Thanks for clearing my doubts :)
I thought I was cheated , he charged me 1.4 k for 4gb ddr3 hynix ram .
Only when I checked internet later did I find that corsair ram is available at that rate .

d3p, kudos to you for compiling this helpful guide. We appreciate your wonderful effort.
:thumbs:

I would like to know your and the other knowledgeable members' opinion on the Corsair Vengeance 4GB Single Module DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9). The reference link is, Vengeance®

An acquaintance at university will be building a gaming system for himself, and I suggested the aforementioned memory module.
:chinscratch:

On a side note, how does one member give reputation (rep) to another member? This thread deserves it from my side.

Vengeance memory modules are good but they don't OC much and make sure you are not using any huge cpu cooler ( if you need any further assistance do create a new thread mention your firend's future pc config ).

Please update the guide.
What is the difference between these two models-
corsair-vengeance-ddr3-8-gb-2-x-4-gb-pc-ram-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9r/p/itmddca5zbuhqesh?pid=RAMDDC9YQNNXFY3H&

apart from pricing and capacity there's no difference ... the price is higher for the 8GB kit because it's a factory paired kit which generally price more compared to two individual memory sticks of lesser capacity and same specs.

With reference to @bukaida's query, would one recommend to stick with a factory paired kit, or it is better to get two modules (in the case of a dual channel configuration) of the same capacity and other relevant specifications?

Better to stick with a factory paired kit but if you want to cut on some cost then you can get tow modules of similar specs and same capacity. If you want you may want to check if they are of same batch.

Thank you very much, @topgear. How do I check if multiple memory modules are of the same batch, or not?
:ashamed:

There's no exact rule but look out on the pack of ram modules ... the first couple digit of S/N may help.

you can use 2+4Gb memory modules from different manufacturers with similar specs but it's better if you use ram module of same manufacturer. Another thing is your motherboard supports upto 1333 Mhz ddr3 ram speed so getting corsair value series 1333 Mhz module makes more sense here.

Guys I have a 4 GB 1333 Corsair Value Select RAM on my Gigabyte H55 motherboard.

Will a 4 GB 1600 RAM work OK with it in 2x4 GB mode?
