This review is from: CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C9
Pros:
Had six gig of same part number memory that worked fine for over 3 yrs
Cons:
CORSAIR HAS CHANGED THE BOARD DESIGN on this memory to a type which is INCOMPATIBLE WITH EARLIER VERSIONS of SAME PART NUMBER memory.
Overall Review:
I had ver 1.1 memory before and the new memory was ver 8.16. EXACT SAME PART NUMBER but DIFFERENT and INCOMPATIBLE memory. I plugged the new memory in, hoping to boot with 12 gig and C1 memory error and NO BOOT to POST on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard. Contacted Corsair and their tech support said they were incompatible board designs but they were unwilling to correct problem. Newegg, fortunately agreed to RMA and swap old memory for newer, compatible version. GOOD JOB NEWEGG!!
