Purchased on: 21st of November 2018Delivered on: 22nd-24th of November 2018 (I believe it was either the 22nd or 23rd - It was FAST)Seller: Amazon EU S.a.r.LPrice: £57.07 (I wish I could return it to buy it again at the current price of <£40)EDIT: 30/05/19 -I bought ONE 8 GB stick ONLY because I knew, shortly down the line, I would add another of the same model to get Dual Channel (I only have a B250M-HDV Micro-ATX with 2 DIMM slots (where your RAM goes))IF your motherboard supports Dual Channel and has TWO or more DIMM slots, it's recommended to GET TWO 4 GB sticks rather than ONE SINGLE 8 GB stick.If your motherboard only has 2 DIMM slots like the B250M-HDV does, you could use a similar method to me,

Right, so I ordered two of these and there was an issue with them. First things first, they come from different manufacturers.I'm not an expert (geek) but I managed to have a look in specs with CPU-Z. It works fine with XMP, improves the system a lot, for cheap. The look nice, I have the black model. Both in system (2x8GB) improved my PUBG experience and made the game smooth. overall my system runs smooth now..now the problem:they have at least two manufacturers which are Samsung and Micron.first one I got was from Micron and second one from Samsung.Micron, is fire. works really good.Samsung burned out after one week or so.You can see the manufacturer in software (CPU-Z).My system was freezing

the start of 2018 was something special for me. i had acquired enough money to finally get into building my own rig. and going from a i3 540 @ 3.02GHz | 4GB of ram and a GT640. this was the biggest upgrade to date and with the arrival of 8th gen intel processors the i5 seemed like a good entry point.my build was originally meant to beintel i5 8600k8GB RAMNvidia GT780 (gifted by caring community member)Corsair 750m PSUand just 3 months in with the 8GB of ram 1 stick had failed on me. noticing that i was caping out on ram super quick upon start up as well as in games performance had crippled. i might have just got a bad batch or something but no harm overall to the PC.

Have had these for a few months now and they haven't failed me once. I've bought ram from them before and will continue to purchase from them.Firstly the ram sticks themselves look slick. Nice looking heat spreader and will help if your looking for a clean build. Multiple colour selections also. My case is windowed and it looks great in it compared to seeing green in your case.By default they run at 2133mhz but this is easily changeable by going into the bios and enabling xmp. This will allow them to run at their rated speed. Currently in my z370 mobo which houses an i7 8700 and it works great together. Personally ram speed isn't that big of a factor in my opinion but that depends on if your using ryzen etc,

I can boot only using 2133 frequency ,when I hoped to get at LEAST 2400 Mhz thats rated.Before this purchase I used practicaly same RAM Vengeance LPX with same timings and rated 2400 mhz but 2x8 GB.I had no problem using from start,and could even take it to 2800 MHz no problem.This is really a dissapointment for me at the moment,I am trying to get it up at rated speed but no matter what I do in bios at the moment doesnt help...I posted a photo of my "old" ram ,you can see it is essentially same model.If I manage to fix it soon I will change this review,if not I will try to return or exchange for something else at the seller.Edit,

Bought Corsiar standard memory 2600mhz 2 sticks 8gb each so it balanced across the DIMM sockets installed on a MSI x470 motherboard running a ryzen5 processor, MSI GTX 1070 gpu. Installed with no issues put together in under 20 minutes and booted up and windows 10 installed within the hour. Bullet proof ram you can go for faster speeds up to 3600mhz for this motherboard but ££ against speed your not going to notice any benefit unless your a speed geek more interested in measuring speed over playing games or even video editing better adding more sticks …. my opinion of Course. Ensure you check out what RAM your processor can manage before buying bigger ram only to find out that your processor cant use it (wasted money and hours trying to tweak it to get the stated speed out of it),

Really happy with this kit, also came with a ram cooler which I fitted (might as well).Installed on a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro with a 3700x.Initially just enabled the XMP profile and straight to 3200mhx it went with no issues, job done in many ways but then looking at performance it seems 3600mhz is a sweet spot for performance with as you can then run the fabric clock at 1:1 1800mhz which increases the cpu performance.So with slightly relaxed timings (16-19-19-40) and a voltage bump to 1.38v everything is stable in memtest 86 at 3600mhz.On research I have version V5.32 with Hynix dies.I do think the motherboard played a big part in this being possible as well as the memory support on the 3rd Gen Ryzens.

So I last bought 4 of these 2 years ago and got the fright of my life when my custom gaming rig started throwing up errors and wouldn’t boot. At first I thought my water cooler had leaked and neighed like a horse. A quick search later and I found it must be either the PSU or RAM. I eliminated the PSU since it’s Corsair’s top of the line and beefy one. Stuck a voltmeter in between theanyway and the plug and power socket - was drawing the right amount of current as expected. Took RAM sticks out one by one until I found two defective ones. Look at past orders - low and behold, it’s died just outside of the return period. I’ve had RAM last better in the past and I don’t really use my PC much except occasionally at weekends.

First stick didn't work, which can happen with this sort of thing, but diagnosing it was a bugger and nearly cost me the PC I'd bought to put it in.If you put the ram in and the computer starts acting funny, boots into windows and is sluggish then resets or fails to boot, then remove the ram, even if it sees the ram in the system with the full 8 gigs. Leaving it in and trying to find out if it was another component corrupted the system files which meant it then behaved oddly even with new ram in. Had to reinstall windows with other ram before it was diagnosed.That said. These things happen with ram. No fault of the seller who replaced immediately and second stick works fine. Buy with confidence.

I had bought two of these sticks of ram on separate occasions, starting my pc build with 8gb and then upgrading to two sticks to make 16gb. I made sure to buy exactly the same ram to ensure compatibility. Unfortunately the second stick caused my pc to get blue screen errors and crash constantly. It was version 5.3 I think. Anyway, I contacted Corsair support and they replied quickly, confirming that the RAM was faulty and said to exchange via Amazon which I did. The replacement worked perfectly (and also had a different version number) so although the ram works well and is good value and the customer support from Corsair and Amazon was really good,

When I decided to upgrade my computer for the first time in several years I have to admit that I was somewhat dispapointed by the hike in prices with regards to all manner of parts. High-end GPUs have retained their value as they prove valuable to cryptocurrency miners as well as games enthusiasts; CPUs and Motherboard combinations change with the wind, and now: even RAM requires a brand new form of socket.Fortunately Corsair does not disappoint in the performance deparment and has even persuaded me to upgrade my secondary hard drive to an SSD to remove bottlenecking: it's that good. Another negative is the minimalistic packaging with not additional materials: considering the exceptional

At my time of purchase this ram was the cheapest on the market (which isnt saying much) and i bought a single 8gb stick which was then upgraded to 2x8gb the next week. This ram reliably hits 2666mhz when paired with my ryzen 3 and have never tried to go above that. the heatspreaders look good and the product is genuinely well put together. I have also bought some ram from ballistix for a side which is currently cheaper where I am but next time I would spend the extra money and go for this as it has miles better looks and is the same speed. Overall if you dont need the fastest ram on the market then this is your best bet as it is reliable and fairly quick for a very reasonable price

I've previously used Corsair for my Ivy Bridge DDR3 setup and was very pleased with those. The performance works well and I had no issue getting XMP profies to work. The Red color is also very strong, like lipstick you'd get from that famous scene in 'Mad Men' which is nice.You would buy these if you were going to install an after-market air cooler for your CPU, because clearance issues on fans are a real thing.The only complaint I can foresee is that my old set of Vengeance memory started to die after 3 years. I get that that's what their warranty was for but I'd almost prefer them to die outright and force an upgrade than give me a blue screen every other day.

I've purchased the Corsair 32GB 2x8GB 4000MHZ kit for use in a newly built video editing PC. I wanted performance I could rely on and that's why I chose Corsair Vengeance! The motherboard I'm using is ASUS Rog Strix Z390-F Gaming, and Intel's i9 9900KS. I have managed to use the XMP 2 Profile to run this awesome memory at 3800MHZ in dual channel mode. Using Prime95 to test, I have established this setting is stable without any voltage changes, out of the box stock. If you're looking for great timings, this kit has what you're looking for. Also I love the look of these on the board, stealthy yet aggressive in their appearance! Would purchase again! - Jake

Purchased 2 x 16 GB 3000MHz sticks to be installed in a Asus Maximus Code iXTook 2 mins to Install, changed the XMP in the bios, booted up the system and now up and running with no issues or conflicts. 3000MHz joy :)I went with the 4M2B version --> 4M2B3000C15 mainly because personally i tend to go for hardware that is listed on the manufacturers QVL. I also plan on using these LPX ram on my next build in a maximum hero IX or X, so for me its all about ensuring i can use these on other motherboards without worrying about if the hardware hasn't been tested to work with a particular motherboard.I would defiantly recommend the Corsair LPX Ram.
