Pros: Works as it says. Fair price I think. Show up under WEI at 7.8 out of the box. No problems with my board recognizing all six sticks of the two kits I bought. It does show up by default with a lower clock speed but turn on XMP and it dials right in to the speed and timings. With all six sockets filled on the mobo and the size of the heat sinks on these sticks, it almost looks like a solid black block on the board instead of what you typically think to see memory looking like on a board.

Cons: None really. Being bundled with a cooling fan would have been nice. It's not GT but I did not really see an equivalent available in this speed and timing (at least not from Newegg) so I am not really sure what advantage the GT would have given if any other than they typically come with the fan. The blue writing on this matches everything else in my case better than the red on the GT memory anyway. Plus you can still get the fan separate for rather cheap.

Overall Review: I almost bought XMS3 with a higher clock speed but a CAS of 9 for about the same price but getting it past 1600 seems to be touchy for some folks and Corsairs site didn't list it as XMP supported (though people were saying it still worked). Plus the dominator version of the higher speeds starts climbing in price. So rather than having to mess around to get the clock speed I paid for I went with the better CAS rating and the nicer heat sinks. With hassle free settings, no bad sticks and the high performance rating, I am definitely happy with this purchase.

Pros: Quick easy install.

Cons: The memory does default to 1066 like a previous reviewer mention.

Overall Review: One reviewer mentioned that space may be an an issue. These chips are a big larger height wise so some issues may arise depending on your MB and heatsink setup. I had no issues installing these on a GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R mb with a CoolerMaster V8 heatsink/cpu fan.

Pros: These Corsair Dominators, while not GT models, are great value for money. Timings are nice and tight at stock settings, which is great for those not desiring to overclock the heck out of their RAM.

Cons: None as yet.

Overall Review: Unless you intend to overclock your RAM, these are (imho) a better choice than the more expensive GT model Dominators.

Pros: excellent memory worked fine on my sabertooth x58 board.

Cons: none

Pros: Has worked like a charm since day 1 Seems fast

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: The price has dropped 40 bucks since I bought it so it WAS pricey. I'm thinking about getting my son some as well since he's a gamer and speed is nice.

Pros: FAST!

Cons: price......but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: Buy it already!

Pros: Very simple installation.

Cons: Does default to 1066. I enabled Extreme Memory Profiles in my BIOS, which fixed the problem.

Overall Review: The extended heat sinks almost, but not quite, touch one of the fans on my CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus. I was going to get one of the Corsair CMXAF2 memory fan units, but I don't think it will fit.

Pros: Fantastic RAM! Ordered two of these, totaling 12 gigs/6 sticks. No dead modules. Great quality. Highly recommend.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Make sure you have a solid understanding of the space you have in your case. The heatsink on each module is huge. I had to swap out my cpu heatsink to fill all the DIMM slots.
