Review date: 16 January, 2012. Review by: IT Reviews Staff Corsair’s Vengeance RAM kit boasts 8GB of DDR3, solidly packed in twinned 4GB sticks. Inevitably, this means you will need a 64-bit operating system to get the best results, but it is a worthy...

Corsair is well known for its high quality power supply units, cases and cooling solutions. It just so happens that Corsair’s pretty darn good at memory too. We've been handed a triple-channel kit of high density 4GB modules, for a total of 12GB of so...

Maintaining compatibility is easy, since Corsair programs these to default to DDR3-1333 CAS 9. A single XMP of DDR3-1600 runs at 1.50 V, but only Corsair knows for sure why this wasn’t included within normal SPD registers. We’re guessing the 2T command rate is the culprit, though reliance on XMP means that motherboards wit...
