Fantastic RAM at a great price!

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 RAM. I have some background apps running (Google Drive Downloads, Steam, Origin, UPlay, AMD Catalyst and a few others) and they don't use more than 1.3GB of that RAM. I love Corsair (especially their power supplies) and this RAM is a great example of how good their products are. Get that RAM. As always, I'll update this if I have any issues or additional thoughts.

Pros
