 great memory for core i7 overclocking |
| Review Date: June 15, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Alex Daniels, Dallas TX |
If you need 12GB instead of 6GB and you still want to overclock then this memory is for you. The memory is great and delivers everything you expect from the Corsair badge. Rock solid and reliable.
It does comes with a freebie fan cooler too which it kind of a throwaway item: They're 3 pin fans not 4 pin and I'm not convinced the holder will keep the fans on the memory if you're transporting your PC as it seems like it slides very easily. But it kinda works, and if you're serious about memory cooling, you'll probably do your own thing anyway.
This MB is definitely worth a look for i7:

Great RAM, Sails Through Memtest and Runs at Rated Speed

Very happy with this RAM. Passed Memtest checks with zero errors, runs at the rated speed, and even comes with a Corsair CMXAF2 cooling fan.
One thing to watch is the memory height, as the cooling fins make the sticks taller than usual. The cooling fins are removable, however, if needed.

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO HONOR ON THEIR END !!!!!

I'll just let this link that was actually posted way back in Dec 19, 2006 help you understand how these people STILL conduct their OVERPRICED and NON-HONORING system !!!
[...]
It's entitled:
RITZ CAMERA. Unethical business practices. No communication with Customer. Call the Corporate Office - 949-442-0202
Here's what this person said:
"Coporate Offices of RITZ CAMERA on the West Coast: If you want to call and file a complaint - the number is 949-442-0202.
My husband and I ordered a Photoco PhotoShare 7 Portable Digital Photo Frame and a CD on Nov 27, 2006. We got a $20 discount by using Google Checkout. It's Dec 19 and we have yet to receive the item or notice that it is on backorder.
A day or two later, we ordered another identical digital photoframe from RitzCamera.com - the price had increased $20 in two days, negating the $20 discount by using Google Checkout. We received that photo frame within a week of the order.
I called to check on the first order during the week of Dec 11 and that is when I was told that the first order was on "backorder, and that the shipment should be arriving on Dec 15". I was instructed to call back on Dec 16/17 to check on the order.
As I said, I called this morning, and the first order is still on backorder. When I asked to speak to a manager, the young lady said there was no manager to speak with. I asked her if she was working from home or from a call center in India. She said "India". She told me that I could call the same 800 number and complain, and when I told her that there are no options to choose from and that I simply would be reconnected to a similar employee, she had nothing to say. I asked for a number to someone in the US that I could talk with about their business practices and she put me on hold. She came back a short time with the 800 number to the corporate offices of RITZ CAMERA on the West Coast: If you want to call and file a complaint - the number is 949-442-0202.
I believe these India employees do not tell the truth and that RITZ CAMERA has unethical business practices. I will not do business with them again."
MY STORY (ALTHOUGH DIFFERENT) WHEN IT CAME TO PROTOCOL, WAS EXACTLY THE SAME WITH THIS LACKLUSTER CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! But I'll take it a step further. The two people that you'll end up dealing with if you've been shafted and/or not taken care of is: Debbie Whitecotton or (the person ultimately over her), Vance Brown. These two winners did TWO things to me as a customer:
1) NOT HONORING what it was that I paid for and confirmed FOUR different times (with the "offices" in India) to make sure that I was going to receive the item (through the 877 number that is provided online as well as "live chat" to speak to a live person) that I paid for. I re-confirmed the price as it was almost 50% off. Mind you, I thought what I purchased was too good to be true. Go figure, once again I was correct. Not only was I NOT given the correct Corsair CMD12GX3M6A1600C8 Dominator 12GB 1600Mhz RAM that I purchased for $244.00, but they refused to give me the correct RAM that I paid for.
2) BLAMED directly by Vance Brown accusing me of trying to "get something for nothing." Mmmmm, I STILL DID PAY $244.00. Does that look like "nothing to you?". The reason why he said this to me was because he took what he heard from Debbie Whitecotton's story; not trying to correct himself by taking the time to understand the real story of what I ACTUALLY said to her !!! By now I think you tell that I'm a bit unhappy with being dissed the way I was. Oh well, I'm glad I do not treat MY customers with that kind of LACKLUSTER customer service.
I work hard to go by these TWO rules of thumb in our business:
RULE # 1) When the customer is wrong, THEY ARE RIGHT.
RULE # 2) When the customer is wrong, FOLLOW RULE #1 !!!
Now it may be painful at the time to follow that business practice, but at the end of the day that's the best policy to follow. Because if you DON'T, YOU GET REVIEWS LIKE THIS !!!!!
BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK !!! Too bad I did NOT find that review that was posted so long ago (the one that I posted - above - that was dated back Dec 19, 2006) until AFTER I went through this garbage. But it looks like it STILL applies to this situation today - June 10, 2010. Don't believe me, then just call 877-690-0099 and ask "Am I calling the corporate distribution offices HERE in the USA or am I calling an office in India?" You'll either receive some segwayed comment that won't give the answer that you're looking for or your question will be ignored and then that person will say (again) "how can I help you?" You MUST ask again the same question, and they usually answer it or if they don't, again, ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!
Especially at a time like this with what we're going through in our fiscal situation, this is NOT the time to DISS your customers in this fashion (like their ever is a good time to do that?). Let's see how much longer RitzCamera will be in business 2 to 3 years from now with their current customer service policies that they still hold on too, NOT HONORING and BLAMING, me the customer !!! I'M DONE !!!!! |
