Review on πŸ’ͺ Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Black Desktop Memory - High-Performance RAM for Improved PC Speed by Jack Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5 stars for price and functionality, but beware Dell owners!

Thanks to Dell and their primitive OEM motherboards, I can't get the advertised 1600MHz as the system automatically reduces it to 1333MHz. There is no XMP option in the BIOS, nor can I manually configure it with the Intel Extreme Tuning software. Pretty frustrating as the RAM that came with Dell ran at 1600MHz so why on earth it's slowing down I don't understand. In the end, doubling my RAM from 8GB to 16GB solved my gaming problems for several modern titles, so I'll just live with the speed issue until I can build my own rig.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Too stupid
