Corsair 8GB 1600MHz C9 DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit Linus Tech Tips

Went down to the warehouse and grabbed a set of Corsair 8GB dual channel "i5" RAM so I thought I'd show you all the packaging it comes in. It lacks the traditional Corsair clamshell on account of it being a 4 DIMM kit. I suspect if these kits take off in popularity we will see more of them in the future, and a proper package. We also have a look at Corsair's hot new heatspreader.

Looks really nice. Tough for the camera to focus with all the shinyness

@DontClickMexD Yes it will, ASUS only list RAM that they have tested, these will work no problem

I considering buying the Corsair XMS3 (4 x 2GB) for my Asus P8Z68-M-Pro. The only concern I have is when I checked the Asus website for the Memory compatibility list it did not have the Corsair XMS3 on the list for my motherboard. Is there any chance that the Corsair XMS3 (4 x 2GB) will work on my Asus P8Z68-M-Pro?

@TheLolnoobs More than likely yes, these parts are pretty fragile. *antijokechicken*

I had many problems using the asus corsair XMS3 p8p67 1600c9 with b3 were initially configure blue screen after the bios was able to correct this problem but freezes started to Depue using PC games, any games I overclock, activate the xmp pefil configure timings manually and the blockade persisted after reviewing several forums I saw the same problem with this type of memories using asus, I had to change memory and got a sniper-F3-12800CL9D 8GBSR2 and the problem was solved
