A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I have no idea how people tried to drive her there, that she didn’t even take 1866, but she takes 2100+ without any complaints from all straight-handed ones, and some specimens can even 2400. Specifically, mine took 2220 (238 tire, 9.33 multiplier) with bomb timings 10-12-12-30 Π’2. The voltage is 1.57 at the same time (1.55 is also possible, but about once a month a blue screen will fly by, so I took a small margin). The memory chips are Samsung, in fact, thanks to Samsung for overclocking, I…

Pros
  • The only drawback of this RAM at the moment is the amount of memory. Everything else is top notch. Mine runs 2220 at 10-12-12-30 T2 timings.
Cons
  • As already mentioned, the only drawback is the amount of memory.

I have been using this RAM for more than half a year, but I still feel pride from the knowledge that I have acquired a good, high-quality product. I play modern games - no "glitches" or "brakes" were observed. Overall score 5 (on a five-point scale). Different pros: I join the above. The RAM is beyond praise: at first I set one bar, after a couple of months, the second: the two-channel mode automatically turned on. Windows Experience Index-7.9. I set the XMP profile in the BIOS - it clearly…

High quality gaming PC! on internals

I've finally finished building my new PC and given it some time to try it out. Much of my decision came from feedback here (Revain) and the tomshardware.com forums.-NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case, Black 921RB-001-BL-Intel Core i5-3570K-Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit -EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked with ACX cooler (02G-P4-2765-KR) - Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) - Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 (GA-Z77X-UD3H) - OCZ Technology Fatal1ty 750W (OCZ -FTY750W) - Intel…

Best RAM in its price range, overall excellent quality

As a PC technician with 20 years of experience, this is MY FAVORITE RAM that runs on every system and on every motherboard. However, with the Vengeance series, I spent months trying to figure out the difference between the different colors and names of the Vengeance series. Recently, I chose Blue Vengeance (the price is a little lower than other colors) for high-performance systems. and noticed no slowdown. For beginners I have to give some reasons WHY you should always buy this RAM.; (1) Dual…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Blank

UNSTABLE AS UPDATE - WILL NOT WORK WITH THE SAME BRAND AND PARKING NUMBER

Unstable even when paired with the exact same manufacturer RAM. It looks like RAM manufacturers are cheating if they don't advertise that whether their product works as advertised is entirely random. If advertised as 1600, it should be 1600, not 1334. There are laws of truth in advertising. Excuses that the product must have the same part number AND the "version number" after purchase based on misleading labels and advertising are scams, regardless of what the industry or technology claims.

Pros
  • Rugged Surface
Cons
  • Sad Hardware

Quality issues Corsair

I don't want to talk about this, but Corsair is going downhill. I've been buying their RAM for years and haven't had any performance or reliability issues until the last 3 years or so. During that time I returned 6 savesets. Some of them lasted less than 6 months before returning. Corsair is usually pretty easy to deal with when it comes to returns, but the fact remains I have no ram sticks and no returns. I've seen this happen when over-volting or even overclocking, but I've always run them at

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Factor set

Good RAM, might fail in 3 years

Got 2 of these total 4 sticks (16GB) for my gaming/streaming/media desktop with dual monitor setup. They work, except lately I've been getting occasional BSODs on Windows 10 with a "Memory Management" error code. Some research shows that it could be a RAM issue. They've held me up for over 3 years now so I guess it's not that big of a deal at the moment, especially considering the price I bought them for ($100 for all 4 sticks). I just made some recommended fixes, so let's see what happens…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Almost never

Enable XMP in BIOS for Memory

This memory is EXCELLENT when properly configured. I can't believe I used this memory for 3 years before realizing I had to enable XMP in the BIOS settings to get performance data. I avoid overclocking and tuning because I'm after stability, and it never occurred to me (until now) that this RAM with an "extreme" memory profile is rock solid. Here are some screenshots of the Passmark test results before and after enabling XMP. Making this change in the BIOS takes about 30 seconds. I can see the…

Pros
  • Very Good
Cons
  • Security

Check ALL your gaps!

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

Pros
  • Complete Set
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says
