Continuing my reviews for the hardware that went into my most recent computer build. The Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) module pairs are great. I don”t know why I would with any other company for memory modules. These modules are rock solid.
I installed them, booted the computer up for the first time and the computer did not boot. I took each pair out and booted up the computer one pair at a time and all 4 sticks worked. One of the modules might not have been seated correctly. But after reseating everything, the computer booted up. The motherboard detected all the memory and at the correct speed.
It might not be the fastest memory out there compared to the OC counterparts, but I was not looking for the fastest. I was looking for stable and reliable. The computer will not be used for gaming, it will be used as the day to day computer / media server.
