Good for an upgrade or computer build. But, have had to send a couple back with errors. Corsair are very good at replacing them and give a lifetime warranty so you can take your time over testing them.
When you have installed them, it's best to run a Microsoft Memory Test (just type 'Memory' into the MS search box and click on the memory test app. When it come up click the top layer of hypertext. Your PC will restart and run the test).
If you ever get bad RAM, you will find your PC gives you a lot of BSODs (blue screen of death crashes).
The key to diagnosing bad RAM is that these crashes will be for many different reasons (i.e not just IQRL alert.. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check has a value of 0x0000000, but for all sorts of reasons). It is then best to download the USB version of MEMTEST86 (it's free). It comes with instructions and free software to make a bootable MEMTEST86 USB. Then test each stick of RAM in by itself in each RAM slot (to make sure its not a motherboard fault). MEMTEST86 will find any errors and you can raise a returns case at Corsair (takes about a week for them to send you new ones).
But hopefully yours will be faultless!
