Review on Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 Desktop Memory - 1600 MHz, PC3 12800, 2x8GB by Devin Jirsa

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It fried my motherboard but it's ok

I have this PC from 2012 and it only has 8GB RAM and I only use Chrome. I'm at 78% usage so I said let me get 16GB to have 24GB. I installed it then boot loop and I smelled burning plastic so my old computer is gone and I don't mind as the PCI-E slot on top died and the motherboard was discontinued. Maybe it's my fault I put it with the rug and wear socks. I'm returning it and my PC is Build 2012 RIP and almost can't use Chrome. I'm getting a new PC soon that doesn't have RTX capabilities, but the GTX 1080 ti is good enough. I can finally play 1080p games on high and ultra settings instead of 1080p on medium settings and crash to desktop.

Pros
  • Limited lifespan
Cons
  • Not bad but...
