Rating + 5 You get what you pay for. And It was worth it!


Pros: During our routine yearly upgrade, we were looking to upgrade our Sony VAIO RB40’s at our studio. We have purchased a couple of the corsair kits as recommended by NewEgg’s memory configuration software on the website. They snap in perfectly, heat-spreaders work well, and don’t touch each other when installed, which allows for air to travel around the sticks. They are heavier than other brands, suggesting a better quality heat spreader material. As for performance, I am more than impressed. Completely compatible from day one. We ran ‘memtest’ for 24 hours with no problem on both computers. This ram is great for games, but more importantly, perfect for 3D modeling and rendering applications.

Cons: The street price is relatively higher than comparable brands, but NewEgg miraculously somehow keeps it low anyway. No cons so far.

Other Thoughts: Ramtest… Well, that’s nice, but we tested the ram in real life work situations. For example by rendering a 3D animation on two PC’s simultaneously fro 48 hours. (The cases were well ventilated) The computers ran as stable in the last 5 minutes of rendering as they did in the first 5. Which means, that after a grueling 48 hours, the chips were good as new.
In case they weren’t its good to know they are warranted for life. The only thing these RAM chips don’t do is play like a harmonica, bring good luck, scare away mountain lions, and open canned food. Other than that, I don’t see a reason for buying anything else, if cost is not a factor.

Rating + 5 Not bad for the price!


Pros: Easy install and posted on my first boot after initial install. Ran SisoftSandra and these sticks clocked in at 2.5-3-3-8. More memory is always a good thing!

Cons: Not as fast as advertised.

Other Thoughts: Extra memory is always a good investment. I can tell that programs start up a little faster with this extra memory even though it is not as fast as advertised.

Pros: I have had this memory for over 3 years, and when I paid for it, it was $xxx. I still feel that it was the best purchase I made for my computer. It is fast and reliable, and it is the best memory I have ever seen. So I surely give this one a big thumbs up.

Cons: There is not any cons to this memory. It is the best DDR400 ram. If you want to spend the extra money, you will not go wrong here.

Pros: Stable, reliable, fast. I use this RAM for digital photo processing and so far the only problem I've had is not having enough of it! I've had this set since Dec. '06, buying an additional set today.

Cons: NONE.

Other Thoughts: Go CAS 4, or 5 if you're an average user, 2, 2.5, or 3 if you're a hardcore gamer/memory user/speed fanatic.

Rating + 5 S\/\/33T


Pros: Some of the best DDR out there. A lot of DDR with such low latency as this is extremely unstable on most mobos. this memory is one of the few exceptions, and has high potential for over clocking (tested).

Cons: Doesn't look as cool as some other not as high quality memory?

Other Thoughts: As you begin to overclock this memory, be sure to adjust the voltage levels to ensure that it's getting enough power, and also increase the latency a little, the memory is great, but the low CAS latency will cause some stability issues if you increase the clock rate of the memory.

Pros: I've owned this RAM since July and it hasn't given me a single problem. In fact, it's probably the most reliable piece of hardware in my computer. Worked Great with Vista RC1 and definitely boots performance in XP Pro and games.

Cons: Price has come down a lot since I bought it... but it was worth it. I guess it's more of a good thing if I decide to buy more :)

Other Thoughts: Haven't been able to Overclock yet, still running with an old Athlon XP 2500+. I may not buy this particular model of ram again... but I WILL buy Corsair XMS/XMS2 in the future with my next build.

Rating + 5 Very Good RAM


Pros: This is very good RAM, the heat sinks also help protect it and they are not too wide when Dual Channel slots are next to each other. My DFI with ATI chipset recognized it and set it perfect without any input from me.

I will continue getting Corsair from NewEgg for all my future builds.

Arrived in less than 3 days, NewEgg is the best.

Cons: Why is RAM so very expensive. I guess it's worth it to have the very best, but off brand isn't any cheaper no matter where you look.

Other Thoughts: I'm very happy with Corsair and NewEgg.

It's nice to have somewhere trustworthy to deal with. Thank You NewEgg.

Pros: Just about every type of XMS memory has a high standard to it's development. Why pay around the same price for other brands, sometimes more. Stick these in just about any DDR system and watch it fly, compaired to other memory. Can't ask for more, Corsair XMS always delivers in speed, stability & quality. These are great! Thanx Newegg!

Cons: I've never known Corsair XMS to have ANY problems. Even in DELL or HP desktops.

Rating + 5 Corsair forever...


Pros: Great heatspreaders, these sticks look killer. I just received my 2nd gig about a week ago. I was so impressed with the 1st sticks that I only waited a week to get the 2nd pair. As usual with Corsair, you plug in and your ready to go. I've been using Corsair sticks for years for many different PC's. From their Value RAM to the XMS and have never had 1 bad stick or 1 problem period for that matter. You know you're getting quality when you buy Corsair and I'll never use any other brand due to their consistency with a great product.

Cons: The automatic timing readings will be 3-3-3-8. You do have to adjust it, but come on, it took me 2 minutes to get into my BIOS and set the sticks at 2.5-3-3-6. I even had it set at 2-3-3-6 as advertised and had absolutely zore problems and my memory past 18 hours of MemTest without any errors. The reason I reset it to 2.5-3-3-6 instead of 2-3-3-6 was because that's what I heard you were supposed to do using AMD cpu's.

Other Thoughts: Great quality memory at an awesome price. $120 for a gig of this? Superb bang for your buck. These sticks here aren't that much more expensive than Value RAM so do yourself a favor and buy these XMS series modules. Or if you're looking at more $$$ sticks don't bother, this stuff is excellent with a few minor adjustments. Don't let the 3-3-3-8 thing scare you off because with 2 minutes worth of tweaking you'll get the same if not better results than the competitors sticks by spending less $$$ All my games and applications run flawlessly and my boot times even increased quite signifigantly. Good stuff here!!!

Rating + 1 Steer Clear


Pros: Nice beefy heatsinks that look like they mean business.

Cons: Flimsy packaging. Would not run in my machine at advertised speeds. Advertised at 2-3-3-6 at 2.7V. It crashed every time at those settings but worked just fine at 3-3-3-8. I didn't pay for 3-3-3-8. RMA'd back to Newegg!

Other Thoughts: Sometimes you read reviews on Newegg and it's easy to spot someone that has no idea what they are doing, and it's obvious why the customer couldn't get something to work. I assure you that isn't the case here. My board is rated to support these sticks, and I've been running 2 512mb sticks of Corsair's Value ram in there for the last 2 years w/ no problems. I know how to adjust timings in the bios and did so but no matter what I tried, I could not get these sticks to run stable at any setting or voltage other than Auto, which places them at 3-3-3-8. Read the reviews here! These sticks have problems running at advertised speeds!!!!! Steer clear... unless of course you can live with 3-3-3-8.

Pros: This ram is fast, running DDR400 with 4 sticks, at 2.75 volts and 2-3-3-6, on MSI K8n Neo4/SLI. When i had these in my old P4 and 865 chipset, i was getting better ram scores then people with the 875.

Cons: Because of JEDEC specs, when first put in the ram goes to 3338, at 2.6, i had to change that. It wont run 2-2-2-6?

Other Thoughts: Well idk if it will run 2-2-2-6 but if i can i would like to know how to do that. maybe at like 2.8V?

Pros: Corsair does it again. For years I've used Corsair memory and have never gotten a bad stick. I ordered this XMS stuff for a new system I just built and it's great. As usual, plug it in, it reads and you're good to go. Like others said, the timings need to be adjusted in BIOS but who cares. Mine read 2.5-3-3-7 but a couple of very simple adjustments and it's running 2-3-3-6 as stated. I have it running at 2.7 volts with the above listed timings and it's very fast and completely stable. I just ran memtest for 3 hours and got 0 errors.

Cons: umm...I didn't get another Gig? Not a con because I'll get one very soon.

Other Thoughts: I just switched from the value RAM and let me tell you it's like night and day. My system boots extremely fast and everything is so much smoother. Buy Corsair, you won't regret it. My system:

Pros: Not a bad price for performance DDR400 memory compared to 2 1/2 years ago! :)
Still mainstream.
Fast, stable and overclockable.
Has ran flawlessly in my Asus A7N8X-E for 2 1/2 years.
Bought this matched pair for my new Asus A8R32-MVP to get me up to 2 GB from 1GB.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I love the stable and quality oriented memory Corsair makes.
They stand behind thier products and provide excellent performance.
Keep in mind Higher GB size memory has higher latency and runs alittle slower.
That is the reason I bought another 1GB kit (2 512s).
DDR2 is still in its infancy (and showing minimal increases in performance) so DDR 400 is just fine.

Pros: I dont think you can beat this deal when I selected my system memory this was the best deal in my price range. I went with 1 gig of ram of the xms series ram because of $ constrictions and also due to word of mouth / reviews. Corsair has good reputation and I believe if you require more than a gig still go with corsair.

Pros: Runs great! Product arrived quickly. Very reliable. I really like the finish over the memory to cover the 8 chips you typically see. It looks very clean and are easier to handle. Perfect if you are concerned about how the interior of your case looks.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: I have had a Media Center PC installed on my A7N8X-X motherboard with Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 memory installed for over a year now with LOTS of crashes but I was unable to determine the cause. I finally found an internet forum where the Kinston memory was listed as having known issues with my motherboard causing instability. Cosair and ASUS recommended this memory for the A7N8X-X to get full DDR 400 speeds. I have been stressing the MCE PC hard and it is running incredibly smoothly and much faster. It is like night and day!

Pros: Runs great at 2-3-3-5 even at 220mhz. I got it to 235 stable but had to loosen the timings up to 3-3-3-8. Thoroughly tested with memtest86 and prime 95 for hours and hours. I always run it at 2.8 volts regardless, unless I'm not overclocking (which is never)

Cons: Its not DDR500 ;)
Ive had this for a long time on an A7N8X and an Barton 2800+ overclock, I never really pushed it till now. 235 is not too shabby, but that's it.

Pros: Corsair makes great RAM and I highly recommend them. If you can find a motherboard this is compatible with I bet you'll be happy.

Cons: If you have an ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard don't buy this RAM! This is the first time Corsair has officially screwed up. There tech-support and webpage list this RAM as compatible but it's not. The motherboard will turn on and stall at post (blank screen, no error beeps). I placed a complaint with Corsair and they didn't pay attention, using the excuse that it works fine with the upgraded motherboard A8N32-SLI. This is the first time Corsair has let me down by listing false information.

Other Thoughts: I'm a highly experienced system builder and reseller who uses both Asus and Corsair on a regular basis.

Rating + 5 RAM out paces mobo


Pros: Well, its does what its suppose to. The XMS series of RAM from Corsair is inttended to be overclocked. It does an excellent job of that.

Cons: Not really a con, but it is best placed here. My mother board, a Gigabyte, can't seem to handle HTT frequencies greater then 234. From listening to the users at Corsiar's forums, this RAM can go alot further. I personaly wanted to get it to run at DDR 486 (for laughs) but that would require an HTT clock of 243. The point is that if you don't have an overclocking board, you should stick with the regular Corsair RAM. I switch through computer parts quickly so I'll upgrade my RAM's speed by getting a new mobo.

Other Thoughts: While my mentioning of overclocking is mentioned in respects to the makers wishes, the fallowing is not, yet is still on the "don't do that" list. However, I beleive its inportant to mention.
When I purchased this RAM, the base cost was $11 cheaper then it is now. Computer components depreciate in value with time, very quickly. There a leason here: it isn't always best to wait for a price drop becuase some times it can go up.

Pros: GooD thing i order from Newegg. Order Monday April 10 and got it Wednesday April 12. Now That's Fast. good thing it was that fast so now My RMA can go faster :(

Cons: Stated Ram Timings on Neweggs and Corsair's website are FALSE! Newegg must be told a lie by Corsair if they're still putting up the 2-3-3-6 RAM Timings. This RAM will Default to 3-3-3-8 timings if set to auto detect. they would not pass MemtestX86 v3.2 or v1.65 in dual channel mode. I had over 5071 errors when i ran memtestX86

Other Thoughts: I'm hoping I'll get a good batch back from My RMA with newegg. I tried posting on the Houseofhelp forums for Corsairs "RAM GUY" and i got told to flash my system with the wrong bios,he said my settings of FSB200Mhz by multi 11 wouldn't really accurate test the memory (Whatever). I called corsair out on this one and their "RAM GUY" lied to me and wouldn't give me a straight reply; keeps saying it's something else with my system Hopegully I'll get a good batch back and maybe ccorsair will redeem themselves. if not i guess i'll switch to a brand where they don't lie to you

Pros: Stable Clocks @ Slight O/C.... The heat spreaders really help if you have a cramped system case, like me, a shuttle SN95G5V3. My motherboard recognized them instantly. Also, another plus is the Corsair name, which is the leader in memory solution

Cons: FLimsy plastic pacaging, you could easily damage these things if not double sealed and packed. NO anti-static materials at all in packaging, infact it doesn't look like they would survive a 6ft drop, even with the flimsy plastic case.

Pros: Stable at 500 MHz, Cool looking heat spreader and good price.

Cons: My new system with an Asus A8N-SLI would not boot when I first put it together which was very frustrating after spending hundreds of dollars on it. I thought it was the mobo, but after grabbing some old ram from my parents computer it booted up and after that the Corsair ram worked. What really upsetted me was that I made sure to check Corsair's website to make sure it was compatible with my mobo which it said it was.

Other Thoughts: Checking Corsair's message board, from what I could tell these sticks use Promos IC's. I was expecting a high quality chip like samsung or winbond in their "XMS" series.

Pros: Heatspreaders are a nice option if you are looking to overclock your computer. 1GB is really all i need to my purposes, even though my mobo and cpu do not support dual channel.

Cons: Like several people have mentioned the ram doesnt run as it is stated. it is 2.5 CAS latency rather than 2. you can get it to 2 if you run it slower.

Other Thoughts: If youre looking to overclock your system definitely get ram with a heatspreader.

Rating + 1 Be very careful.


Pros: Very fast, lifetime warranty, good support.

Cons: Mem suppliers such as Crucial/Corsair use a pick and tweak/test system, with tiered marketing, which works well for them and customers. The down side is things like this: The XMS series require a high voltage to achieve performance, at least 2.7 VDC. If the default settings of your mobo do not meet this requirement, the system will not boot. It is necessary to boot with cheaper RAM, bump the voltage, and then install the XMS. No problem for geeks, but for the ordinary guy, unsupportable.

Other Thoughts: This caveat applies to the Asus A8N SLI Premium and the DFY Lanpary motherboards.

One could blame the mobo mfrs for this dilemma, but memory cannot be ID'd upon boot, so it is probably not possible with present technology for them to remedy this situation.

Rating + 5 Great ram


Pros: Works as advertised. True that the rams don't default to 2-3-3-6 when using SPD detection setting. But by manually adjusting you MB bios to it's advertise speed, the memories does work. To all those complaining below of problems the first # represents the CAS, sec # = (tRCD) Ras to Cas delay, third # = (tRP) Ras to Precharge, fourth # = (tRAS) Active to Precharge, and finally the (x)T refers to the Command rate. Ex: 2-3-3-6 2T. X representing a numeric digit from 1-9. Use this as a reference. Also some users may require to adjust your memory voltage setting. For you noobies do your research before jumping to conclusions and stop whining.

Cons: None that i can see. Although Corsair could try dressing up their rams a little like the way OCZ does.

Other Thoughts: Corsair website doesn't provide enough info on the rams (x)T rating, so you may have to experiment a little to find the matching setting.

Pros: Dual Channel is fast, I already had a stick of 512mb ram from corsair xms and just thought i'd add more so I added dual channel and it is just blazing, my computer is like its brand new, really solved my problem.

Cons: None at all.

Other Thoughts: If your looking to buy some ram for fast paced gaming this is it, don't go and buy value ram for gaming. Buy XMS its great

Rating + 5 Solid with work


Pros: On an ASUS A8N-SLI Prim w/4400+x2 2xEVGA 7800GT. I am running 4x512 of this mem. I know people say go with the 2x1024. Currently I have this running 2-3-3-6 2t 2.75v 400mhz. Have run the system through 3DMark06 several times pulling a 6800 ratting. Not bad since I still have stock settings on CPU and vid cards. This is a sub 3k sys build. The mem is solid just takes a lill work. FYI Corsair warentys there mem up to 2.9v Dont stress about bumping it up a bit.

Cons: Took a lill more work that expected to get the settings I wanted.

Rating + 5 Set the Timings and Voltage


Pros: Works Perfectly at advertised timings. DDR 400 2-3-3-6-1T @ 2.75 volts.

Cons: Timings and Voltage must be manually set in bios.

Other Thoughts: Defaults to 3-3-3-8-2T. Make sure you can set the timings and voltage in your bios.

Rating + 5 Great Ram


Pros: The ram works great off the back, but if you know how to change the timings to what is originally stated then they are SMOKING fast.. I changed it to 2,3,3,6 and let me tell you.. It makes quite a difference..

Cons: The timing is off.. You must change it if you really want to untap the power of this ram..

Other Thoughts: Maybe they should just state straight up that the ram isn't running at the proper clocks.. Then again, it isn't hard to change it.

Rating + 5 Fast


Pros: I am running timings at 2.5, 3, 3, 8 and 1.6 v. I have no problems at these timings, tested with memtest. I get around 8800 mbs running in dual channel with nforce ultra chipset. Very Pleased.

Cons: None

Rating + 5 This RAM is Sick !!


Pros: What is there to be said that hasn't already been said? This RAM is sick! I've got it running at 470Mhz chewing through data like it's an all you can eat buffet. it's matching my socket 939 AMD64 3400+ (stock speed of 2.2Ghz) OC'ed to 2.6Ghz. This RAM is just doing it for me right now. My Gigbyte K8U-939 motherboard doesn't let me manually set the RAM timings but I'm sure it's running at or just above advertised timings.

Cons: Why would anyone want to write anything here about this RAM unless they were unlucky to have a bad experience?

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a decent upgrade without the steep price tag then this is the RAM for you. Trusted track record, trusted brand name, trusted product...what more do you need to look at?

Rating + 1 Boguts Timing


Pros: Nice heat spreader.

Cons: SPD timings totally out of whack with advertised/marked timing. The 2-3-3-6 timing applies to 133MHz (PC2100) speed, _not_ to 200MHz (PC3200) speed. Check it w/ CPUiD, folks. The timings for PC3200 are 3-3-3-8. Maybe that would be OK if these sticks could be set faster and actually work, but memtest 86 proves they don't. Didn't even work w/ the 166MHz setting (2.5-3-3-8?) at 200MHz. My Golden Emperor International Limited ram (also bought at NE) kicks sand in this ram's face, and takes it's lunch. Feh..

Other Thoughts: This is a definite RMA for inappropriately advertised specifications. I checked the packaging, and this _is_ the CL2 Twin X I was sent. Too bad this is _really_ CL3 at 400MHz. Wholy mother of Pete...
