    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: Lifetime warranty + great performance

    Weaknesses:N/A

    Overall Evaluation: No issues with the fan height - easily fit within my Antec Sonata II case. Ram runs good and cool at rated timings/volts. Abit IP35 mb has no issues with these modules. Luckily I waited for these to drop in price. Can't believe I got them for less than what I paid for my first 2gb ddr2 kit:-) I highly recommend.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

    Strengths: Price to performance

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: Price to performance on these modules was my main purchase point, second was the name. I had read that Corsair changed the module manufacturer, which is why the price was lower, but the performance change was minimal. Because these DIMMs were going into a HTPC, I wanted at least 4GB. My experience from 2GB to 4 GB in the Vista platform was huge. I have noticed that in idle, I was using roughly 50% of my memory. In COH, it was 98%! Doubling the RAM resulted in half that. Besides those features, photo and video editing was so much easier and faster.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Days

    Strengths: Good heatsink/fan system, 1066Mhz, 4GB, Good brand

    Weaknesses:Need a 64 bit OS to take full advantage of it, pricier than other comparable memory.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this memory primarily for the heatsink and fan, and the fact that it was made by Corsair, one of the best memory manufacturers. After I put a fan on the memory in my old computer, it greatly increased my ability to overclock. When building a new PC I wanted a memory fan, and buying them together was a better deal then buying them separately. I've been running them at the rated speed and they've been rock solid, I will try overclocking them next.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast, Stable, Good looking, Comes with a 3 Fan Module to keep the RAM cool, Lifetime Warranty

    Weaknesses:The RAM has a larger footprint with the heat spreaders, Fan Module may not fit in all cases

    Overall Evaluation: I just upgraded my machine and purchased 2 sticks of this memory. I installed the memory and the fans and have had no problems so far. I had no trouble fitting the 3 Fan Module onto my motherboard even though the processor is right next to it. I've had no heat problems and am really happy with this RAM. I'll probably buy another 2 stick sometime soon. With the Lifetime warranty, you really can't go wrong.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast, cool looking, ,comes with extra fans

    Weaknesses:Don't need to use the extra fans in my system

    Overall Evaluation: I got two sticks of these rams for my new built. These babies are fast and running stable without a problem. They are a bit taller than your usual RAMS due to their design. Also the fans that came with these RAMS are useless for me since my case is a SFF case so there is no room to install the fans nor do I need to. Overall, I think these RAMS are great and they're from a very reputable brand. They comes with a lifetime warranty from Corsair. So if you need some fast, stable and cool looking RAMS, i'd highly recommend these.
