CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9

Pros: Great memory, no failures or errors after 1 month of heavy use. Upgraded my Alienware M17 to 16 GB of memory and it runs at 1600 like it should. Great specs on the timing too.

Cons: Like the previous reviews said, it is a paper sticker not a heat sink.

Overall Review: I am sure that in a notebook a heat sink really doesn't matter much. Because it will get hot regardless, and most notebooks can't be overclocked anyway.

Pros: +works out of the box at 1600mhz +No heatspreaders, so fits on any laptop. Heatspreaders are gimmicks anyways, they don't do much for SODIMMs +Error free all 16GB worth (2X this kit) +Nice stickers? +Great timing +Great Value

Cons: None that I can think of right now. Perhaps 1866 version to be cheaper?

Overall Review: For the people that don't understand how to use CPU-Z it reports the "speed" in single channel frequencies. In other words these RAM runs at 1600MHZ in dual channel, meaning it is suppose to show 800mhz under CPU-Z. I can't comment on other computers, but it works with my G53SX. I believe that this memory will work with almost all 2ND GENERATION core i5 and i7. I think Corsair did a good job with this memory, exactly as advertised, I don't understand the low rating. Fine product at a fine price. Understand the product before giving a low rating. This only will discourage other users from purchasing and ultimately discouraging manufacturers to make cutting edge products, because of lack of understanding. GOOD JOB CORSAIR, finally an alternative to the overpriced hyperX.

Pros: Runs at rated speed and timings in a Lenovo X220 with an i5 2520m without any BIOS adjustments on my part Lifetime warranty

Cons: I guess it could be a con, but like others have said, those are basic stickers, not heat spreaders. But DDR3 doesn't get too hot anyway, so I'm kind of fishing when I call that a con.

Overall Review: Upgraded from 6GB 1333mhz ram to this kit. Probably won't notice the improvement in speed over the stock ram, but this kit was on sale that dropped it into the price range of a decent set of 1333mhz DIMMs.

Pros: It is fast, responsive, no issues.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Wifey complained about the lag from the stock memory. Grabbed this set, switched out in two minutes, and she was happy. Happy wife, happy life.

Pros: No setup required. My computer automatically recognized the new ram. Increased my performance by leaps and bounds.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Upgraded the incredibly slow stock ram RAM on my new ASUS G75-VM 17.3 inch laptop

Pros: Very nice RAM, came packaged nicely as well. Performance is as expected. Down clocks easy and is super stable. Reason I mention this is because the Sapphire VS8 I put this into, auto down clocks the RAM to 1333 and tightens the timings to 9-8-9-20-33. There is no way around this in the BIOS for the VS8, it's just something you'll have to live with. However, Sapphire intended for this to happen because the RAM is on their QVL and lists what it will down clock to.

Cons: None

Overall Review: For those other people that state their RAM isn't stable at the rated spec, have you checked your QVL and does your hardware actually support it? I've used Corsair memory since 2010 in every system I own and have built for family and friends with out any issues. Just saying it might be user error.....

Pros: Easy to install. No setup required. I swapped out the 2 x 2GB sticks in my laptop for these. My computer automatically recognized the increase in RAM/Speed. Increased my performance substantially.

Cons: None

Overall Review: You can't beat them for the price!

Pros: Great RAM, works as advertised

Cons: none

Overall Review: Mr. Clean has a processor that requires RAM with XMP. this ram does not have it. if it did, Mr. Clean would get 1600mhz, but i guess he is not smart enough to buy ram with XMP for his laptop. remove his review because its bringing down the rating of this ram. it shouldnt have to suffer for stupid people
