Hey! I personally have had better luck with the Hyper X. It is actually optimized for Intel gen 3 processors (Ivy Bridge) vs the Corair's Gen 2 (makes a big difference as Intel may release a Gen 4 soon).The latency on the Hyperx is better as well, 9-9-9-24 vs 10-10-10-24 (you have to read the details at the bottom on the Corair page, they are different than the top.) It will automatically hyper thread as needed which can save power in laptops.AND it is also CHEAPER :-)

I have a few years in experience in hosting but kingston and corsair is like a bently and a viper Kingston=reliable good performanceCorsair=super performance reliable eeemmm it could be better

buy LP (Low-Profile: Meaning shorter) version of the ram and probably none. I have one of the biggest / best fan coolers (NH-D14) and with my low profile corsair vengeance ram the cooler hangs perfectly over the ram with no problems. But if you want an exact answer...you should probably go onto the MOBO's website and look at what ram works with what coolers? This is the internet, google can find you just about anything.

Yes!! "Vengeance memory is backward compatible with notebooks which use first-generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7processors. Even if your notebook doesn't use the latest-generation processor, you can still upgrade to 8GB using only two memory slots, and enjoy the confidence of Corsair's renowned service and support." From their Website. Must have a 64bit system and may work fine at 1333hz.

I bought cossair dominator 16 GB 1833 MHz and love it. How ever the I heard g skill is good too. Most importantly refer to mb ram compatibility chart from Asus web site. Sorry I don't know to well about Kingston. Happy ram hunting!

Yes, we tested all speeds of DDR2. They all worked fine. Same results with DDR3. The differences we unnoticeable. You can not use DDR3 and DDR2 at the same time. Either or.

Can someone clarify the ram in this? It looks from reviews, like it needs 1333 ram (which is PC3-10600..correct?), however looks like it comes with 2x1gb ddr3 800 mhz ram...so which one is it? Will any 2x2gb PC3-10600 work?

I'd like to know the answer to this, as well. I have Corsair Dominator 3x2GB DDR3-SDRAM, and just eyed this myself. And if anyone would know, does it conflict with my Thor's Hammer HSF?

Glad to answer Mic, It's been over two years since I purchased my set. I think I paid something over $500.00 for my four Corsair Dominators. They were the top of the line of maybe the most recommended RAM. I bought them after returning an intermediate level set of Corsair RAM. I wanted to get the fastest speed of execution. I tested my original lowest (cheapest, or lowest of the five levels, which I took out of my older computer), an intermediate Corsair set (which was my first choice for my new computer), and ultimately the Dominator set (which I bought after returning the intermediate set) for speed, doing the exact same operations on all three sets. I was surprised to find that all three executed the operations at close to the same speed. The Dominator set was maybe 5% faster. I thought about returning the Dominator set for the set I had ordered previously, but ended up keeping it. There may be quality of preparation and testing of the Dominator series that makes it a reliable and more durable memory, and so far mine has worked well. But memory has no moving parts, and I think I remember reading that memory, or RAM, is about the most dependable component of computer hardware anyway. If I were to build from scratch again, which is what I did, I would spend less on memory and more on something else. You certainly could buy the Dominator series, but the extra money you spend, by my experience, won't show up in daily performance. That's how I feel about the Dominator series for myself. I hope you found something helpful. Bill Stockich Best wishes, Bill Stockich

I have this laptop, and installed Corsair Vengence at 1600 Mhz, in fact, it new comes with memory at 1333 Mhz

Personally I used the G.Skill Ripjaws X series ram. 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3-1600.No problems at all! Do mind the relatively high heat fins they have when you are looking at CPU coolers, if you plan on doing liquid cooled then you should be fine.

I could not answer that question. I did a build and new my motherboard. With that knowledge I consulted Asus's QVL (Qualified Vendor Lists) for my memory choice. I am by no means an expert of computer hardware. Thank you for asking. I choose this memory of the choices because of the ability to connect with the Corsair Link system, its cooling features and benefits, and matched pairing.

Yes, I can confirm the above specs on this memory. It's the only reason I paid so much for this stuff. Many memory claim to have specs like this, but this one actually delivered. On my Asus motherboard, some other memory, when put into XMP memory mode would give me a message that it failed to "Overclock". But this one has never given me that message. All the memory testing utilities show the voltage and timings to be these specs. It's the real deal. Enjoy.

Look up the memory specs for the RAM that is currently in your computer. The things that you are looking for is what species of DDR memory it uses (this one is 204-pin DDR3 [PC3 8500]), and the clock speed (of the ram, not the processor). This RAM is 1066 MHz, but Apple computers will detect it as 1067 MHz for some reason. Another good thing to note (but I don't know if it's 100% required) is to look up the timing (this one is 7-7-7-20). If all of these match, it will most likely work (random incompatibilities do happen). If they all match, but the timing is different, it might work (worth a shot).

Yes, I'm using 16GB (2x8GB) 1866Mhz Corsair Vengeance memory modules on this machine, included are a couple of modules with 2GB/4GB. I would recommend pulling those out completely and get a new matched pair.

Corsair is typically listed on Asus' verified vendors list. For this particular board (when I searched it I got an Asus board A85XM-A). According to the specs on their website, you can have up to two cards of DDR3 memory. This memory is DDR3 1600 Mhz, which is a speed that the board can process. The bottom line: yes http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/A85XMA/#specifications
