I bought these rams to replace my Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black.
They have an excellent performance. You will see that when your computer needs to load a big amount of data during game play.
This memory kit would be your best, and latest choose (with Asus p8z77-v Premium motherboard) if you dont want to overclock your processor and memory, but you still want to have a faster rig with bigger ram. Im saying this because to make use higher clocked ram, you will need to increase voltage for ram controller, what will decrease your computer life time.
To make this ram work in bios setting you may need to change your memory profile from Auto to X.M.P. Save and Exit
If you restart your computer and you experience that your system is not booting, or get frozen, press reset, turn of computer, and press CMOS button on motherboard. This will clear your CMOS.
After that go to bios and change again the memory profile from auto to X.M.P. Save and Exit
Now after computer restart when you go to bios you should see your 32 Gb ram with 1866 Mhz clock.
The only cons I found:
1. To make fit this ram under my processor cooler I have to manually remove the heat spreaders. With this I void the warranty and I risked to damage the chipset on the ram.
2. To start the computer often takes an extra 3 second longer.
