Corsair CMX6GX3M3A1600C9
$83.99
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Lifetime manufacturer warranty. Looks good - has a well designed heatsink. Runs great at 1600MHz - works as advertised.
The Cons:Limited compatibility - won't work with all DDR3-compatible motherboards. Might require users to adjust a BIOS setting in their motherboard to get the DIMMs to run at full speed. Expensive - costs more than competing DDR3 memory sticks.
The Corsair CMX6GX3M3A1600C9 is a kit with 3 memory modules designed to work on triple channel systems. This is similar to the Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9, with the same actual modules used, but in this case you get 3 of them.

These are guaranteed to work on all triple channel Intel systems, providing a total of 6 Gigabytes of memory. Overclocking is part of the design, and has been tested at 1.65 volts to achieve a 1600MHz clock with a 9-9-9-24 latency. Heat generated from overclocking is handled by built-in XMS heat spreaders, which draw heat up and away from the chip and motherboard. For less heat generation and lower power consumption, the chips can be set at 1.5 volts for a 1333MHz clock.
