Conclusion

Corsair offers a very good package, with two XMS 512MB memory modules, already tested by Corsair to run in Dual Channel mode. The RAM modules are very eye catching concealed in their black heat spreader, giving the impression of high quality memory. Corsair has made an excellent choice in using Samsung chipsets that are known for their great performance and overclocking abilities.

In all our tests, the Corsair XMS memory modules managed to outperform OCZ's EL Platinum DDR memory. It is reminded that the OCZ memory modules were already one of the best performing memory modules available on the market and we were amazed to see the Corsair modules achieving such good performance.

The Corsair XMS memory showed great overclocking potential, managing to overclock at 312MHz without worries while MemTest reported no problem and even the temperature of the modules stayed comparatively low.
