Boot-up of Windows 7 home Premium 64-bit is much faster on my machine now. The two 4GB modules were easy to remove from the box, and the plastic cases simply snapped open. No box cutter required. I was initially concerned that the new modules wouldn't fit under the power cable for my Micro-ATX motherboard because of the added height of the aluminum heat-dispersing shields. However, they will apparently fit anywhere a normal DDR3 desktop module will fit. Just as a test after booting up, I began rendering a quick 720p video, creating a home movie DVD, playing music, playing a DVD, playing two separate 720p videos, playing a random Youtube video, and browsing pictures on my hard drive all simultaneously. I was limited only when after a few minutes my Athlon II X4 2.9GHz Quad-core reached 100% load and 125 degrees F, causing the fan to run loudly. I decided to close some things at that point.

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...

Especially for the 1600MHz bandwidth.Corsair, historically, has been a reputable brand name, thanks to providing quality components. But even under the best of times, problems can ensue. Both kits arrived, with no atypical behavior suggesting a defective module is installed. Why I recommend to buy two 8GB kits, even if there was a net increase of price: These modules are sold in kits, if one module is bad then the entire kit must be returned. The replacement kit could have a defective module as well. With two 8GB kits, if one module is bad, you still have a working computer while you wait for the exchange to arrive. If one module in each kit is bad, then you're still SOL as these sets are sold as 'matched pairs' to ensure reliability. Mixing RAM modules from various sets COULD induce performance problems. so when installing the RAM, also make sure to take the first package and put each module in slots... Read more |
