This is very good ram and if you purchase the Corsair cooling fans that fit over the top of it you are able to overclock the ram even more. I have had many brands and speeds of ram and have been a fan of OCZ for a few years now. I had OCZ platinum ram in my Quad core but was not able to overclock it past 4ghz from 2.4ghz stock speed. I had a feelign it was the ram letting my down and the cpu had more left to go, so i took the chance and purchased the corsair RAM. I was right this then allowed me to brak past the 4ghz barrier. I would give it a 10/10

  Great Product Beware of 4X1GB Sticks
Review created: 05/04/08

Problems when added to my existing system in order to achieve 4GB memory capacity. 4 sticks of 1GB cause system to behave weird.
Asus Striker Extreme 1504 Beta Bios.
Managed to have it stable at 1066Mhz DDR2 but after powering down and on again the system would not always boot.
Oh well story of my life...

  Good but can burn out !

Excellent memory, and of course they are fully SLI ready.

After some stability problems I decided to follow the technical advices posted on the Corsair forums and reduce the clock speed down to 800mhz and reduce the voltages to 2.1v to improve lifespan. The RAM lasted me 9 months before terminal failure and replacement by my local PC outlet under warranty, makes me wonder how long they would have lasted at full clock speed and 2.2volts !

Speeds and stability with the replacement set has been reliable with no problems, I returned to the fully standard settings.

My system is on typicaly for 16 hours a day every day, for work and play.

Test Rig:

Thermaltake Armor Watercooled
Thermaltake Toughpower 1000w PSU
Intel Core 2 Duo Quad Core QX6700
EVGA 680i Motherboard ( A1 )
BFG 8800GTX OC
Soundblaster Fatal!ty

All standard clocks aside from the CPU up from 2.6ghz to 2.93ghz

Not into heavy overclocking as stability is my primary goal, so dont know how far this Ram can go.

  Corsair Memory Dominator 2 GB PC2-8600 DDR2 RAM (TWIN2X

Part Number: TWIN2X2048-8500C5DF

Rated Frequency: DDR2 PC2-8500 (1066MHz)

Corsair needs no introduction to the enthusiast community. They’ve been making high-end modules since 1994 and are considered by many to be one of the best in the industry. Today I’ll be taking a close look at Corsair’s TWIN2X2048-8500C5DF kit, which is of the Dominator variety. Dominator is Corsair’s enthusiast line of memory products employing a unique cooling solution called “DHX” or “Dual Path Heat Exchange”.

  Top quality product at the lowest price ever made!
Review created: 26/01/09

I won't write a detailed review about this memory, I guess everybody knows that this is a top quality product, no need to add more by me.
I just want to notice here that it's been a happy surprise for me to grab these excellent modules at such a low price and that within 5 days from the day of purchase arrived on my front door!
What else one needs?
Thumbs up for geniesdeals, cool shop!

  Best Performance Memory Found on Ebay 5 Stars
Review created: 20/12/08

Installing the Memory was no problem, as you would expect, Windows Vista Business x64 identified the memory immediately increasing the memory in system I built to 4Gb. For your information, I am running a Quad Core 2.5 x4 10ghz system on an ASRock Motherboard, with Vista Business x64 and 1.5Tb Drive space.

This has now led to the computer running alot stabler, I was quite impressed by the difference. I also believe the Corsair Memory to be exceptional quality and well worth the price, for anyone considering investing in a memory upgrade, I cant recommend this highly enough.

Despite the lack of response to emails and ebay messages by seller, which is most likely due to being so busy this time of year and understandable and despite the 14 day wait for memory to be delivered, which is because items as shown on auction page, are dispatched 2nd class post, it was still well worth the wait and I would order from the seller again without question.

  Beware of compatibility issues wwhen adding to existing
Review created: 21/10/08
by:

When buying additional ram it is not always described fully regarding the product number.The main product numbers are shown and assuming you have those already and wish to add to them there is another number that needs to be checked as well, the VERSION NUMBER, it is on the memory stick but not specifically memntioned. Corsair test the modules as pairs together and do not guarantee that added pairs will work with existing pairs especially if the version number differs.The suggestion from them is to buy new matched 2 x 2GB sets and sell your 2x1 gb set on.Well they would wouldn't they?

  Very good reliable FAST memory
Review created: 12/08/08
by:

This memory has a wide compatibility over most DDR2 boards. Indeed, I haven't found one it doesn't work on. It overclocks quite effortlessly to over 1000Mhz and is very stable. For it's price, you can't beat it. Excellent performance. VERY recommended.
