BEWARE! RAM speed may be Incompatible!
By Samarth Saxenaon
I've purchased this RAM from flipkart.Iam having latest HP Envy Ultrabook with Kingston 4GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHz,
Today I added the additional RAM of vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz in 2nd port and the overall RAM in my system got upgraded to 12GB, But soon I realized the speed of RAM given in task manager as 1333MHz. I removed my Kingston RAM and again checked this Vengeance RAM alone in ultrabook. It showed 1600MHz. I again inserted the Kingston RAM and the speed again got downgraded to 1333MHz.
RAM should always be inserted of same model in 2nd port as 1st port to get the most optimal performance, Like Kinston 2x4 RAM modules
Wrong reviews
By Sujit Tom Joseon
I've seen that some guys experience speed is lowered by using this RAM. That problem has nothing to do with the RAM. That's the way computer hardware works. If you use 2 different RAM of different specification, the running specification will be the lowest configuration set. So if you have one 1600 MHz and other 1333MHz RAMs in your computer/laptop, the actual running speed for both RAM will be 1333MHz which is the lowest in the set installed. If you're using one 1600 MHz and one 800 MHz, then the running configuration will be on 800 MHz. So if you want a running speed o1600 MHz, you should install RAM with minimum speed of 1600 MHZ. If you use one 1600 MHz and one 1800 MHz, you'll get 1600 MHz actual running speed.
Works with mid-2012 13'' i5 Macbook Pro !
By Rohan Rajaon
Installed 2 of these in my Apple MD101 and worked flawlessly, though the RAM is not Apple certified. Installed it with Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD and now the mac boots really fast as well as multitasking is also very smooth. The mammoth 16 GB RAM enabled me to use some part of RAM as super fast RAMDisk for saving caches and temporary files at speeds up to 2-4 GBps.
WS RETAIL PLEASE GET THIS RAM ASAP :)
By Ankit padhiaron
seems like a Fantastic RAM , and it is for hard-core Gamers. only prob is a bit high price due to Some Other Sellers than flipkart ( WS retail ).
Waiting ( desperately ) for WS retail to get this RAM asap .
this particular RAM having 10 latency ( described as 9 but it will give 10 ) , which is something very good for Notebooks .
--AUTO OVERCLOCKING -- ( you dnt need to go in bios for settings and all that )
WS RETAIL , come back with this again !!!
Great Product, Great Pricing
By Lakshmi Narayanan Gon
First of all, I would like to point out the small inaccuracy in the Product Description. The latency is not CAS 9 as mentioned, but CAS 10. You can verify this from Corsair website itself. For Laptop RAMs they don't yet have a DDR3 1600 MHZ CAS 9 latency RAM module.
Now coming to the actual product, I don't have anything to say against it. It works perfectly as is expected from a Corsair product. All the other specifications are bang on target and Working with virtualization has become easier for me now.
The only con I found was with the packaging. Flipkart was known for their great packaging once upon a time. But sadly, they're losing on that side nowadays. It was packed in an ordinary Flipkart branded courier cover. I vaguely remember me a friend ordering some rechargable batteries over a year ago for some 200 - 300 bucks and receiving it a well packed box. A 4500 worth RAM module was packed in an ordinary courier cover.
One star knocked off for the poor packaging.
Other than that, the delivery was quite prompt. Placed order on May 17, around 1.00 AM, order was accepted on the same morning around 7.00 AM, got the RAM module delivered from Delhi to Chennai on May 18th afternoon. Thoroughly impressed with the promptness of it.
A very good RAM
By Dheeraj Hegdeon
I bought this RAM a few days ago. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm sure it'll be as usual- Quality product from flipkart delivered on time. Now, the main reason I'm writing this review is because I built my first PC and had to pass through a few hurdles. My rig is:
i5 3470 processor- Rs. 11638
Intel DH77EB MoBo- Rs. 6837
Cosair 8gb RAM- Rs. 3192
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6670- Rs. 5666
Cooler Master Elite 343 Cabinet- Rs. 2150
Cooler Master Thunder 450W PSU- Rs. 3000
LG DVD writer- Rs. 950
500gb Hitachi HDD- Rs. 3150
UPS cum Inverter- Rs. 3000
Total: 39500 apprx
A few advices while building your own PC:
1) Get a mobo that has VGA, HDMI and DVI ports. Mine didn't have VGA port and I had to scramble between a few options before finally settling on the VGA port on the graphics card.
2) Choose intel over amd, always. I was first a fan of AMD, but then I saw a lot of tech websites and comparisons. My Quad core 3.2 Ghz i5 3470 is better than AMD's Octa core 4 Ghz FX 8350.
3) Among intel, i5 is almost same as i7 for normal gaming, with just a difference of 2 mb cache memory and different integrated GPU. (exception: i5 3570k has same GPU as i7)
4) Always check the compatibility of operating frequencies of the components (RAM, GPU, MoBo)
5) Research a lot on the internet about even the minutest doubt- they usually skyrocket into big ones if ignored.
Solid Stable Value
By Prashast Kumaron
This is currently the best value in 8GB DDR3 DIMMs. Solid, stable and dependable.
Physically, the heat sink is large and may foul with larger CPU coolers on some motherboards.
You can match this RAM to either Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge CPUs. The JEDEC defaults are usually selected by the motherboard automatically.
Caution : Don't buy this RAM with older chipsets like the Intel H61 as that does not support double sided memory.
A perfect balance for Money and Performance
By Shoaib Shaikhon
I bought this RAM from Flipkart in the month of May-2013 at Rs 4185 and now price has increased in a short span.First of all Flipkart service is amazing.I got this RAM within 48 hours at my door step.And talking about this RAM i would say just go for it if you are a gamer like me.It also has a heat sink which keeps it cool.I am using it since 1 month and performance wise it is very good.I can play games on highest settings with just a single stick of 8gb provided i have a decent high end system too.
Shocked with package!!!
By Pruthviraj Kiggalon
Excellent RAM, but received it in box with no bubble raper to protect the RAM.
i was shocked to see how I received it.
reducing the rating to 2*, cause of poor package...
Does justice to the price tag
By Wongdhu Gyalpoon
I am writing this after 7 months of purchase (never got around to writing a review until now) and yes the Corsair ddr3 Vengeance 8gb RAM is truly worth your investment. The embedded heat sink does a fantastic job and there is no hitch even when your system is working for 12-15 hours at a stretch. Of course the optimal use of this ram is best complimented with an equally powerful processor ( quad core at-least in case of AMD and i5 for Intel)
Also, purchasing one stick of 8 makes sense for future upgrade as you are left with vacant slots for more muscle power.

very good RAM for laptop
By Aki_26on
i got this product at resnable price from snapdeal. This RAM incresse speed of laltop
far away its a good RAM for latops.:D
Recommended to high performance
By Venkaton
Pretty good match on specifications. Visible difference in performance and speed for laptops when tested with high end computing and analytics applications. Recommended for laptops that come with preconfigured low end memory. Purchased after going through a lot of reviews and comparison of Corsair with Kingston Xpress.
This is an excellent choice for gamers too. Wish the MB supported more than 8GB but even on desktop corsair is prefect.
