Corsair XMS DDR3 Memory Modules

Replaced by the Crucial Standard 1600MHz CL11 DDR3 Memory

Corsair XMS DDR3 memory modules combine reliability with great value and come complete with manufacturer lifetime warranty.

These DDR3 memory modules from Corsair give excellent reliability and value for money. Their small physical size eliminates any possible interference with an adjacent CPU cooler - they don’t come with oversize heatsinks which can cause clearance problems with oversize processor coolers. Extra performance can be achieved when they are installed in pairs on motherboards which support dual-channel memory interleaving and they come with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Works great!

Antonio Benedetti, 12th January 2013

The memory works great on my AMD motherboard. Even though it is rated at 1600, it is working fine at 1333 because of motherboard and CPU limitations. It is backwards compatible for older motherboards. Tested it with MemTest86, no errors.
