Solid Performer in a Small Package9/10/2012 10:44:39 AM
Pros: Works extremely well with 9-9-9-24 despite its advertised C10 timings.
Shorter rams means no restrictions with bigger air-cooled heatsinks. (E.g Noctua NH-C14)
Sleek black finish. No bleaches or marks on heatsink.
Cons: There are some shorter low-profile RAMs available in the market. However, the Corsair LP Vengeance met my requirements. You might need to explore if the RAMs meet your height clearance requirements.
Pros: Purchase 2 kits for a total of 32 gigs. Low profile so they fit under my after market cooler , overclock-able ,have mine running at 1750mhz. They look nice.
Cons: only cons are that my mobo didnt allow them to be set to 1600mhz right off the bat the were running at 1333. Had to fine tune in the bios. 2nd con is they went up in price. I purchase a kit summer of 2012 for 85$ 4x4 gigs. These were 120$+ tax but then again i guess cause its 2 8 gig sticks it was more.
Overall Review: Im in a 3D animation program and needed to cut all the bottlenecks out of my system , I know 32 gigs is overkill for most people but for video composing and 3D creation especially when your doing it in HD resolution you can never have enough resources.

Pros: Works as advertised, Fits under the TPC 812.
Pros: Corsair supports their products, and excellent performance.
Not much I can say here, but it is getting very easy to setup a high frequency set of ram. I just enable the XMP in EFI and you're rockin and rolling.
In the cons section I point out that I had a stick go bad on me, but Corsair turns this con into a pro as they sent out an advance replacement very quickly. I sent my bad stick to them and all was well. They advanced a brand new kit with two new sticks as well, not just "the faulty part". I appreciated that.
Cons: I had a stick go bad on me. After about two months I started getting bsod's and odd crashes. I ran memtest from a thumbdrive and it found one of my sticks to be bad.
Pros: This RAM is great, and fast, I bought 32GB and it all worked out of the box, I did have to set the 1600MHZ frequency manually in the BIOS with the X.M.P, but no biggie.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I tried to OC this RAM, but I just couldn't get it to go past 1600mhz, turned off X.M.P. I loosened the timings, gave it more voltage and still nothing, not a big deal its fast enough as it is, but just wondering if I'm missing something.
Pros: Works extremely well with 9-9-9-24 despite its advertised C10 timings. Shorter rams means no restrictions with bigger air-cooled heatsinks. (E.g Noctua NH-C14) Sleek black finish. No bleaches or marks on heatsink.
