Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 1.5v

I don't know why I waited so long to get this. I have a PC that came with 8GB of RAM (2x4GB), which was quite a bit when I bought it. This was a custom-built PC that was new in 2012. I've recently added a new SSD (the original died shortly after it was installed), a new graphics card, and doubled the ram. For a low-profile computer that fits in my entertainment system cabinet, this thing is a beast. I would have to spend more than 2k on a new computer to get anywhere close to the performance this updated computer now has. This is my media center /gaming PC. So glad I got this RAM. It is nearly the same as what was already in it just with more RAM. I do a lot of gaming and this RAM does not disappoint, even on high/ultra settings with most AAA games. Good stuff! Haven't had to overclock at all.

Added another kit of 16Gb to my AM3+ board (ga990fxa ud3) FOR 32GB Total. With one trip through the BIOS to set to 1600mhz and boot,No problems. I also use a 10gb RamDisk leaving 22gb for the system.It was not necessary to remove my Phanteks cooler to insert this LP ram. Only the fan on the right side. Plenty of clearance under the large tower cooler,If you are worried about ram clearance , get this kit (or 2) .You will notice many QVL's do not list very many types of ram kits. They say: Due to the large number of Ram types on the market we have only tested the ones listed.That doesn't mean it won't work just fine. Get a good brand (Corsair) in the type and speed that matches the capabilities of your board and processor and you should be good to go. Having said that, MOST require that you go into the BIOS and set to SPD or 9-9-9-24 2T at 1.5 volts or Auto Volts, leave the rest of the settings alone and you are good to go. Don't forget to F10 Save and exit.Unless a stick is not seated well, then shutdown unplug and reseat.Highly recommended kit.

Using this with a 2013 Z77 Asrock Extreme 4, i5-3570k overclocked to 4.05 Ghz (all cores), with XMP-1600 timings. I use this PC for gaming and as my primary work PC. I have been using the same 8GB kit (2 sticks) and wanted a bit more memory, so I purchased the 16GB kit in Feb 2021. I ran Memtest x86 for 12 hours with no errors and Prime 95 for 3 hours. After a week I added back the 8GB kit for a total of 24GB, with the same timings and an overnight Memtest x86 run. 3 months later I have not had a single crash.

I'd been running with 8GB of RAM on my Core i5-4690k based PC for years, and I decided to upgrade the RAM. Added these two sticks in, which in combination w/ my existing RAM, totaled to 24GB. Both pairs are installed in the correct slots to take advantage of Dual Channel, and everything works well. I have no numbers (other than total RAM count) to back this up, but it works without a hitch.I typically use my computer for gaming, web browsing, and general productivity work.

Works as expected, using two of these for a total of 32 GB on Z68.Great product, but Corsair customer support is so-so. My initial set of RAM failed so I contacted customer service for a warranty replacement. They were stalling for weeks, claiming to not have stock, and pushed for a $40 refund, which is not right. Eventually, after going through several reps, they finally agreed to send a replacement kit. I ended up selling that and bought these on Amazon.

I've installed this in a Dell OptiPlex 9020 small form factor (SFF) PC.* I chose Corsair for their brand, and picked the Vengeance series for the heat spreaders.* I've picked this particular model for the low-profile heat spreaders, which are barely taller than a standard stick of RAM (i.e. without heat spreaders) to ensure that it didn't bump up against the CPU cooler or drive cage in my SFF case.* I also it specifically for a CAS Latency of 9, as opposed to 10 in other models (not that it makes a great difference in the real world!).The standard JEDEC speeds go up to 1333 MHz, and the 1600 MHz speed relies on an XMP profile which can be enabled in BIOS.This memory works as expected, and I'm totally satisfied with the same.

Upgrading/replacing 8GB pair of Ballistix Sport on a 2016 build Z87 Shuttle XPC/i7-4xxx Haswell configuration, PC mostly utilized as mainstream Desktop, not a Gamer. Installed these paired 16GB CL9 Vengeance modules in dual channel mode. POST OK, worked great, and passed Win10 memory diagnostics test. Reset memory in BIOS from Auto to XMP/1600MHz and ran <User Benchmark>. Results 60.7% or good (63% is great). No issues with the heat spreader height or width in this small form factor PC.

I bought this to max out the RAM in my Z97-based system. I've been running with a different brand of 16GB sticks since built it, but I now reach a point where I actually needed more. Since the old RAM I had is no longer manufactured, these sticks matched the specs of the old RAM.They run fantastically, and there hasn't been any compatibility problems mixing the two sets of RAM. I'm now running at my motherboard's max of 32GB, which should be plenty for my needs for another 5 years.
