Review on πŸ’» Corsair XMS3 16GB DDR3 1333 MHz Desktop Memory - Enhanced Performance for Your PC by John Carter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Read all reviews before buying!

As the name suggests, be sure to read all reviews. I did this myself and yes in good faith despite other unfavorable reviews I bought the 8gb xms3 sticks in pairs, first trying to install them together with two other 4gb xms3 sticks. Now my computer wouldn't even boot with this configuration so I pulled out 2 4GB sticks and voila, my computer started with 16GB of glory. Within 2 weeks my computer was working great, even in my favorite games. But suddenly today my computer cleared the memory from blue screens left and right, pulled out 2 8GB sticks and replaced them with my previous 2-4GB sticks. And what do you think happened, yes it booted right away with no issues. Which brings me to my review of this product, I still have faith in Corsair, I just hope I can find the box so I can send it back and get a refund or exchange. Overall the RAM gave me great performance while I was able to use it, but how many people found that they accidentally get junk out of the line with 8GB XMS3 sticks and here's what happens. Unfortunately, few who buy this sheep either get a lot or they get poured right out of the gate or later onto the street like me. Attention buyers 1/10
