Corsair Vs512mb400c3
Today we will look at some memory from the Corsair valueselect product line. We found this stick of 512 mb memory
pretty cheap at newegg and decided to take a look at how it performs and also compares to the really fast low latency memories
we have tested before.
About Corsair:
Our flagship memory products are the XMS (Xtreme Memory Speed) modules which are designed for the unique demands of the serious gaming community. The XMS memory line has become the industry's most highly awarded memory, garnering more rave reviews and Number One rankings than any other performance memory available today.
Our ValueSelect line of desktop memory brings our quality and compatibility standards to cost-effective products for today's most popular desktops.
In addition, we offer a large range of ultra-reliable server memory and memory for laptops and OEM desktop systems.
Recently, Corsair has expanded beyond the memory field in a unique collaboration with Delphi, the world’s largest manufacturer of liquid-based cooling systems. Our flagship cooling product is HydroCool200, an extreme water cooling system for performance PCs.
The product was very nicely packed and as we can see it clearly states this is value select memory which
comes for a cheap price but still has great performance. On the back we can find some statements that other review sites have
made about Corsair products.

As we can see the memory is not equipped with any kind of heatsink to cool it off. But I think we should still try some overclocking
and see what we can push out of this.
Testing:
AMD XP 2600+
Albatron KX18D Pro2
Corsair Vs512mb400c3
Antec PSU and case
XFX FX5200
Testing was done with Aida32, Sisoft Sandra 2004, and Pcmark2004. Testing was done against Corsair Twinx10243200LL
memory running as a single channel.
Aida32:
The Twinx is faster but it also cost about 4 times more to buy.
We can still see though that the slower Corsair ram performs very well. Lets check out some Sisoft Sandra 2004 benchmarks.
