Review on 💾 Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 Dual Channel Memory Kit 1.5V (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) by Cyrus Wright

I needed an identical kit to add to the original 2x4GB Vengeance kit I bought with my build. With few exceptions, RAM is RAM, but again, with few exceptions. I discovered that the timings and information on the Serial Presence Detect chip or SPD-ROM are not identical to my original 2x4GB kit, making it clear that not every Corsair 2x4GB kit is guaranteed to be identical, which forces customers to pay for a 4x4GB kit from the start to guarantee absolutely identical flash drives. Rather than labeling these sticks in a unique way to make identification easier for customers, Corsair dubiously groups many different sticks under the same SKU, knowing there could be compatibility issues. are priced at just $10 less than 2012. Overloading memory kits is the responsibility of manufacturers, brands, and distributors alike. In particular, a small group of primary memory makers are clearly using their near-monopoly to keep RAM prices high.
