Corsair 6400C4D Promos - What we do, how we do it, and our offer

[DerekT]

Did you ran memory test for those timming, my can't do 800MHz 3-4-4-9 , 2.4V . It got error when run memtest86

This is the thing with hardware. No two sets will be the same. Yes, mine are memtested. My Core2 will not make 3.2GHz without 1.39v and 3.4Ghz with 1.52v. Some are getting far better results with the same L629A than I get. I test with www.memtest.org (Memtest86+)

Such is the life of the enthusiast.

Why is that, does the memory not work to specifications? If you are having issues, let us know.

rams will work as they are required but it's known that they are not as overclock as micron D9 chips. I bought these rams because I thought they were Micron D9, Corsair at least should have told me while they were selling them to me. PROMOS isn't the best chip for Overclock I bought those rams to make overclock Corsair's fault was not to warn us.

ex: Corsair Dominator 2x1GB DDR2 800Mhz PC6400 C4DP

Well, in all due respect, the Corsair reps. SPECIFICALLY posted the IC status ON THIS VERY FORUM. You might be tempted to go a little more in depth in such matters in the future

Otherwise, it's nice of Corsair to initiate such an "exchange" program.

[Atrin]

I don't have to read the forum besides I have just registered. A lot of people read other forums just like me. Exchange program is a nice thing but it was for the ones who bought it before the 28th november 2006, i bought it later on. I don't agree that Corsair is right, I'm still think that Corsair should have warned us. Nobody has to read the forums

And likewise, corsair doesn't guarantee anything other than stock performance. You did get exactly what you paid for, the information about the 6400C4D was made public over a month ago, all you had to do was find the information.

OC is always a gamble, my own 3200ll v1.1 didn't OC for crap, RMA (one stick was bad), and the 1.2's I got back were much better.

[Atrin]

overclock is a gamble I accept that but I bought those rams because I knew they were using micron d9, yet I didn't run into an information in regards to. After I bought I had registered to XtremeSystems and found out. Corsair at least could coded as if in the example PC6400C4DP

As to me, "extreme" rams are bought for overclock. If I had to spend that much just to use default I would buy Kingston or Twinmos

Despite being true, I, personaly, have come to expect more from brands like corsair, then "just" living up to the rated specs. Thing is, if its a matter of; "you get what you pay for" "they live up to specs" etc. i would just get some value ram that will do 800Mhz at C4, but not a single Mhz more. I mean this is why i pay 30% to 50% extra for the leading brands like corsair.

But who cares anymore, wait till the Micron chips are in stock again, or get a competing brand. Here is a list of Ram using Micron chips:http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/

I wish someone would just test these new Promos Ram against Micron, or any other Ram in the price range. Or just print a big lable on the box saying: "This might not be the test winning Ram, you read about" and be done with it.

I do find the return policy, a positive step from corsair, and I do think the service on the forums is great. especially Yellowbeard and Ramguy seem to have there hands full. I doubt Corsair will ever do this swaping of the chips thing again, without prober notice, since the man power alone must have cost them a bundle. So for my part i can say corsair has not lost me as a costumer, but i will be looking more closely at what i get from them in the future.

[Yellowbeard]

I thought we clarified all of this at the THG forum?

[larsdidriksen]

we did. Like i said

[JohntechUSA]

I doubt that Micron IC's will ever meet the currant demand. As more DDR2 systems come on line the production will have to be increased and it’s not clear if Micron has done that. Like Corsair and many other module makes have also switched a while back to other IC's they had to. And Corsair is one of the few who will tell you what IC they use, look in the IC Inquiry Thread posted on Corsair's own forum.
