM runs as advertised Pros: Runs at advertised speed and latency etc. No problems. Cons: newegg should ship me my ram in a box that is a bit smaller than the enormous shoebox mine came in. Save a tree dudes! 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?

mr.chanh Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	3/24/2009 10:48:00 PM on par Pros: Very solid ram, plugged in and no problems. very responsive. only $49.99 from a local shop (would you like ____ with that?) Cons: my old setup was running corsair xms2, pc6400 and the upgrade to 4gb xms3 running 1333 only gave me 100 points better in a benchmarking system, very unimpressed. Other Thoughts: i was expecting a large performance increase and i noticed it was a little more responsive. BUT the benchmark system only scored 100 points better than my xms2 pc6400 other than that works great though! 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/12/2009 7:31:05 AM It works just fine Pros: Memory works great with no problem. Took it out plugged it in and booted without a hitch. dual boot with xp pro x86 and vista ultimate x64. Vista reads it all with a 5.9 on the index. boot times seem a bit faster from upgrading from ddr2 Cons: none Other Thoughts: Havin some problems overclocking it. I really didn't invest too much time in trying to over clock it. But thats an error on my part on not understanding memory overclock that well and possibly that my mobo isn't really the best overclocker out there.
