Their Vengeance series memory is only one product from a line of products.
Why would you blame all of Corsair for shoddy memory covers?
Though I will be avoiding that memory as well now.

GSkill from here on out
True but I expected more of them as a company when this happened as easy as me moving modules from slots 2 and 4 to slots 1 and 3
They claim to bake the head spreaders to the mem modulesWhy would you blame all of Corsair for shoddy memory covers?

To be rather blunt, I have a set of corsair that the spreaders fell off of......also a set of OCZ and gskill.
I also have sets that i removed spreader.
The way that thermal adhesive is shredded it sure looks like someone was curious what IC's were under the hood.........

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
The way one chip is pried off it sure doesn't look like moving the stick between slots :P

The way that thing looks it is like someone was pissed off and yanked out the memory module without opening the tabs.
Umm is that the top memory or the cheaper stuff Corsair sells? Had a friend buy (dunno why) 16 meg of:
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
"As a bonus, the attractive low price of Vengeance memory will also leave lots of room in your system build budget"
Hmm, cheap means cutbacks somewhere..............
All stock for now, no need for more, but it's gonna be soon methinks.

gskill uses the same kind of double sided sticker to adhere the sticks for the newer stuff and they use non adhesive pads on the old HZ and the heat spreaders come off when u grab them or remove them from the package or look at them cross.
it sucks that that happened but i dont see how u ripped the spreaders off as it takes quite a bit of force to rip and ic off and only one module coming off is normally from trying to remove the spreaders as there is a joint so both sides come off its rather suspect for them to come off
also u could try baking it back on since u have some balls on and some not it should line back up.

Yeah, moving sticks without unclipping them maybe. No way you could pull a chip off removing ram properly.
My pot is bigger than your pot
WHAU!!!!
I just tried to... you know... remove the heatspreader to know the ICs
I am just Super Talent

You're never buying Corsair again because you destroyed a stick trying to get the heatspreader off?

Wasnt trying to take the spreaders off I wanst interested in knowing what chips they have under there because I didnt want to trash the memory I was seating them in different slots and putting pressure on the top of the spreader to seat them and they separated pulling one chip completely off. Thats prolly why only one chip came off instead of the whole row. I was putting pressure on that side to seat it first them moved to the other side

I killed a really nice SuperTalent kit doing that too...not doing that again
Maybe next time you should do the intelligent thing and push on the PCB like you are supposed to.
Had corsair "baked the heatspreader to the IC's" like you wanted them to chances are you would have pulled even more of the IC's off. ...and then gotten even more mad than you already are.
In your case there is no win situation, had they used something less sticky and you not pulled an IC off you would most likely still be making this thread to talk about how f(l)ucking ty the glue is...had they epoxied them you'd be mad because you would have pulled every single IC off.

I've always found Corsair very helpful, if you want to send them back I'm sure they'll oblige you; have a word with our bearded friend I'm not even convinced that RAM sinks are as effective as cool air blowing over the sinks.
That said I'm dying to watercool some ram and get flamed by loads of people telling me you don't need ito cool ram. I have a small server with 24GB of FBdimms and they are too hot too touch by hand after a small amount of time.
Lol you guys, just stick the darn thing in a freezer or by the window at night, once it's cold use your id card to remove the heatsink.
Never ever use a fat head screw driver... lol.
i am so drunk...
I hope this post made sense to you guys, I mean really, come on...
Btw corsair ripped me of once, ddr333 cas 2 stuff got cas2 up to 268mhz but no futher on any board, boo corsair lol.
since then I never bought anymore of there stuff.
There excuse, rated for the p4 lol, probably.
I don't care though, then mem clocked good on the nf2,2 cas2.5, 380mhz.
Lol, I know it's pethetic but I was kinda happy about it at the time befor eI gots nw mem.
Btw, thanks da gods for spelling checking jeesh.
This ram chips look good to eat, but i doubts they'de agree with me in da morning.

I've never had a problem with any of my corsair memory
I can't imagine how pulling a module out or seating it in would cause the chips to fall off... Peeking at the RAM chips looks a lot more likely to me.

For those that cant read Ive stated time and time again I didnt care what chips were under the spreaders. I also stated in the first post I was under the impression Corsair baked their heatspreaders to the chip THUS RENDERING A PEEK IMPOSSIBLE since removing BAKED on heat spreaders will 100% of the times destroy the stick. This happened trying to reseat the sticks and applying pressure at the ends of the stick. Yes it was my fault they came apart I didnt think they would come apart that easy though. Anyways I am over it I will switch to something which performs a little better and take care the next time I stick my hands in my case to do something
I've had heat spreaders come off several modules from several manufacturers.
That being said one thing I've learned and I'm passing it on to you guy's:
Do not put pressure on top of the heat spreaders! Instead use the edges of the modules ( i.e. where the PCB protrudes) if possible. If you can't do that then hold the module by both end's between your thumbs & index index fingers while inserting.

I think you are wrong Perkam.
Dominators = baked heatspreaders...
Value, XMS, Vengeance, SO-DIMM and everything else is either no heatspreader or sticky thermal crap.
However... I honestly dont get this thread, the baked heatspreaders of dominator rocks, one of the 2 main leaps that Corsair has... Corsairs main leap is their unique PCB quality.
