Low profile, sensible heat spreader design for use with air coolers. XMP for faster configuration of the RAM timings. I have confidence in Corsair products.

I bought this product on sale, and it was really easy to install (went from 4gb to 8gb on my ASUS). It works great and the performance on my computer has increased greatly for my gaming.

Easy to install

Little pricier than I hoped

it's ram-- with the corsair name you know it will work- added this to a amd quad lappy with a ssd--and all for under 550$ shipped and built--gf's xmas pressie--its a love hate thing--she loves the lappy but hates that it stomps her 1500$ tower :)

It now runs a little quicker but with a hybrid drive its now virtually lag free tabs on I,e are smooth and it does wast corsair put on the tin.

Corsair memory selector gives you CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 kit for 8GB. I didn't work for me. Timing is 9-9-9 which is detected by the BIOS, but your OS will crash eventually. Mine did when loading graphical mode (Debian 7). This memory worked great.

To sum things up many people will say that faster ram for situations other than a system with an integrated GPU does not improve performance. However, in this circumstance, using this ram at its rated speed versus stock DDR4 2133 MHz showed increased performance in every benchmark I ran.

Lifetime warranty Comes in three different colors Low profile heatsinks helps alleviate any large air cooler issues Completely stable using the manufacturer's rated timings and voltages using HCI Memtest (4.0) to verify stability for hours without any errors.

Using XMP to setup the memory at the right speed and timings did not work well at all; Despite resetting the bios to default settings, the system would not post with XMP enabled; It set the timings and the speed correctly, however what it did to the CPU settings was the problem.
