If I'm not mistaken, Corsair RAM is effectively rebadged memory chips
with shiny heatspreaders. There is a possibility, albeit scant, that
you can deduce the true manufacturer (often Samsung or Winbond for such
"generic" modules) and appeal to them for a replacement.
Incidentally, how do Corsair identify the original purchaser? Do they
track the chips by serial number? Do they demand a receipt from their
own online store?
