5 out of 5 eggsREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Pros: This Memory is a very good, high quality product. It is also very well supported by the manufacturer if you have a problem. My system is an i5-750 2.66Ghz running at 3.36Ghz, and its rock solid and cool all running on air. Better than I expected. Thanks Corsair and Newegg!

Cons: Having to read the stuff that some people that don't know what they are talking about write.

Other Thoughts: As far as the Rebate is concerned, if you don't wait until the 21st day to send it in you will get it. If you don't do YOUR part don't whine if you don't get the rebate or expect Corsair to make an exception for "You" because your ...... you....putz

5 out of 5 eggsVery Good Product

Pros: This memory is fine. The product does what it is supposed to do and more. I built an i5-750 based system and it runs great.

Cons: None at all.

Other Thoughts: I am amazed at how many people post really dumb comments about the "memory isn't recognized at 1600" or "OK after I corrected in bios" blah blah blah. People KNOW your systems components and specs before you make statements about the product not do what its advertised at. All of these systems mentioned are 1333 by default so when you plug in a stick rated at 1600 or 2400 or a million its going to default to 1333 as the system designed to do. You will then need to make the adjustments required to achive the added "speed" your memory is capable of. ALL memory rated above the defalt speed is backward compatible regarding speed so it will default to the default rating of the MOBO chipset. POINT, know what your talking about before you run your jib.

5 out of 5 eggsVery good value

Pros: Good fast ram for less than $100! I did end up buying 3 sets of this to run 12gb in tri channel because its cheaper to buy 3 sets of this than the exact same ram in a 12gb pack. Not a single dead stick out of 6 and runs very well in my system.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Definitely worth the money.

1 out of 5 eggs

Pros: good newegg shipping as usual

Cons: both sticks went bad in little over a week. Worked great up until that point. Then is was BSOD at least 50% of the times I booted up. Ran memtest, and instantly got thousands of errors.

Other Thoughts: RMA'd both, hopefully the next two will work consistently

1 out of 5 eggsRam OK, beware the rebate

Pros: New RAM is OK after RMA.

Cons: Incompatibility problems, bad sticks, rebate refused.

Other Thoughts: The first problem was that I got two bad sticks. After going through the RMA process the new pair was OK. The other problem was with the rebate. I read carefully, you get 21 days from date of purchase, not 30. OK. I quickly sent it in and it was rejected because the day they say received it -- not the day I sent it (post mark date) was after the 21 days. If you do decide to buy Corsiar, do not expect to actually get the rebate. They'll weasel out of it somehow.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks fine

Pros: Works as expected. My board picked it up as 1333 but I had no problem getting that fixed.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Running on an ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 board with a Phenom 1055t all snuggled nicely inside a HAF932. I'll probably add another 4gb for overkill purposes.

5 out of 5 eggsFunctional RAM

Pros: Memory functions as it should with an AMD setup (Phenom IIx4 965).

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Bought this set from Best Buy after I had to RMA TWO defective sets of G.Skill ECO chips and didn't want to pay shipping again if i managed to get another defective set. Turns out I chose a good brand to turn to - Corsair. It just works.

3 out of 5 eggsOne stick bad, one stick good

Pros: This memory is fast when it's working. Corsair has a lifetime warrenty on DRAM.

Cons: Bought this pair in January, computer started acting funny in June. After 2 months of swapping out various pieces reloading the OS and contacting Microsoft support (shudder), it turns out one of the sticks went bad sometime between January (when it tested clean) and now and was slowly corrupting my OS system files. Besides an increasing number of BSODs, my OS eventually stopped applying windows updates due to the number of corrupt system files. I've RMA'd the pair, and hopefully the replacements will work longer than 6 months.

Other Thoughts: Read another comment on here about the RAM voltage not autosensing correctly in the BIOS. I'll check that out before running on the replacement RAM. Also, read another comment about these being for Intel CPU's? C'mon, that's just a marketing agreement, right? RAM should be RAM whether Intel or AMD. That comment makes no sense to me.

4 out of 5 eggssad incompatibility

Pros: Looks neat. I heart Corsair.

Cons: Incompatible with my Biostar motherboard. Didnt notice the way the plug in looked. uneven. I dont want to send them back strait up, I'd like to get some that are compatible with my motherboard. But i may have to anyways.

Other Thoughts: I'll give it 4 eggs because of my last buy from them. A very similar model actually, XMS2 DDR2
