Review: Great ram, Works on Both ASUS and Gigabyte 990FXA boards - Excellent RAM. As per almost everyone else. You will most likely need to go into BIOS and set for 1600mhz. I have used this Ram in a Gigabyte GA990FXA UD3 and also in an ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z. Both with AMD FX-8350's. I have overclocked the Gigabyte board to 4.7 by changing the multiplyer and voltage. While running the ram at 1610mhz, no problems. On the ASUS Formula Z I tried the ASUS Auto Overclock feature which changes the HT clock ,which also affects Ram speed. I let it go to 4.6ghz and the ram was running at 1685mhz at 1.5volts, Again , no problems. On both boards I used a Phanteks PH TC14pe (5 Heat Pipe) Air cooler. The clearance is about 1/2 inch above the Ram heat spreaders on both boards. With a little finesse there is no need to remove the cpu cooler to install or remove this Low Profile Ram. As a note, I also use 7Gb of the Corsair 16gb kit for RamDisk (on both boards) using it for temp Internet Files (set to 1024mb, Auto Update and do not delete), also allowing me to use the remaining 6GB of RamDisk for often used games or Photo editing files. Doing this gives you a data transfer rate of about 6,000MBps, far faster than my SSD's of 500MBps. Doing this greatly speeds loading of Internet pages you use often, as well as any program or files loaded on the RamDisk. The current "sweet spot" for ram amount is 8 to 16gb. at 1600mhz or 1866mhz. However, the AMD website says only 2 slots at 1866mhz. Although many find they can run 32gb in 4 slots at 1866 or above. This will depend upon the individual Integrated Memory controller on the CPU and the Motherboard. At the speed difference between 1600 and 1866, that represents only a few tenths of milliseconds difference in overall through-put. No noticeable difference to the observer. The reason you may want to exceed the 8gb or 16gb "Sweet Spot", would be to run large Photo Editing, video rendering or large RamDisk. Overall I highly recommend Corsair and this 16GB (C10) Ram Kit. Having said that, IF you can comply with the QVL (Qualified Vendors List), for your Mother Board maker I recommend it. But you will see a disclaimer on the Gigabyte QVL that says "Memory modules listed below are for reference only. Due to massive memory models on the market, we can only verify some of them." Also Note: This RAM is NOT listed on either QVL for the Formula Z or the UD3, but it WORKS. (The C9 IS listed.) But from my usage, it works great on the ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z and the Gigabyte GA990FXA UD3. Update: I just received another 16gb kit and the upgrade to 32gb was smooth on the Asus Formula Z.
Review: Love Corsair products and they're one of the few I trust. - No complaints when installed on a new MSI Performance Gaming motherboard. Plug and play as RAM often is. Verified the sticks were running at the 2666 Mhz advertised using CPU-Z and the rest is history. I mostly bought this ram for its low profile as I have a massive Hyper 212 Evo heat sync that is very close to the RAM slots. The RAM installed with ease but it did require me to remove the radiator fan from the CPU cooler on that side. Overall I love Corsair products and this RAM does not disappoint. I purchased another 16GB kit for my girlfriend's computer as well and it also has performed without issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: LP just means the heat sinks are low correct ? I have the Evo 212 cpu cooler. would this get in the way ?**
A: Yes. LP means "Low Profile". You will not have any problem with a large Air Cooler. I use this Ram on 3 computers , all of which have large Tower air coolers. 2 are Phanteks PH-TC14PE's one is a Corsair A-70 Air Cooler. They all give me about 1/2" of clearance below the coolers. You will like the Evo 212, one of the best.

**Q: Does it work in an alienware x51 r2 specification :ddr3 pc3-12800 non-ecc (1600 mhz)**
A: Hi,

Seems that for using 16gb in that system you'll be limited to using our DDR3L (low voltage 1.35v) kits, I wouldn't recommend using this one unless your manual does show compatibility for 16gb of DDR3 and not DDR3L solely.

If you have any other questions please contact us: support.corsair.com

**Q: I purchased this pair about 5 years ago. One stick just failed. Can I buy just one?**
A: Hi,

I'm afraid we don't sell single modules to replace one of a kit and be able to guarantee compatibility, but please contact us with your proof of purchase for the item and we can look into a replacement for the kit: support.corsair.com

**Q: Would this run in a system that currently has: 16gb 1333 mhz ddr3 pc-10600 sdram (intel(r) core(tm) i5-2400 cpu 3.10ghz)???**
A: Yes it would work just fine, these are actually 1333 mhz but can be overclocked to 1600 mhz. buy them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great performance, no hassle
*by F***S on November 28, 2012*

I bought these to expand my computer's RAM to 24 GB. I use it for rendering, and in some big scenes I was runnig short of it. Low profile modules are perfect when you are using third party air cooling for your CPU, because most of them will be rignt on top of the first RAM Module in a standard motherboard layout. So I used my two 8GB modules on the first bank and the two 4GB modules on the second. Corsair Vengeance modules are reliable and fast enough (there are faster nowadays, but your motherboard and CPU must accept them). Never had any RAM related issues in my 3 years using them. They don't heat up. In my rig they are cooled by the case's fans, not by specific ones. There was no hassle at installation and were recognized at once by the BIOS. I'll stick with Corsair Vengeance modules for a while longer, even if faster ones come to replace them. They are my old faithful choice for RAM.
