Review: Corsair Vengeance Blu 8 GB PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 240-Pin SDRAM Dual Channel Memory Kit - Purchased this kit to compliment a new build using a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 m/b, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition CPU. Common to this and many other m/b's bios, the ram is initially recognized in bios as 1333MHz rather than this rams rated 1600MHz. Going into BIOS, 2 clicks of the mouse rectified that. For those only wanting or just starting out with 8GB of ram this kit is ideal. Two 4gb sticks using only 2 memory slots is more efficient than spreading the 8gb's over the four slots. My most immediate concern was compatibility with my M/B for it was not one listed as being tested for compatibility. I'm happy to report it is fully compatible with no issues. It thouroughly passed memtest, and my system has been running fast and stable since the day my build was born, about 2weeks now. O/S boot up is fast, opening applications is fast and multitasking is not a problem, but then I am running a 6 core CPU as well. I rather like the blue colored heatsinks, matches my board quite nicely but that's only cosmetically important, what counts is my PC's processing speed and stabilty and that earns this ram 5 stars, I couldn't be more pleased. I don't ever see the need to add another kit to make it 16gb but if that day should arise I would not hesitate to make this purchase once again. I highly recommend it. Fast, stable, fair price,the best warranty, no need to say more. Other than go ahead, buy it. Update: 8/17/2011 I've added another one of these kits to my system to max out my board at 16gb. As expected, the additional ram did not notably increase my system performance. My reasoning behind adding the extra ram was because I could and I got a gold box deal on it. That being said, my initial review still stands in every aspect. Corsair ram rocks.
Review: Quality Gaming PC! - Finally finished piecing together my new PC and gave it some time to test it out. Most of my decision making was the result of reviews from here (desertcart) and forums on tomshardware.com. -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 w/ACX Cooler (02G-P4-2765-KR) -Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4 GB) (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) -Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 (GA-Z77X-UD3H) -OCZ Technology Fatal1ty 750W (OCZ-FTY750W) -Intel RTS2011LC Liquid-Cooling Kit -Samsung 840 SSD 500GB (MZ-7TD500BW) -D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter(rev.B) Boot up is less than 10 seconds from power button to login. At resolution 1920x1200 with most settings on high (using NVidia GeForce Experience recommendations) gameplay is smooth and pretty with Assassins Creed IV, League of Legends, Rage, Path of Exile, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, & Heroes of the Storm. All the fans are not loud at all and go unnoticed with the box under my desk. The lights look awesome from the fans, psu, & Intel CPU cooler. The case has 3 thermometers labeled for CPU, HDD, and SYS. They make for a nice LED display on the front but placing them in the case is a little tricky. I use HWMonitor to watch temps and so far nothing has gone over 55 Celcius. Gigabyte has some proprietary software w/ their motherboard. I have attempted the auto overclocking program labeled EasyTune but have not had much luck with it. Ended up keeping CPU at it's original 3.4 GHz since there isn't really a need to push it more than that currently. In the future I may try manually overclocking in the BIOS. The BIOS is extremely easy to navigate and has a plethora of configuration options and adjustable parameters. Overall, system works flawlessly and is everything I wanted with the potential for easy upgrading in the future. Hope this helps if anyone is shopping around and doing some research.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this memory compatible with a motherboard ASUS P8B75-M/CSM?**
A: If you google ASUS P8B75-M/CSM and go to the Asus website for this board (http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P8B75MCSM/) and select "support" you'll find a category called "memory/device support" and look at all 3 QVL files you will see that the Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B is not listed.  This does not necessarily mean that the Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B memory will not work but you would be better off selecting memory from one of these 3 lists because they have been tested with the motherboard you are asking about. I hope this helps.

**Q: Will this work with ga-770t-usb3**
A: It will work, but unless you specifically set the RAM speeds to 1600, it will automatically lower the speeds to that of DDR3 1333.

**Q: Can I remove the heatsink that comes with the RAM?**
A: Yes, you can, but it will void your warranty for sure. Here is a URL;https://www.google.com/#q=remove+heatsink+on+corsair+vengeance

**Q: Will this ram work with this motherboard, Motherboard AAHD2-HY (Holly)**
A: Hi Patrick. Yes, this memory will work on your AAHD2-JY motherboard, but only if you are running a 64-bit operating system (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 64-bit).  You can check specs on your motherboard at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02966470 -- particularly scroll and click the section, "Memory Upgrade Information".  Looking at the image of your mobo layout, you will see there are 2 memory slots (DIMMs), and the pair of 2 x 4 GB = 8 GB Corsair Vengeance DIMMs will work -- they are in the category listed as "PC3 12800 (1600 MHz)".  If you are not sure whether your Windows system is 32-bit or 64-bit, you can go Start > Computer and select "System Properties" menu at top.  You can also get the same screen/info by Start > Control Panel > System.  In the middle of the screen, look for "System Type".  As it says in the "Memory Upgrade Information" section of the website about your mobo, this memory will not work on 32-bit systems.  If 32-bit, then the maximum is 2 x 2 GB = 4 GB.  Hope this helps.  :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice memory!
*by L***R on December 15, 2011*

I received the memory on time and found the memory easy to install. One of my empty slots was next to the CPU but that did not cause any problems with putting the memory in. I was impressed with how easy adding more memory to my system was. It usually is easy, but I am usually overly cautious. That being said, I added this memory to a system that had 6gb already. 4gb in one slot and 2gb in another. For me, even though I edit HD videos, and run tons of prgams at the same time, 6gb was plenty. I decided to add an additional 8gb due to how inexpensive it was and to allow me to run even more programs without having to hit the hard drive a lot. I do not notice that much of a speed difference, even though now I have 14gb. What I have noticed is smoother operation. I have several apps open righ tnow and task manager shows approx 10gb memory available. With the 14gb total memory I now will be able to run virtual environments easily. It will be like having 3 computers in one box, running at the same time! Sweet! Thank you Corsair! The 8gb at the price I paid for is truly a bargain. The packaging was professional all the way and easy to open.
