"Steponz, amongst the select elite overclockers to recieve this package with this memory for
extreme overclocking"
the set could deliver at this
voltage. Those numbers by
the way easily besting all
previous efforts from all
other memory we’ve had thus
far.
That is a testament to the
IC (Samsung B-die) selection
process, S.P.D programming
and of course PCB selection
by CORSAIR. As often is the
case, comparable memory
tends to cost more from
CORSAIR than their competing
vendors, but with that, you do
receive a lifetime warranty, a
simplified R.M.A
process and of course the
CORSAIR branding behind
it. The branding that has a
certain ring to it that perhaps
others at present do not
command.
As it stands, there’s nothing
but excitement to take away
from this set. It obviously
performs well enough or as
expected when operated at
the regular frequency and
timings, but does even better
when you pour the time
and energy into extracting
the best from the superior
modules or even all four.
One should state that it is
increasingly difficult to find a
disappointing set of memory
across most vendors, but in
particular from CORSAIR.
It could very well that one
is constantly examining the
best of the current ICs at any
given point or simply that
there genuinely isn’t a set of
disappointing kit in the mid
to high end space. Whatever
the reason, this is by far the
most compelling kit of
memory from CORSAIR.
Underselling itself as it over
delivers. With the selling
price as it is (which is likely
to be lower as and when you
read this) there’s no way one
could deny the value aspect.
It truly is an astonishing
combination of capacity,
performance and of course
tuning headroom.
Summary
It’s 32GiB of memory
at 3,600MHz. There’s
nothing not to dislike
just by that fact alone.
Then you factor
in the ridiculous $300
price tag and what we
have here is a set that is
near impossible to beat
for performance,
capacity and price. The
previous 3200MHz kit we
reviewed was
impressive, but this one
simply negates the need
to even consider the
previous ffering. This is a
steal at this price and one
would do well to look for
this memory above all
other kits on the market..
Would you buy it?
Definitely, buy this now!
