Perfect. for memory

added 4 of these to my old x79 sabertooth board at 3930k at 4.6ghz for a ridiculous 64gb of ram. Initially I couldn't boot it with all 8 sticks and OC but found I had to increase the current DRAM AB and DRAM CD capabilities to 130% for the OC to work properly. All 8 sticks on 9 10 9 27 2t 1600 now run no problem and 4.6 GHz oc.

Pros
  • glitter
Cons
  • packaging is ugly

Excellent RAM, XMP profile not configured correctly

I bought this RAM to replace my old Gskill 4x4gb 16gb DDR3 1866mhz kit I had. Two flash drives started to fail and I couldn't send them under warranty because I lost the receipt. This RAM worked right away with my AsRock Z77 Professional-M motherboard. By default it was set to DDR3 1333MHz 1.5V. I had to manually tune it to its default DDR3 frequency of 1600MHz. It wasn't a problem. I've never had RAM trimmed to its rated speed since my old 2004 DDR 400 kit, lol. RAM heatsinks do a really great

  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

High quality ram! - Memory

These are the second batch I have received from Corsair and they work great! No RAM errors and excellent performance. Highly recommended as this particular RAM comes with a limited lifetime warranty and for good reason. This ram will keep going in your build!

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Works great with my SABERTOOTH Z77 and i7-3770K

Here's what I had on my system: (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz (PC3 12800) Worked fine except when trying to start a virtual machine . Sometimes things got stuck. I just didn't have enough memory. ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) ASIN: B0085IWXB8 After consulting ASUS, I installed these memory slots along with my old 4GB modules. work a little better. No more freezing when running a virtual machine. Very satisfied.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Unusable Features

Great purchase - with only one small issue that was easy to fix

Bought these to replace the defective 8GB (2x4GB) DIMMs that came with my computer. Charges easily and works well. Just a caveat/note: By default, this RAM runs at 1333MHz. You need to go into your BIOS and enable the Intel XMP profile for it to run at 1600MHz. This seems strange since 1600MHz is the default setting on most (if not all) Haswell enabled motherboards. I wish I could give 4.5 stars as this is a relatively small thing, but I think if you don't know how to look for it you won't…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost OK

I already have 16GB on the same Corsair Vengeance 16.

I already have 16GB with the same number Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) and had no problems with it. I decided to buy another pair with the same model number to add the full 32GB of RAM. However, initially the Windows 10 computer would not start and I only saw the Windows logo with a circle spinning forever. I have a Gigabyte Z68 motherboard. After some research, the solution was to disable embedded video to allow 4 x 8GB or 32GB. Fortunately, I already have an additional PCI Express graphics…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Great RAM, worthy upgrade!

I upgraded to this 16GB RAM combo and my work performance has improved. If you use your computer for memory-intensive tasks like video editing (which I do in small batches, mostly short clips edited for a family video), do yourself a favor and make sure you have the maximum amount of RAM feature that your system allows . In my case, my mini-ITX machine that I assembled over a year ago was really struggling until I started using these Corsair Vengeance sticks. Now I can complete projects in no…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Solid RAM for computer components

I've been using Corsair RAM for ten years and the RAM is great. Fast, easy to overclock, with excellent heat dissipation. People using aftermarket air coolers may have gap issues as the heatsinks are tall. Keep in mind that this RAM will not run at the advertised speed like some RAMs that are downgraded by default. You need to adjust speed in bios to get normal speed. This can be a problem for people unfamiliar with overclocking, but it's an easy fix. Highly recommended, this ram is dependable…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Long wait
