My experience with Corsair


Recommended Posts

This is by far one of the worst ram companies ever. I have got nothing but crap from you guys. I have a 1 gig of Corair Pc3200 ram, after awhile, not being overclocked or messed with I started getting errors. So I come on these forums to request for an RMA, I get my RMA number and I send it back to you guys, I sent it Priority 2 Day shipping, seeing as I live in California, same as Corsair it should get their in no time. About A month passed, nothing ! I had my friend contact Corsiar and they said they still had not received the package, in 2 days I had a package from Corsair, With my sam Ram in it ! I guess it passed your tests. Thats why I get Crashes to the desktop and memory errors in windows. It still doesn't pass memtest. I am very mad, I spent my money on this ram, Beleiving you cared - and my ram has a lifetime warranty, and you guys don't see that ? I will never buy corsair again, and I beleive that you guys have caused me more trouble than the rams worth. I am down 150$ because of you, and I can barely do anything on my PC.

I hope you guys go Bankrupt - Careless jerks

What testing methodology did you use to determine that the memory was at fault?

 

Did you happen to start a thread on these forums about the issue you were having with the memory to start with?

I dont want help, I am making a complaint . Help is me buying new ram, because corsair sucks. I know the rams at fault when I get crashes to the desktop, sometimes with "Error Memory cannot be read" and when the ram doesn't pass Memtest or Prime95. And when replaced with other modules it works fine (tested my friends ram). I am Stating that I had a bad run in with Corsair- and if they cared about their customers they would read this and try to fix something or make me happy.

My objective in asking was to get that additional information in this thread so that when Corsair looks at it, it is clear.

 

The fact that not only did Memtest and Prime95 have issues but that other memory work eliminates everything but the memory.

 

So, all that is left is to get your problem sorted.

 

Sorry for intruding on the topic.

Demolitionman,

Is this the memory and system you previously mentioned?

 

Memory: 2 x VS512MB400

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-7N400 Pro2

CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500+

 

At the time of testing, what were your memory timings set to? I realize that the other sticks work fine with whatever settings they are ATM, however I just want to list all the facts to expidite it all.

First thing, I am sorry that you are upset, but all RMA's are replaced with new memory, no exceptions! So if you got the same modules back there is likely some problem with the package you sent or it was never received by us, and USPS just returned the package to you. However, our hours are 8:30 AM - 5:30PM Monday-Friday excluding holidays and our # is 888-222-4346 and just dial "0" that will take you too customer Service and I am sure that we will do what we can too help you get this resolved.

Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings;

VS1GBKIT400 or VS512MB400

Advanced Chipset Features (Ctrl + F1)

CPU Clock: 166 MHz

Memory Frequencylock: 100%

Resulting Frequency: 166 MHz

Configure Dram timing by SPD: Disabled/User define

SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T

SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T

SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T

SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 8T

Frequency Voltage Control

CPU Freq: 166

Memory or Dim Reference voltage: 2.7/2.75 Volts (+.2)

AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI 9200 or 9600 then 1.6 Volts suggested!*

All other settings should be set to default settings!

Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure!

Demolitionman, I have deleted your recent posts. Ram Guy and myself can still see them, however the general public cannot. DO NOT post ANYTHING like that again. Have you ever heard the phrase "you'll get more with honey than vinegar"?

 

What I'm saying is that cursing like crazy won't help anything. FYI, because they are not open on the weekends, you will not see a reply until Monday, however I'll see if Ram Guy is willing to interrupt his well deserved time off to answer this thread. Regardless of your attitude, Corsair will help you because of their lifetime warranty, however if I were in Ram Guy's shoes, I wouldn't bother wasting my precious time off to answer you until Monday. Granted, a lot of the intriguing language in your posts can probably be attributed to frustration, however some simply cannot.

 

Update: Check your PMs Demolitionman.

Demolitionman,

Those posts were not called for at all, and I gave you the phone# for customer Service, Did you call them?

I would suggest you call them on Monday after 8:30AM and we willbe happy to replace your module/'s.

Based on your posts, you have been limited to what you can do.

However, our hours are 8:30 AM - 5:30PM Monday-Friday excluding holidays and our # is 888-222-4346 and just dial "0" that will take you too customer Service and I am sure that we will do what we can too help you get this resolved.
