Looking to build my first system using the Dominator ram, but have read some reviews that said it stops working after a while, is this true? If so what ram should I consider/If not should I be looking at other ram for the same price?

btw mobo is Asus P5Q3 S775 P45 with the Intel E8500 CPU
 
Solution
Corsair Dominator is their top of the line Ocing RAM derived from the highest binned chips Corsiar is able to aquire. Coorsiar is not a RAM maker, but distributor who uses chips Manufactured from Micron for example for their Dominator line. I would think RAM 'dies'due to being used by enthusiasts who overvolt in order to achieve higher Ocs. Corsair has a limited lifetime warranty. Run the MB through some RAM configurators and see what's available. Micron is Crucial's parent company. The same company that produces the chips Corsair uses for their Dominator line.

Your question was if I had an opinion between 2 Gskill kits. No, I have no opinion on their memory.

It's extremely bad etiquette for me as a Corsair representative to come into a thread suggesting Corsair after you have clearly posted that you want to buy another brand. It may even also be a violation of forum rules.

If you want a recommendation for Corsair memory, our Dominator series is always a great option. If you want extreme OCing, go for the GT series.
