Great looking, great overclocking memory at a great price
Like the legendary Dominator, enthusiast-grade Vengeance DRAM is designed for stability, stringently factory-tested, and backed by our limited lifetime warranty. And, we know that great looks are as important as great performance. This is why Vengeance modules come in a variety of colors to match your components and let you build your system just the way you want it.
Superior overclockability through careful screening
Overclocking your components can be a fun and rewarding way of pushing your gaming PC to its performance limits. Vengeance can help make this happen. Before each module is assembled, the DRAM chips are individually screened not only to ensure reliable meeting performance specifications, but to allow generous headroom for stable overclocking.
Optimized for Compatibility with the Latest CPUs and Motherboards
Vengeance memory is designed specifically for the latest CPUs. Vengeance modules are available in 1.65, 1.5V, and 1.35V configurations for maximum compatibility with all Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, as well as the 2nd generation Intel Core processor family. With dual channel, triple channel, and quad channel kits, there's a Vengeance configuration that's perfect for your motherboard.
XMP Memory Profile for simple, safe overclocking
Vengeance memory supports the Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) standard, and each module is individually factory-programmed with an XMP profile indicating supported timing, frequency and voltages. Just enable XMP on your compatible motherboard and you'll automatically get optimized memory overclocking without having to deal with multiple BIOS settings. Of course, if you're an experienced overclocker — or an aspiring one — you can adjust the settings to push for even higher performance.
Designed for Enthusiasts. Backed by Corsair

Boot up is less than 10 seconds from power button to login. At resolution 1920x1200 with most settings on high (using NVidia GeForce Experience recommendations) gameplay is smooth and pretty with Assassins Creed IV, League of Legends, Rage, Path of Exile, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, & Heroes of the Storm. All the fans are not loud at all and go unnoticed with the box under my desk. The lights look awesome from the fans, psu, & Intel CPU cooler. The case has 3 thermometers labeled for CPU, HDD, and SYS. They make for a nice LED display on the front but placing them in the case is a little tricky. I use HWMonitor to watch temps and so far nothing has gone over 55 Celcius. Gigabyte has some proprietary software w/ their motherboard. I have attempted the auto overclocking program labeled EasyTune but have not had much luck with it. Ended up keeping CPU at it's original 3.4 GHz since there isn't really a need to push it more than that currently. In the future I may try manually overclocking in the BIOS. The BIOS is extremely easy to navigate and has a plethora of configuration options and adjustable parameters.
Overall, system works flawlessly and is everything I wanted with the potential for easy upgrading in the future. Hope this helps if anyone is shopping around and doing some research.
I purchased these memory sticks for my AMD Phenom II X3 720 / ECS 790GX-AD3 motherboard combination. I haven't kept up with DDR3 specs in over 4 years, so I just purchased them because they got great reviews and were priced appropriately. I wasn't expecting any performance gains from the PC3-12800 rating versus what I originally had (PC3-10667). It turns out that the XMP profile is only for Intel based CPU/motherboard combinations and that I'd have to manually set the RAM settings with my AMD setup. Looking at the benchmarks for running DDR3 at 667 MHz vs 800 MHz all at a CAS delay of 9, there wouldn't be any noticeable gains so I am running these Vengeance sticks at PC3-10667 / 667 MHz according to CPU-Z.
I tried using these in combination with a pair of Mushkin 2GB DDR3 PC3-10667 memory sticks, but my PC would fail to POST. I decided to just run the 8GB of Corsair instead of 12GB of the combination for my Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The new RAM did not change my Windows Experience Index rating, and the PC did not have any issues after 3 hours of Prime95 or 1 pass of Memtest86+. I admit this is fairly light testing but this PC was specifically built 4 years ago for gaming and multimedia operations.
Overall: 5/5 stars, requires XMP/overclocking/manual settings to get the advertised PC3-12800/1600 MHz rating, but works fine using the SPD settings. Great price, cool looking heatsinks, seems to run reliable.
Update: 8/17/2011 I've added another one of these kits to my system to max out my board at 16gb. As expected, the additional ram did not notably increase my system performance. My reasoning behind adding the extra ram was because I could and I got a gold box deal on it. That being said, my initial review still stands in every aspect. Corsair ram rocks.
