Review on Corsair Vengeance PC4 24000 Desktop Memory by Steve Cypert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Defective and unstable - RMA restocking fee applied

I bought 2 of these as they were one of the first 32GB UDIMMs to hit the market. While they worked fine on my system after a few BIOS updates, I noticed system instability after a few days. When I ran memtest86 it showed memory errors for hours. No overclocking, no storage, no RAM. The system worked completely in stock. And yet memtest86 showed bitflips at the same addresses every few hours. By testing the DIMMs individually, I was able to identify 3 separate "bad bits" on 3 different sticks (4 total). addresses. So I can only conclude that 3 out of 4 sticks I had are defective. So I decided to just return them all for that reason. To rub salt in the wound, it took 3 months to get a refund only to be charged a 20% restocking fee. I can not believe that! The sticks are wrong. They charged me 20% to put them back into circulation! I don't know if I'm out of luck, but I recommend avoiding this product for now. They are too new and don't seem to have proper quality control. You may well receive defective ones, which I returned!
