You are misunderstanding something here,it is not corsair's achievable performance but the deceptive marketing that is in question.Sure one can run Vengeance 1600CL9 ram at 1600 by using XMP but that's not the point.The point is why it is not by default without using XMP when the same model Vengeance units sold in earlier years could do the same.

P.S.I think I read in that thread that there are hardly any rams that can run over 1833 without using XMP.Basically there are hardly any rams with JEDEC/SPD profile of above 1833 & even 1833 JEDEC/SPD ram are difficult to find.

Check the links that i provided. The other RAMs tested in that review by TH also default at 1333MHz. It's just not Corsair only. Only Patriot one defaults at 1600MHz but is still advertised to have a higher frequency.

My PC Specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte h110m-S2ph,
Processor: i5 7500,
RAM: 8GB,
Graphic Card : AMD RX 480 8GB.
My problem is my PSU is not running. I bought it from IT Depot,Chennai. I gave the connection properly but its not running. I don't know whether its my PSU's Fault or Motherboard. Waiting for reply.

Post a photograph as how you connected.
Did you connect the 8pin power cable & 24pin power cable to the motherboard along with 8pin pcie power cable to the graphics card.
Did you turn on the switch on the backside of your PSU.
Check that and confirm.

Did you again recheck every connection you did until now?
If the problem persists then it's your PSU which is at fault.
You need to change it.

If the PSU is newly bought , better replace it now with something better quality.. Rx 480 is a 150W card , if not possible right now because of budget , don't use it for more than 2 years..

Any Suggestion for PSU???
Click to expand...

Seasonic S12II 520 @ 5.5k .. it can last you 7-8 years easily and safely on average ( unless you are unlucky) , has a 5 year warranty as well ..
expensive compared to Vs , but worth it...

edit - not safely , Does not have OCP and UVP on 12v

It seems like Antec's new Earthwatts Gold Pro series based on Seasonic's Focus Gold platform with 7 yrs warranty is available.

ANTEC SMPS EA550G PRO - 550 WATT 80 PLUS GOLD CERTIFICATION SEMI MODULAR PSU

Competition is Corsair's TXM series:
CORSAIR SMPS TX550M - 550 WATT 80 PLUS GOLD CERTIFICATION SEMI MODULAR PSU WITH ACTIVE PFC

the psu list here is so exhausted that picking the right one is really troublesome.!

BTW, there are new PSUs from cooler master in the budget segment namely mwe and mw lite. Did anyone see any reliable review of the lower watt units(450W,500W)?

""roughly""

"MWE" is equivalent to old Corsair VS class (yellow) ..

"Masterwatt lite" is "slightly" better than new Corsair VS class ( white )( not yet launched here ) - mostly Teapo caps ,

[Lesertest] Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500W Userreview

"MWE bronze" is much better than new Corsair VS with DC-DC design- mostly Teapo caps ,

all of the above have 3 year warranty

CX (non modular ) is better than all of the above , with 5 year warranty .. though there are 2 variants ..

and it is better if you replace your VP450P now , been 5 years iirc ? ..

Yes it's the new Seasonic model. The older models had 3 yrs warranty. Indian websites just changed the model name and updated pics.
Antec EAG PRO 550W
