Purchased this kit to compliment a new build using a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 m/b, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition CPU. 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 but that's only cosmetically important, what counts is my PC's processing speed and stabilty and that earns this ram 5 stars, I couldn't be more pleased. I don't ever see the need to add another kit to make it 16gb but if that day should arise I would not hesitate to make this purchase once again. I highly recommend it. Fast, stable, fair price,the best warranty, no need to say more. Other than go ahead, buy it.

Update: 8/17/2011 I've added another one of these kits to my system to max out my board at 16gb. As expected, the additional ram did not notably increase my system performance. My reasoning behind adding the extra ram was because I could and I got a gold box deal on it. That being said, my initial review still stands in every aspect. Corsair ram rocks.

no problems. To be honest, I bought these because the internet told me to. I do everything the internet tells me to.

I just got this kit today to replace a 2GB single-channel module, and I am very pleased. 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. Memory usage in Task Manager never got above 50% though, so I can't imagine ever needing more than 8GB of RAM for daily home use. Most programs have a barely noticeable load time now. Smaller programs that used to require a few seconds of load time now run instantly, and all programs run smoother and faster than before. If you have the money, your system supports 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and you want to improve your computer's performance, you can't go wrong buying this RAM kit.

I bought the 8gb of the corsair vengeance blue for a gaming desktop that I built a few days ago(see specs below). The ram works great and can handle literally anything I can throw at it. Plus on the upside, they look amazing and are well built. The nice thing is that the come in 3 colors, black, blue, and red so you can mach it to what ever motherboard you bought.

Rig:
-NZXT Guardian 921 Case (4 fans)
-asus p8z68v-pro/gen3 motherboard
-intel i7 2600k CPU
-corsair vengance 8GB ram 1600mhz
-Seagate barracuda 2TB 7200 rpm hdd
-Cooler master CPU cooler

This memory ROCKS, when configured properly.

I can't believe I was using this memory for 3 years before I realized I need to enable XMP in the BIOS settings to get the spec'd performance. I avoid overclocking and tweaking because I'm going for stability, and it didn't occur to me (until now) that this RAM is completely stable with the "extreme" memory profile. Here are some screenshots of the Passmark benchmark scores before and after enabling XMP. It takes about 30 seconds to make this change in the BIOS. I can immediately tell the difference, the system is more "snappy" responsive now.

This feels like if someone told me that I left the parking brake ON in my car for several years!

Passmark scores before and after enabling XMP:

Overall rating: 4,059 ... 4,700
CPU mark: 8,339 ... 9,504
2D graphics mark: 710 ... 792
3D graphics mark: 6,591 ... 6,741
Memory mark: 1,894 ... 2,554
Disk mark: 4,753 ... 5,006

CPU Type: Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz
Motherboard: SABERTOOTH Z77
Memory: 16GB , Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
Video Card: GeForce GTX 770
Hard Drive: Samsung SSD 850 PRO 1TB (1 TB)
