Corsair can’t even make reliable ram. This is likely to go poorly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

First of all their RAM is perfectly fine, and secondly using RAM in an attempt to prove how a game controller is less complicated seems odd.

I've been overclocking Corsair ram for over a decade. I think if there was any complaint it's that they're way overpriced.

I also used it for half a decade and had 4/6 sticks of RAM fail. When I contacted support, I had tor request a manager escalation to get past the engineer who insisted it was a problem with my windows installation. I run Linux and tested it with memtest86+.

Corsair makes bad products. Your brand loyalty is embarrassing.

[–] skullone 2 points 7 months ago

I am not loyal to the brand, I think they offer mid level quality for way too much cost. I think a one off anecdote is not data driven testimony. But to bucket any single anecdote with no other comparison is unfair. I was merely offering a differing experience.

I have only been buying Corsair ram for over a decade. I overclock both on the desktop and my laptops.

Never had a problem. Bulletproof.
