Review on Corsair XMS3 PC3 10666 240 Pin Memory by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 5 out of 5

terrible product - poor manufacture but excellent customer service

(16gb upgrade) when I first installed the memory cards they worked fine for the first few days but with MEMORY they noticed intermittent freezes for no particular reason and blue screens resets to BSOD. After spending the past few weeks troubleshooting, including a fresh and clean reinstall of Win 7SP1+ on another SSD and various Lenovo-supplied system and hardware assessment software that kept reporting me a memory issue, I returned to the equivalents of Swapping Corsair for Kingston no further questions. This is absolutely horrible and I am deeply disappointed - HOWEVER kudos to Corsair's warranty and customer service - after contacting them asking for an exchange they responded fairly quickly with their latest version of the XMS3 in a yellow blister pack which wowed received reviews - overall still big problems, but at least they support their products, which gave me some relief - the system is working very well again, and no more BSODs or freezes so far.

Pros
  • nice packaging
Cons
  • crumpled packaging
