I upgraded from 8GB of RAM which was perfectly adequate to 16GB and felt I should brag about it. However I now feel that anything less than 16GB in 2019 is having to compromise. I have two spare slots so I should buy another pair of these really.What is RAM actually used for in a PC? If you check the RAM actually in use it's likely that it will show you have a lot available. However there is a difference between Available and Free. To use an analogy you might be doing house hold chores but if your friends turn up as say come with us we're going to feed bread to the ducks you'd be Available. The job you were doing can wait.With the RAM in your PC it could be helping speed up the file system but if the RAM is needed elsewhere the file system can look after itself.Free RAM is that which has absolutely nothing to do and would be used first if there was something to do. You want your computer to have free RAM to ensure that the file system and other things that benefit can have some RAM to themselves. When a process requires RAM it can take it from the Free RAM.You only get this situation if you have far more RAM than you absolutely need. If you want your computer to be fast you want your RAM to be helping the file system run fast. If a new process has to ask some RAM to save it's contents to your hard drive then you're going to notice that because you'll be waiting for it. Any time your computer is making you wait then it's not good enough.

Purchased 2x8GB 3000MHZ sticks ( Corsair CMK16GX4M2C3000C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB) which cost me a whopping £199 and some change. Memory was bought alongside a new Ryzen 1700 and ROG STRIX x370 -F MOBO, to build a new system with. Imagine my horror when, on initial boot up, my brand new motherboard reported this memory as 2133MHZ! Arrrgh. Anyway, knowing from many years of experience NOT TO PANIC, I duly panicked. But here's the upshot of my story just in case others may have similar issues. Step one was to upgrade my MOBO BIOS, as you do. This gave me many more options for memory settings including the 3000MHZ option. Great, I thought. Now just set it to correct rating and away you go, right?Well,no actually. It appeared regardless of memory settings used the system was unstable and would blue screen on Windows, or lock up on Linux. Of course, this was all intermittent and random, but I was pretty sure it was a memory issue, in spite of memory now being correctly set. Long story, short. Only when I over-clocked my memory to 3200MHZ did the system become rock solid! Yeah, crazy I know, but there you go. So, I know it wouldn't be the first thing to try, but maybe if your memory isn't playing nicely and all else fails. It may be worth a try. The memory itself seems solidly made, if rather expensive. Oh, last thing to mention, I only purchased this memory recently so I will update if things change.

I have used Corsair RAM for years and they have always performed great. In terms of low profile RAM, you won't find better and in most cases you won't need to be concerned about RAM clearance if using a large CPU Cooler. I'm using the Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 cooler and had no issues.As a first time builder, I have learned so much about each of the required components, including RAM. Apologies for any misinformation and I'm talking to the first time/inexperienced builder but from my understanding, stock speeds for all DDR4 RAM is 2133 Mhz or 2400 Mhz and to achieve the advertised speeds e.g. 3200 Mhz, you need to boot into the BIOS/UEFI, locate XMP (Extreme Memory Profile)settings and manually change the clock speeds to whatever the advertised speed of your RAM is (or higher if you want to experiment with increased clock speeds), reboot and you're good to go.I think some of the negative reviews here might be from those who are unaware that these clock speeds must be changed manually or maybe I'm misinterpreting. Hopefully this will be of help to someone who, like me, was not aware of this. I've have had zero issues with the RAM and might consider further increasing the clock speeds once I become more knowledgeable on the subject. Overall, I'm a very happy customer and would gladly recommend Corsair RAM.

Low profile 3200mhz DDR4 in a sexy looking shiny black heatsink.....Whats not to like???. Ok other than the price, but the form factor is nice and tidy and I haven't had any issues with them running at full speed in my Skylake build which is over 6 months old now and has been absolutely hammered gaming for all that time at ultra settings. Based on my previous experiences with this brand I don't expect any problems either. In short I highly recommend this RAM, I doubt you'll notice any real performance gains by the RAM itself as I would expect most sticks to be installed on new builds for the Skylake platforms (core i5 6600 or i7 6700 processors, Z / H170 chipsets etc.).These are therefore likely to be used in the first gen DDR4 builds so upgrading isn't likely to be what these are being bought for yet. However they will compliment a shiny new build perfectly and the build as a whole should have better performance over previous generation platforms, Be aware that some motherboards can't support the clock speed and the XMP has to be enabled in the EUFI bios for them to work at there best. They will default down to a lower speed if not enabled or supported in this way but will still work ok albeit a little slower (2333 mhz usually).

Corsair is, perhaps, the most famous brand of RAM stick, and rightly deserved.These bad boys came up as the perfect trade-off between performance and price at the time of my research, and no doubt they'll hold up for years to come.I was so pleased with the find that I bought two! Really, two packs of two, for four total RAM sticks, which my motherboard indeed accommodates as I type this. Honestly, 32GB is very excessive for my needs, but I figured that I was aiming to make this PC build long-lasting, and therefore I should buy the RAM sticks now which I would need perhaps ten years from now (since it is advisable, for compatibility, that all RAM sticks in one system have the same make and model,and I made it the exact same product in the exact same purchase transaction - though the serial numbers are off by a couple thousand (which goes to show the incredible popularity of these RAM sticks, I suppose)).If this product fails earlier than seems -by my personal approximation- reasonable, then I will update this review.

Writing this review in August 2017 when the price of this ram is £124.99.I bought this ram for £56.99 back on 24th of March 2016.Absolute steal for £56.99, but you won't get this ram for that price in late 2017 or for a long time due to worldwide DDR4 shortages.At the time it was a great buy, but This ram has some weird issues with the Asus Z170 Pro gaming board and playing the game called Runescape, weird but me and 3 other users were stumped and found out we all had the same motherboard and ram combo that was causing the issue and changing ram was enough, so if you have a Z170 pro gaming from Asus and this ram, you might... maybe run into issues with Runescape in NXT mode.Other than that,this ram needs to be overclocked with the XMP profiles in bios to run at it's advertised 2400Mhz speed, I was confused at first when it was running at 1666Mhz

I recently purchased this memory as part of a new Ryzen system I was putting together. I checked the part number against the list of Ryzen approved memory and spotted this on there, so felt confident in pulling the trigger!First impressions were positive. The RAM looks great, it's sturdy and it's Corsair, a brand you can trust. Installation was as expected, no issues at all.My system originally detected it as 2133MHz memory, not 3200MHz. when I manually set it to 3200MHz in the BIOS the system crashes, so I have had to settle for 3000MHz instead, however I suspect this isn't a problem with the RAM itself.Paired with a Ryzen r 2600 and Asus ROG Strix B450-F motherboard.The only gripe I have is the extortionate price of the RAM,however that's more a condition of the market at the moment.

Built new vr gaming system a couple of months ago with 2 x 16gb sticks of same ram. Decided (with trepidation) to upgrade to 4x 8gb of same ram. I say with trepidation as have read several reviews whereby people had issues with XMP/DOCP not allowing correct clock speed, or not even booting. I am running AMd Ryzen 5 3600 on rog strix b450f motherboard using 1901 bios version. Reset clock speed to default, inserted new sticks, booted (took a min or so). System booted. Rebooted, went into bios and changed clock speed from 2133 to 3200mhz. Everything worked straight away, all 4 sticks OC'd to 3200 mhz. I think it may have helped as I made sure all 4 sticks had samsung chips on them. So for me and my rig,all worked well with no issues with 4 sticks of ram.

For games nowadays it is increasingly the case that 16gb is the sweet spot, looking at games like Call of Duty Warzone, you will be bottlenecked and suffer decreased performance at 8gb or less.As for the speed, this was a good upgrade over my 2400Mhz, as ryzen CPUs tend to favour faster clock speeds on RAM. At C16 timings this is the sweet spot and any lower, you're looking at serious diminishing returns and especially higher prices.The first one I ordered was faulty and found my computer bluescreened every week (Which made it all that harder to diagnose) after some searching I was able to go in the CMD, do a hardware test and found that there was indeed a problem. I asked for a return and was given replacement.Overall,some nice DIMMs.

I bought this to go with my Ryzen 3700X - I installed it, enabled the XMP profiles and away I went - did a fresh install of windows as I'd installed quite a few new components, but as soon as Windows tried to update, I kept getting blue screens.I quickly surmised that the 3200mhz overclock wasn't stable enough on my system, so tried downclocking it a little, I set the speed to 2667mhz, same timings as before and the voltage to 1.35 - restarted, and it's worked perfectly ever since. Is it exactly what I expected? No. But I think that's mostly down to the Ryzen being quite new out. A few bios updates down the line, it'll be working to its full potential.Gonna order another two sticks.

Ram looks great in my new system, Temps are low in AIDA64 Memory stress test so the Heat sink must be working well. I bought this from amazon's warehouse deals and the item itself looks brand new the packaging wasn't in the best condition however the product itself is perfect. Highly recommend this RAM at the moment due to the ridiculously high prices of DDR4 at the moment (For a single stick of 8GB DDR4 at the moment it is £44 without a heatspredder and at a low clock speed of 2133 MHS, this ram is double the capacity has a heatspredder and a higher clock rate of 2400mhs for less than double the price so your getting much more for your money.

Really easy to review this.Corsair are a top tier manufacturer of memory and offer a good warranty replacemnent scheme.Available in different colours if you want to match to your motherboard the low profile is excellent as it allows larger heatsinks like a hyper evo 212 which overhang a memory slot to fit over the top of them.The larger heatsinks on some versions is pretty much useless and cosmetic only.The 2800 speed rating is quite high considering intel recommend 2100. You don't really have to go any higher.Benchmarks confirm this.Overall a good kit.Worth mentioning this kit is for the latest Desktop PCs using Intel X99 motherboards.

I will get the main issue out of the way. Ordered these and by default run at 2133mhz. I'm fine with that as all ddr4 starts with this speed. The ram is rated for 3000mhz so i XMP overclocked it to 3000mhz which is the rated speed. Only 3 ram modules were detected at 3000mhz while one would not run at the speed. I tried the lower down speed which was 2666mhz and all sticks are detected and work fine. That is my complaint out of the way. The ram is very functional at 2666mhz and allows all my projects to zoom by at amazing speeds even helps in gaming. I just wish I could have gotten what i paid for.

I installed this RAM with a different set of RAM I have, but the timings are exactly the same so the RAM can be paired together which is helpful.The RAM at default does run slower than the other RAM but once you enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to XMP Profile 1, the both ram run at 3200Mhz and it's good stuff. I've had two different sets installed running for over a year and not a single issue, it's going strong so I cannot complain, it's just plugin when the computer is off because you never know some people, go into the BIOS and enable XMP Profile 1, reboot and away you go.Simples!

The first 8gb 4x2 was great running with no issues, running at 2400 (bottleneck mobo) for about a year so far with no issues,Then ordered another pair 4x2 16gb total at 2400 again and all was good for about 2 weeks maybe less, then suddenly blue screens, which I thought was strange and checked all other components and no problems, took out new ram sticks 1 at a time discovered the dead stick, now I'm stuck using single channel instead of dual, so slower than 8gb but having enough memory at 12gb.TLDR, Ram died, passed return date, Stuck on single channel, GG :(
