🔒 Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1600C11 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz PC3 12800 Desktop Memory - High-Speed 240-Pin RAM Module Review

I bought two memory packs, each with two 2GB modules. I wanted to put 8GB in this machine. A module was defective. I called Corsair Direct and they said it would take time to find a replacement. Not only did they accept one replacement memory module, I had to send two back which made the package complete. I have to deliver this car in two days. In the end I decided it wasn't worth going back to Revain and Corsair making it wouldn't change just one module, the bad one. So I'm not happy and will…

People spend big bucks to buy expensive memory and lots of gigs. For modern systems, memory isn't as important as it was a few years ago. Buying real RAM sticks from a reputable dealer like Corsair is very important. If you're not into heavy games where you need to overclock everything and still generate loads of heat, so you need thermal fins, then that's fine. For the average user, save some money and buy a better processor. Remember that it is DDR3. So to use their full potential, you need…

Yes, DDR3 memory is a commodity. But in January 2012, being able to get 16GB kits for $75 each was a breakthrough price. So I ordered four sets, all installed in the same phone, and the software world looks very different from the perspective of the first and only 64GB machine I've used. This is what the future looks like. The 8 DIMMs I received have no errors or defects. They were all made in the same week and are perfectly timed as far as my motherboard can tell. When installing eight DIMMs…

I bought this memory to replace a different brand memory stick that no longer works. This is your no-nonsense reminder. It's fast and cheap. I'm using 32GB which allows Windows 7 to fly. All four Wands of this Aries passed memtest86. As a developer, I use the extra memory to run virtual machine instances. I can quickly provision a virtual server with my SQL database and a virtual server with my application and still have plenty of RAM left over for my bloated IDE. If you are using this RAM with

I bought this for a new budget gaming pc I was putting together and only got one joystick (it works in single channel mode). I can't praise that enough. I have no issues with it, it runs at 1600MHz as long as your BIOS says so and it's worth every penny. I'll be getting another one of these soon, but only if I feel I really need it. I'm using it on Windows 8 Pro and if you edit the Windows performance options and make sure you select the allocation for the best performance, it uses very little…

I bought this memory along with Intel i7 3770 and Gigabyte Z77-DS3H. I could have bought the 1600 version but went with 1333MHz. I lose some productivity but it gave me peace of mind as I assembled the computer. Sometimes it's useful to use an older model instead of the latest and greatest when creating a build that is theoretically unsupported. My research came up with 1333MHz with this comb proc and mobo so I went with that. I couldn't be happier. Would give 5 stars but this is not the…

I work as a software engineer and wanted to pack more RAM on my workstation at work, but this motherboard is cheaper and only has two DIMMs, each already has 2GB in it Celebration. This allowed me to get a significant amount of RAM for current standards, within a budget that the company was happy to cover. My computer had no problem recognizing new RAM and was up and running again in minutes with noticeably less slowdown under heavy use. IDE (Programming Environments) and Photoshop, both of…
