Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1.35v Review
Test Setup and Overclocking
Published: 5th September 2011 | Source: Corsair | Price: £49.86 |
Test Setup
8GB Corsair Vengeance LP @ 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.35v
Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4GHz
ASUS Maximus IV Gene
nVidia GTX570
Muskin Joule 1200w
Noctua NH-D14
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Overclocking
Upping the voltage to 1.4v we can reduce the timings from 9-9-9-24 to 8-9-8-24. A further increase to 1.5v can get the delay down to eight so we end up with a much better 8-8-8-24 timing.
If you want to go up to the maximum 1.65v you have a bit of a choice. You can either have 1600@7-8-7-24 or 1866@10-11-10-27. We'd be inclined to take the CAS7 timings ourselves, but either way it's lovely to have a Sandy Bridge kit that can overclock.

WOW that is low v
impressive memory kit.
That is a really nice looking ram with good performance to boot
Very cool indeed. 1.35 v is truly awesome. If I upgrade my cooler, these are on the top of my list as I can only fit a few coolers because of the large heat spreaders on the vengeance ram I'm currently using.
my blue ones came today 
wow not what i expected.....i figured their next kit would be the corsair devastator or maybe the corsair obliviator.... complete with 26cm carbon nano-tube heatsinks.....
i feel so cheated........
i feel so cheated........
I do feel the urge to get some of that memory, unfortunately I already did invest in some memory for my rig 
Nice review as always!
Nice review as always!
Yeah im impressed with this memory kit.
Very nice :]
Awesome stuff good review TTL, been keeping an eye on these for a little while, prices vary slightly but you can get the 1.5v coloured LP kits for around £44-£46 off the usual online sites which advertise on OC3D such as Aria/Scan. Thinking of getting these for my x58 board seen a picture of six white sticks in a Gigabyte board looks awesome.
Wow some tasteful looking ram corsair normally make horrid looking ram and decent price thats pretty cool.

A near perfect score, 9-10-10. Going to be so much easier to source than G.Skill Ecos.
Anyone know how this scales against the Mushkin Blackline 8GB DDR3-1600 ULV CL9 kit (996988) which is also 1.35V and only slightly more expensive (where I live anyway )
Nice to see more producers are working with options in coulor

They're finally available here in Canada from anywhere between $90 - $100 per 8GB kit. I wonder if they're really worth investing in? They do look cool though even if you don't OC them. 
I wonder if they have any motherboard compatibility problems? I'm guessing with Sandy Bridge, even the most budget boards should be able to support these memory modules.

I cannot get my system prime stable with these running anything lower than 9-9-9-24. Not a complain, but expected them to get close to your 7-8-7-24 with 1.65V. However, if I set 8-8-8-24, prime crashes in first two runs (rounding error) and if I try to go 7-8-7-24, system wouldn't boot at all, or get BSOD's. A bit disappointed, although for my gaming there will be minimal benefit of tighter timings i reckon.

from the looks of it.. looks like nanya.. yuck
4gb density modules don't have the best timings/overclockability, but corsair's lower end and even alot of their medium range dimms aren't the best clockers.
hynix bfr used in some 4gb density are probably going to be the best case scenario... 9-11-9 2133 usually some lower bin are 9-11-10
For low voltage.. i'd love to see some kingston lovo reviews
