Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CL9 12 GB DDR3

Darksaber · Dec 11, 2010

Corsair has introduced their new line of memory called Vengeance. Available in high capacity kits up to 16 GB we got a hold of the triple-channel one with 4x 3 GB modules. That said we push the trio to the max and see if it comes back with a vengeance or fizzles into thin air quietly.

Great review as always, i was surprised how far these modules overclocked considering they are 4GB sticks.

If money was an issue i would happily consider these over some corsair dominators.

I have a set of this ram. It's been quite good. However, since moving to Sandy Bridge, I no longer need 3 4GB sticks, so I'm selling them. If not for this, I'd not part with them as they may be the best value in 12GB DDR3.

Wow, this price for the kit is amazing. People who wanted 12GB early from X58 now have a great price alternative.

In @ scan @ £140. I paid £140 for the 4GB set of OCZ in my specs about 8 months ago :shadedshu (OCZ Reaper HPC 1600 CL7 in case specs change)

£140 for 12GB of DDR3? That's seriously impressive.

OMG SEXY, and they seem to preform well, and have a decent price, I'm sold!

2v thru them? Little excessive not much ddr3 scales over 1.7v now...

Could that be because of the high-density though?

Nope shouldn't be voltage has nothing to do with density other than imc volts.
