Memory

Corsair Vengeance LP

     

Such is the quality of the RAM chips used that a lot of Memory kits are inseparable. So when we first saw the Corsair Vengeance with its white heat-sink and extremely low voltage we sat up and took notice. Not only did it have great performance at stock settings but with some extra volts pumped through you could get the kit down to a low CAS7. More importantly its the first ram from Corsair to work with large CPU coolers. Read our review here.

G.Skill RipjawsX

    

At the other end of the scale was the 2133MHz version of the G.Skill RipjawsX. A big 8GB kit running at CAS9 2133MHz provided great lumps of memory bandwidth and performance to match, all wrapped up in the gorgeous RipjawsX heatsink. Read our review here.
