Review on πŸ’Ύ Corsair Dominator TWIN2X4096-8500C5D 4GB (2 X 2GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz DDR2 CL5 Dual Channel Desktop Memory by Mike Hicks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They die fast - not worth the price

I have 2 sets (total 4GB). My old set is version 1.1. The kit I just bought is version 2.1. They worked for months and now 1 stick just died. I've read a lot about new ones breaking quickly, but I ordered anyway. Now I have to go through the RMA process. Although they have a very good RMA process. I still like the Corsair memory, but I can no longer recommend the 2.1 version of these Dominators. I think they changed the chips they use in version 2.1. It's not worth the price and headache of the RMA process. I just bought a G.Skill kit with the same specs for 40 percent less. G.Skill works well.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some difficulties
