Review on 💙 Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit 1.5V by Patrick Stephani

Purchased this item on April 1st. Prophetic as it happened. There is nothing wrong with this product. They look beautiful and I really wanted to keep them. But I made a silly mistake while working on my latest build. I didn't have enough space to install a hard drive! I've known for years that CPU and cooler fans have gap issues due to tall ram fins with heat spreaders, but I didn't think other elements could conflict as well. Explain it with chalk. to the learning curve. In fact, I wish memory manufacturers would just stop this heatspreader trick. It's true that memory generates heat, and I assume that heavily overclocked memory needs additional cooling, but I realize this is mostly a fad. Are you old enough to remember tail fins on cars? I didn't want to take advantage of Revain's return policy by stating that the item was 'defective' in some way. But no, it was my fault. I printed the Revain return label and I have to pay $8 for the return shipping. Well that's what I need. The Corsair sticks look great with an anodized metallic blue finish. They also come in a clear plastic tray, which is handy. I only needed a quarter inch of extra clearance. Makes me mad. I know many of you are construction workers and I wanted to caution you against checking mounting clearances. I haven't checked, but it seems to me that memory manufacturers probably have measurement specs on their websites. I have to study it. I have reordered Crucial RAM sticks. They're a little flimsy compared to Corsair's joysticks, but they're only about 60% tall. It should be important. I hope my mistake helped others. PS I can't tell you the dimensions, I packed them up for return and didn't think about it in time. I am sorry.
