Is Corsair reliable?

I have never had Corsair RAM but i have only heard good things. I have only had Mushkin RAM and they all have oc very well.

corsair is a exellent brand, much like ocz is, its quality all the way on their highend and lowend products, kingston/a-data on the other hand is cheaper/quality brands if you ask me*

corsair makes overclocker friendly hardware, and their core brand is basicly memory, but their power supplys are exellent

btw
i got nearly 10 aka lost count amunt of flash voyagers
i got 3x 8GB Vengeance CL8 kits
i got a 620W HX series power supply

none except a flash voyager got unglued, but other than it no problems at all, even all the memory kits has not failed yet, and i have also tested all of them in memtest86+

Yeah that's the only slight downer I've had. My 1600MHz triple channel sticks weren't easy to get working on x58 - which they were specifically designed for, and the max OC I ever got was 1650MHz :ohwell:

Crucial (aka Micron) always seem generous with OCing even on their value range, in comparison.
I picked the Corsair RAM because it was cheapest at the time. It's reliability has been 0 problems so far.

LoL. WHUT!?!

high prices? Where? 8GB 2133 9-11-9 1.5v for $139 is priced high? They are priced right along with everyone else.

:rolleyes:

This is only my opinion and based on my own experience with some of their products.
Corsair does make reliable products, ones that I have had.
Which included memory, a PSU, and a couple of USB sticks.
Sticks still work, memory and PSU are still chugging away in the sis-in-laws desktop that she inherited from me on an upgrade of one of my systems.

Remember though... if you by a low end product, don't expect it to perform like the higher end ones.
Get what is proper for your application, something that meets or exceeds the requirements you plan on using for.
