Customer Review: My Favorite RAM So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
The feel of these sticks are nice and heavy and come in a three pack. Even though my X58SO motherboard has to be adjusted to recognize 1600 ram they are still very fast. Keep in mind unless you use 64 bit Vista it doesn't matter how many you use since 32 bit will only recognize about 3 and a half. These are probably the best ram sticks I have ever owned and with the way they are made heat dissipation is very nice. Get yourself a good board and get to overclocking to get the most out of these sticks. Though the price is steep considering three sticks of DDR3 can be found for under a hundred dollars they just aren't as overclock friendly as these are. I would recommend these to people who are trying to get everything out of their system they have invested in. Why would you get all awesome parts in your rig only to drop cheap ram into it (by that I mean the green sticks of ram that come factory with most computers). I would say casual computer people shouldn't invest and these are probably only for those who want to push quality and performance. Most people don't think about the quality of RAM that they have so its not a necessity for them to have the best. Overall nice addition to my self made rig and so far everything is super fast and I am very happy with this RAM.Customer Review: There was no doubt
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the reviews and checked with ASUS. In the end, there was no doubt and so I am extremely happy with this.
First off, for those that don't know, check the latency. The lower the better. An 8-8-8 is better than a 9-9-9. With that in mind, Corsair also offers a 7-7-7 that is cheaper, so why did I go with this one? Because I have an ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard and when I went to the ASUS web site and checked, this TR3X6G1600C8D was on their approval list but the TR3X6G1600C7D was not. There are some other 7-7-7 on the list from other brands but the reviews were not as good when it comes to product quality. Why risk poor quality for a very small increase in performance? I decided to go with this kit so I know I am getting good performance and quality.
The one word of caution is that ASUS did not recommend using six of these in their motherboard (although they do say you can use four). I was not planning to put six (or even four) modules, anyway because I do not know of any program I run that can take advantage of the extra memory.

Any questions? Feel free to ask in the comments section!

Customer Review: Flawless
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you new to building Core i7 based PCs, be aware that in order to run this RAM at 1600, you will have to set the memory profile to XMP in the BIOS, or on some motherboards, fill in the timings manually. These are printed on each of the 3 sticks so they shouldn't be hard to find. Not doing so will cause the RAM to run below 1600, or on some boards, not be stable.
Now that I've owned these for nearly a year I feel I can comment on them. And the comment is: Flawless. I'm even going to buy a second set to upgrade to 12GB.
I am using these with a Intel Core i7 920 on an Asus P6T6 WS Revolution motherboard.
Customer Review: Compatibility problem with Asus ROG Rampageiii mobo,beware
Summary: 5 Stars
I put 3 sticks in my new built, works great.
I also have great expereiences with these solid memory in the past on other builds.
Corsair brand memory never brought any problem,
I has some bad expereience with failing A-Data memory, although replaced under warranty, but troubleshooting process is like chasing ghost.
Problem: After installed 1st 6gb on Asus ROG Rapageiii,I purchase another 6g, installed all 6 sticks and expect to see 12GB,
but only sees 8GB, called Asus, they said this is normal, this high end motherboard do not see all 12GB for this Corsair model,
there is compatibility problem, I'll say mostly from the motherboard.
So I have to unplug 6gb, to use on other build.
If anyone could tell me how to resolve this issue, it would be great.
