The fastest ship in the ocean just got faster. Corsair's XMS3 modules take performance to the next level and beyond. This dual channel kit has been tested together to work at 1600Hz at latencies of 9-9-9-24. Once the modules were tested they were immediately packaged to ensure that the matched sets stayed together.
Corsair's legendary reliability is backed with a lifetime warranty. The dual path DHX aluminum heat spreaders on the modules help to extend their life by keeping them cool. The extended chip coolers are supplemented by a PCB cooler. Both sets of coolers are finned for extra surface area. The chip coolers are ribbed for maximum cooling area. Win the race with Corsair XMS3 memory modules.

Corsair XMS3 Series TWIN3X DDR3 SDRAMThe cutting-edge XMS3 series DDR3 memory from Corsair delivers outstanding memory performance and stability to any dual-channel DDR3-based motherboard. The Twin3x modules have been tested extensively to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
Dual-path Heat eXchange TechnologyCorsair-exclusive Dual-path Heat eXchange (DHX) technology utilizes both conductive and convective cooling paths to effectively remove heat from the memory circuit board for maximized heat dissipation, resulting in enhanced reliability, stability and performance capability even in the most extremely overclocked memory module.
Pros: Fast, DDR3, overclocked to 1600Mhz in BIOS easily (timing 9-9-9-24 at 1.8v). Works well with my EVGA 790i.
Cons: Not much of a con, but the packaging said '2x1Gb'. I panicked and thought Newegg sent the wrong item. I double checked the chips and it was fine.
Overall Review: This ram was a bit pricey, but not as much as the other chips which are priced at $700 or more. This was the fastest 4Gb set with the best price. If you wanna splurge a little on yourself when going DDR3, and you're gonna use 64 bit Vista, these sticks aren't too shabby.
