Corsair TWINX1024-4400 Memory Review - Specifications
(Page 2 of 6 )
Here are the specifications from Corsair’s website:
1024 MegaBytes of memory
Two matched CMX512-4400 modules
Dual channel testing environment, Tested at DDR550 (275 MHz) on an Asus P4C800-E Canterwood motherboard
Tested and packaged in pairs
Packed together immediately following a successful system test
Tested at JEDEC-standard latency settings (3-4-4-8) for optimal memory bus speed
Test voltage: 2.75 volts
Benchmarked using both Athlon and Pentium based platforms
Thermally bonded heatspreaders
Lifetime warranty.
Additionally, the TWINX1024-4400 modules are currently being manufactured using Hynix D5 memory chips (not mentioned in Corsair’s website). Hynix D5 chips have been building a good reputation lately, known for reaching high bus speeds without having to pump 3+ volts to the modules. It is worth noting that Corsair mentions on their website that this may change in the future if better memory chips become available.
Legendary Corsair reliability and service
This last bullet may sound like marketing propaganda, but with my years of overclocking and system building experience, this means a lot. I have seen some memory manufacturers not answer support emails, not honor their warranties, post fixed reviews of their products on websites they discretely own, and companies send one type of memory to websites for review while selling inferior memory modules marked as the better memory the websites reviewed. Corsair is a company that you will never hear these types of stories about. I personally have RMA'd a stick of memory to Corsair that was nearly two years old. Since they no longer sold the memory I sent in, they sent me their newer product. I have also seen the RAM Guy in the Corsair support forums go way out of his way to make sure the buyers of Corsair memory are happy with their purchase. Sadly, there are few companies that value their customers as much as Corsair does.
