I purchased CORSAIR CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R Vengeance Pro Red 16GB 2x8GB 240P DDR3 2400MHZ RAM modules. However, the modules are extremely poorly built. They're built to sell, but not to perform. eg. the heat spreader plates are GLUED to the electronic chips by a silicone-like adhesive material, and on a thin volatile layer of foam which traps the heat in rather than let it out causing chips to overheat and prematurely expire! That's not how heatspreaders should be attached! it's bogus. They became unglued one by one. The memory modules don't perform as intended. Instead of 16GB my bios see 8GB. Although each module works individually as 8gb together they fail. I called the motherboard company (Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z) and I was told that these memory modules are NOT compatible to run on that motherboard despite declared specifications. Now I can see why. I tried contacting Corsair's warranty service. I gave them exactly the same message that's above. I also explained to them that I would like to publish about this issue unless if it's resolved. And this is the response I got from them:
"Unfortunately buying from third parties on eBay would not grant you any warranty through us, please contact the vendor for an exchange.
-Art"
Hence they don't take responsibility when it comes to warranty services and will find an irrelevant excuse to disqualify warranty!
Another names for Corsair memory modules that are poorly built and sold online that one should stay away from:
