Corsair 16GB XMS3 (2x 8GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz 240-Pin 16 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) CMX16GX3M2A1600C11

Fast, stable, reliable, durable, you can't beat what you get in this ram. I have pushed this with hungry software and it stands up like a champ and screams "give me more!". Easy to install like any other memory card, just slide and clip them in. You just can't beat Corsair. Well worth the value!

Corsair XMS3 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory 1.5V I ordered these to upgrade a Dell xps8300 desktop computer from 8G to 16G. The factory-installed memory was in the form of four 2GB modules (one in each of the available memory slots). This product consists of two 8GB modules, so there is still room to expand to 32GB total, although the system only recognizes 16G without some tweaking. Based on the instructions that came with the memory kit and the Dell users manual, the modules need to go into the slots marked 1 and 2 (not contiguous but easily identified by number '1' and '2' and also the fact that these two slots have white latches versus black for the other two). The last of the attached pictures shows the layout. Removing the old units was easy once they were exposed. The main detail is to move the spaghetti of power cables out of the way to get a clear handle on them. Just press down on the two latches per slot and the modules slipped out without requiring any force. Likewise the new modules slipped in easily and lifting up on the latches while holding the card down worked smoothly. After turning on the power, everything booted up as usual without issue. Checking the installed memory via System information, it showed 16GB installed memory. I also ran Dell diagnostics to check everything and everything passed. I've only had them installed for a couple of weeks so I can't rate the durability (other reviewers have noted failure after months of use) but for value and apparent quality, I gave it 5 stars. Did it make a difference? Well it didn't hurt :) The performance rating from the System dialog (for what it may be worth) didn't change much between before and after the upgrade. But I think I can say it did speed up loading Shadow of the Tomb Raider game on Steam slightly, though not much difference in actual game play. The biggest factor there is probably the graphics card, and that's another jump up in $$$.

I've preferred Kingston for years when it comes to memory, but lately I've been going with Corsair. Same, if not better specs, than similarly priced Kingston products, and the same warranty. Lifetime warranties are a must whenever you can get them in the electronics world, ESPECIALLY with memory. Will memory fail you? At some point, yes. I have about 1 stick of RAM die every 3 years, with constant use. The XMS lineup has performed extremely well with simple setups as well as heavily overclocked setups of mine, which run liquid cooling. For the price, you can't go wrong--seriously. This particular stick, 1x4GB, is in an HTPC system running XP3. I've used their other sticks as well, 2x4, 4x8, etc. AWesome stuff. PROS: * Price - excellent price point, the same or better than Kingston * Performance - For the price, it's outstanding * Longevity - This stuff is as strong as a horse * Warranty - It's lifetime, hands-down that's awesome TECH TIP: You can almost always buy memory which is rated for a higher speed than what your motherboard or CPU uses. For instance, if your motherboard/CPU says it uses 1333mhz DDR3, you can use 1600mhz in almost every single situation. It'll simply clock down to the lower speeds. There's a slight advantage to doing this also, it allows you to run more aggressive timing when doing extreme overclocking. Remember, your mileage may vary, and "almost always" doesn't mean "always".

Well there's not much I can say. umm it works and it's memory that works. If you are thinking of going with triple channel memory with the i7 series then this is what you want. Also the price is unbeatable. I've overclocked my CPU and these memory modules still run with insane speeds. I'm using a Asus Sabertooth X58. No problems found here. However if you aren't seeing all 6GBs of memory in the BIOS I suggest reseating the RAM sticks. I had to reset my RAM about 3 times and I'm never removing them again lol. I've been using this RAM for about a month in a half with no problems thus far. This RAM is very good for overlocking as well and very flexible for different BIOS settings. Also I'm loving the heat shields Corsair provided, that's just a big plus. The ram is so good and so reasonably priced I'm thinking about buying another set just so I can say I have 12GBs of RAM. Well honestly I use alot of RAM eating programs. Like music programs and video editing etc. If you are a casual user or a gamer you will only need one set of these RAM triple channel kits.

I will buy another soon

Io ho acquistato queste ram per potenziare il mio pc un po' datato. Montate su una scheda madre Asus P8B75-V con processore intel i-5 e con già due banchi di memoria da 2Gb per un totale di 4Gb. Sfruttando i 4 slot della scheda (è una dual channel) ho aggiunto la ram acquistata a quella già presente (simile a questa acquistata, ma di capacità inferiore), raggiungendo un totale di 12Gb di memoria Ram. Una volta inserite sono state riconosciute automaticamente e senza problemi. Controllando sia dal bios e sia con un altro software di monitoraggio, la memoria disponibile è assolutamente quella dichiarata dal costruttore, anzi mi sono trovato qualcosina in più. Nell'utilizzo normale si vedono subito i vantaggi di avere più Ram a disposizione, il pc è più veloce e fluido. Con poca spesa e una operazione che richiede pochi minuti, si rivitalizza il pc un po' anzianotto con un ottimo prodotto.

product is good..but courier service very very bad service (ARAMEX)..

Aucun souci avec ces barrettes de Ram. Elles sont super et ne m'ont posés aucun problème! Je les ai achetés pour compléter les 2 autres, identiques, qui étaient déjà présents dans mon ordinateur, et le tout fonctionne à merveille!

Op de beschrijving zou het gaan om een starteskit 2x 4gb totale 8gb.vreemd dat later 1x4gb staat en wordt geleverd. Dus is het geen starterspakket. Jammer dat deze onzin niet in Amazon zou moeten staan De bestelling was goed en snel,.maar ik ben niet tevreden. Dhr.berg
