I bought two of these drives last summer to go in a Highpoint Tech SSD7104 card. Mirrored pair. Mission critical application. One of them failed. Contacted Samsung about these failed drives. Was informed that Samsung will NOT do advanced replacements. Took several days to get to this...

Yes, I have documents proving all of this. Yes, it's Corsair. Corsair doesn't care. The latest is that the 'tech' says he won't do any more and closed the ticket.

If I were you, I'd look at performance monitor or task manager while running the apps in question to see if they are single threaded or multi threaded. I have a very different system (9900k) and I do a lot of CAD and some video editing. The CAD is mostly single threaded so for me, clock speed...

I have a Quadro M6000. Great cards, but lately it seems to be running pretty hot. It's 6+yrs old and I think the thermal paste is done. Darned if I can figure out how to get the card apart tho. Took all the screws out, but nothing is moving and I don't want to force anything. Googled it and...

The saga continues... Corsair LIED to American Express and they stole $700 from me. I have proof that the mangled ram was returned to Corsair, no one cares. Amex can't/won't do anything about it. So I got junk ram that won't run, I have been charged $700 by Corsair for RAM they won't...

Now Corsair has decided to NOT stand behind their warranty. They are leaving me totally in the lurch. NEVER will I buy from Corsair again

Have you run Memtest 86 on each stick? This is a slow process, but is the necessary first step. Reset your bios to default. Check in the manual which slot a single stick goes in. put one stick in there and run Memtest. Repeat on each stick. If you get any errors, you have found the problem...

This is quite the saga. It's hard to believe that Corsair is behaving like this. I suspect that in my next build I won't be using any Corsair products. To recap: The forced me to run memtest86 on all 4 sticks individually at 2400mhz, when they were obviously fine. On 128GB at slow mem clocks...

I have the 9900K and the H100i Pro Watercooling CPU and even the H110i is not enough if I take any high clock high voltage situation. I'm just stable at 5.0 ghz and 1.25V and temps are under control, anything over that and it overheats very quickly. I've had it booting and running at 5.2ghz...

Pull up your motherboard manual and check which slots you should put just a single chip in. Set your bios to default. Download and burn a usb stick with Memtest86 Boot to the usb stick with Memtest86 and allow it to run it's tests on that single stick. Repeat for however many sticks you have. 1...

The 980Pro is the new king of the castle. I have 970Pros in my workstation (built last summer) and they are really fast.

You could try going into bios timings and setting them manually...be prepared for a no-post. Maybe get lucky. If the ram isn't performing as advertised contact Corsair support and be prepared for getting the runaround. Good luck.

I'll say this for Corsair support (as I'm going thru their support channel on ram that will not reach it's advertised speed), they have not been helpful at all. First they made me Memtest each stick individually. That's 4 days of downtime. Now that it's past that they want me to send the ram to...

I don't see how you can get anywhere with the cooler you have. Gotta have water w/ this chip, it's just too hot. Applying XMP settings on my board will cause CPU to OC as well so yes, it will run hotter. I have a similar system for my 9900k, though I use the Asus Maximus XI and the Corsair...

I'm fighting one out right now with Corsair that won't do 3600 as advertised. There's a good tutorial (on my exact setup ) from someone much more experienced in this field than I which I followed and got mine from 3200 up to 3466 via oc settings. Still can't get 3600 and this is Corsair's top...
