Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1866MHz C9 Review

[Ket]

Ow!

Kudos to you, Ket. First time since loooooong I've seen someone be so clear about a 'bad'* product. I like it

*: the product is not bad, but it's just nowhere near what marketing promises.

Regardless of the results this kit was begging for a review. I'm a honest person, so good or bad I will always give the results to people straight

Both kits are ver. 5.11

I'm not sure why you think these are "high end"
I paid a total of $170 for 16GB.

I never said this kit was high end, I did however reiterate what Corsair said themselves about these modules, which is designed for overclocking, with overclockers in mind. Obviously, this kit at least is far from up to snuff. I had very modest expectations of this kit, if they had managed 8-9-8-25 1N @ 1866, or 8-8-8-25 1N @ 1866 with around stock voltage I would of called that a win considering its a 8GB kit, but the kit can't even do that.

the power of marketting lol

Pun intended?

ED - Even 9-9-9-25 1N @ 1.65v isn't stable. Sooner Corsair get this kit switched the better.
