Customer Review: Corsair or OCZ
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a set of these to stand in for a set of Corsair XMS3 modules that were going through the RMA process. All three OCZ modules posted immediately based upon the BIOS settings I had set for the Corsair modules (1544MHz, 8-8-8-24 timings, 1.64V, with a i920 clocked at 4.05MHz).
Many reviewers and users recommend Corsair over OCZ due to better dependability/brand; one of my Corsair modules died after about 5 weeks and I needed a replacement set within a week (the RMA process took between 2-3 weeks) so I gave this kit from OCZ a try. Amazon had these at my door in less than a week.
This particular set from OCZ, along with the XMS3 from Corsair, is among the most commonly used kits for 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 timing RAM.
I've had zero problems with the OCZ modules over the past month.
As it's been mentioned, you will need to set the proper settings in your motherboard's BIOS to get them to run at the rated speed; by default, they run at 1066MHz.
What I can't comment on is the higher rate of shipped dead modules from OCZ, or failed modules that initially posted. That's caveat number one with OCZ, based upon what others have said; allegedly higher than Corsair.
Personally, I've had bad luck with my one experience with Corsair, no problems with OCZ; this is probably not the norm, but this simply demonstrates that ALL components from any manufacturer have the potential for slipping by factory tests before being shipped to consumers.
I also can't comment on OCZ customer support, seeing as how I haven't had to go through the RMA process with their kit, nor have I needed tech support to get these running at the settings I specified. That's caveat number two. Some allege that OCZ customer support could be better.
Tech support from Corsair was good. The RMA process was painless (gave them the settings and conditions that preceded the failure and they immediately sent an RMA number) albeit a bit slow for those who can't be without their PC/workstation for more than a week.
On the plus side, the Corsair and OCZ modules have been working together seamlessly since the replacements arrived from Corsair using the same BIOS memory settings, despite not being a matched 2x6GB kit.
