I brought two sets of this 2x4GB memory for my new i5-2500k/Asus P8Z68-V PRO GEN3/Prolimatech Megahalems build and it's been perfect for me. Like a previous reviewer CAS says, the BIOS by default sets the memory speed to 1333 and you have to manually bump it to 1600. But after doing this I've had absolutely no problems.
I have to be honest, and say that getting 16 GB was probably overkill, but in a year or three maybe I will be using this memory so I've saved myself having to source similar memory modules and having to install them at some point in the future. But it's nice to have 16 GB anyway :-)
Other memory sticks have heat-sinks on with sticky up bits and all kinds of needless bling. This memory is low profile so fits under my heat-sink's fan and delivers the stability and performance I've come to expect from Corsair.

I have 2 sets of these and both work just fine at the target speed/latency using XMP profile. They look pretty good and they are small (there are tinier low profile OEM memory but without heatspreaders).
My only reservation is that 1333MHz is the fastest "standard/JEDEC" speed; if you have the BIOS set to Auto, you may find it runs at 1333 only. This is the case on my Intel board, you may expect it to use the XMP profile in Auto but it does not. You need to explicitly tell it to use the XMP profile and run at 1600.
I have other modules with 1600 in standard/Jedec and these ran at 1600 in Auto without choosing XMP profile in the BIOS.
For enthusiasts this is not a problem, but some people may not know that they need to select XMP profile to have the modules run at 1600. There are probably brand-name computers (Dell, Lenovo) that do not have such a setting.
NB. Blue/Black version are 1.5V rated; the white ones are 1.35V rated but not all boards may allow you to drop the voltage; many alow you to increase it over 1.5V but not decrease it. Doh!

Ran windows performance index on this it got 7.8.
The rest of my system is running at 8.2 so this is the lowest component in my system, it does the job just feel a bit disappointed as this isn't as fast as some other RAM on the market.

Cheaper that most main IT retailers
Does the job. Good timings for 1600 Mhz. 9-9-9-24. Cheaper that most IT retailers. And love the BLUE!
Go on and buy it, you will not loose out.

Perfect.
Scores 7.9 on Windows Rating, 8GB is plenty and it seems reasonably fast. What more could you want from Ram?

One module faulty
Corsair Vengeance is a great memory, it has a great looking heatsink. However, one of my modules was defective. It caused system instability (BSOD). Read more

Very good RAM for such a good price
I paid around £30 for these 2 sticks of RAM and I'm glad I chose them. They fit perfectly under my Corsair A70 cooler and are appropriate for all my games and general day to day... Read more

Caues BSOD !!!
As title says, this memory module causes Blue Screen Of Death!!! It's the first sign of a fault, which is not acceptable. Could just be the ones I had, but still not acceptable. Read more

Good performance.
Very good memory if you use it with i5 or i7. Very profile so you can fit any CPU cooler.
