Review on 💾 Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz Desktop Memory - CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9, PC3 12800, 1.5V by Stoner Fulton

I bought this RAM to replace my old Gskill 4x4gb 16gb DDR3 1866mhz kit I had. Two flash drives started to fail and I couldn't send them under warranty because I lost the receipt. This RAM worked right away with my AsRock Z77 Professional-M motherboard. By default it was set to DDR3 1333MHz 1.5V. I had to manually tune it to its default DDR3 frequency of 1600MHz. It wasn't a problem. I've never had RAM trimmed to its rated speed since my old 2004 DDR 400 kit, lol. RAM heatsinks do a really great job of keeping RAM cool, but they're huge! So if you use a massive cooler like the Noctua D14, you may run into gap issues. The only downside of this RAM is the XMP profile. I don't know if my motherboard is reading it wrong or what, but its XMP profile sets the RAM to DDR3 1556. Even CPU-Z reads its XMP profile as DDR3 1556. It's not that big of a deal as I could manually Set the right speeds, voltages and timings easily, but it's weird. So be careful when you buy this kit, you may need to make the correct adjustments yourself. All in all this is a great set. No bugs, fast and the quality of the RAM seems fantastic. I highly recommend it.
