The timings of this memory are 9-9-9-24 (Lower means Better!), which is extremely fast for a module running at 1600Mhz. My processor is the Core i5-2520M (Sandy Bridge) and can only accept memory frequency ranges of up to 1333Mhz :( but I bought it knowing this would happen anyway. Why? Because of the benefits from downclocking this to 1333MHz!
-[Unlike the newer series up from the i7 2720QM which accepts 1600MHz. So if you have the 2720QM, 2760QM or better you can run this at its rated frequency]-
It downclocks to 1333Mhz and runs at LOWER timings of 8-8-8-20 at this frequency. It is priced the same as 1333MHz Crucial and Samsung and has timings that are way better, and this makes a noticeable difference when you're running a lot of resource-hogging applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, and even while gaming.
I already had a 4GB module on my HP Elitebook 8460p, but I swapped it out for this kit and am running this in dual channel mode while I figure out how on earth I survived with just 4GB of memory that was so much slower! Also, I tested out 1 Vengeance module versus my older pre-installed Samsung memory and it's still noticeably faster!
Pros:-
- Easy to attach, if you know what you're doing. Took me five minutes and only because I had trouble finding my screwdriver lol
- Remains cool and no heating issues (yet).
- Excellent timings even at 1600MHz. If you're running it at below 1333MHz, expect timings even better than the 8-8-8-20 I'm getting. [As Joe MacBu pointed out, it runs at 6-6-6-16 at 1066MHz. That's blazin'!]
- An option to consider if you have a gaming notebook and want more memory without having to buy higher frequency (and more expensive) performance memory. Consider this for more performance @ 8GB - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz PC3 204 Pin 15000 SODIMM Laptop Memory CMSX8GX3M2A1866C10 for it's 1866MHz frequency and fab timings (but only if you have the latest i7s - 2720QM and up). You could also try looking for a good 16GB kit with at least a frequency of 1600MHz. (I tried looking on Amazon but didn't find anything I liked). But this is entirely up to you.
- Comes in a small, easy to open, easy to dispose package. When I saw the box I couldn't believe how small it was! It's the size of my palm.
Cons:-
- Runs at 1.5V, which is fine since almost every other memory module you will find runs at 1.5V, but I would have loved it if this ran at 1.35V like certain power-efficient memory kits in the market.
- Should have come with the custom heatsink design like the other Vengeance models... or maybe that's asking for too much! Sorry haha
- The biggest problem is that I am hard-pressed to find something wrong with this kit for you. But I'll keep an eye out and update in the next few months...
In short, this is probably the best upgrade you can give your laptop for a noticeable boost in performance for less than $50. I'd be hard-pressed to say 'no'.... Highly recommended! You won't be sorry :)
**PS - Note that this is a 204-pin module so ensure that your notebook can use it!**
Helped me speed up my older PC.
Corsair is a smart buy, and a monolith in the RAM market. They've been in the RAM game for a bit and they know what they're doing.
Buy some Corsair RAM, but, for the sake of avoiding a bad experience if you don't know what you're doing or looking at when you buy computer RAM, ask some computer geek people to look at what exactly you need, because if you get the wrong clock speed, and mix it with other RAM of different clock speeds, different latencies, and other bits of techno-babbley stuff, you might not have the best experience, so, there's more than the GB number you need to know.
You'll need to know what generation of RAM works best for your computer DDR4? DDR5? DDR ... what?, what form-factor your computer needs (SO-DIMM in my case for laptop), what clock speed your computer works best and is compatible with (if you get a high clock speed that your computer doesn't support, then it probably won't work, and if you get a really low clock speed, you could make your computer even slower), ... and then there's a latency group of numbers, but, this isn't as important unless you're squeezing for maximum performance and if so, then you'll want to be picky.
Anyway, that's enough of my babble.
Buy Corsair RAM. Their in the top of RAM pick choices, and I expect they always will be.
The shipping was very fast all things considered.
(I tried ordering Kingston HyperX Impact from another seller but 3 weeks later it never shipped so I canceled that. Even considering current situation that’s a long time for one item to even leave the facility. It also kept saying in stock then out of stock within minutes of refreshing amazon page.)
The CL is slightly better than my old ram sticks 2x8gb CL19. The old set were in higher utilization (obviously 16gb vs 32gb) but was slowing down my laptop in general. I was constantly waiting for programs to load up and now it’s almost instant.
My system has four ram slots but only supports dual channel not quad. Considering how much snappier my machine loads applications now, I’m very impressed with this kit.
I’m not an expert with computers, just a hobby when it comes to upgrades. But seeing utilization closer to 25% with a couple programs running seems much better than about 75% usage with same programs.
The memories frequency just about never hits 2666mhz but usually stays in the 2650’s MHz. It has not gone lower than 2651mhz nor has it gone higher than 2657mhz on my pc.

I would highly recommend this RAM for anyone considering it. Extreme value IMO.
