CORSAIR Vengeance 2 x 4GB DDR3 1600 $75 shipped

[HeavensCloud]

I was just browsing the Egg and noticed this, and bought some. This has very similar, if not the same specs as the Ripjaws that have been going on sale for a while.

I have the black kit already, picked up this kit to top my system off and match the slot scheme on my board. Excellent deal!

Thoughts on matching the Blue pair with a Black? -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145348

That's a completely different kit; but it should work at the slower settings of the Blue kit.

I have a feeling it's just going to look so stupid in my case, blue black blue

 

[IdiotInCharge]

Well, Blue/Black can't look any dumber than the Blue/White that's already on my board! Black modules look good in the white slots, so the Blue should fit in nicely*

I don't see the difference between the blue (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) version and the black (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) version, but I know it's there. Help me!

As far as I can tell it's just a different color. Corsair also says you can use black and blue, as long as the matched pairs are the same: http://www.corsair.com/blog/mixing-vengeance-black-and-blue-memory-kits/

I hate how 2x4gb kits don't scale in price from 2x2gb kits. This same RAM in a 2x2 kit was $20 AR last week.

If anyone bought these and wants to trade them for brand new ripjaws same exact model I'd be interested.

It's cheaper to get 2 4gb sticks individually at $30 apiece. See the other "vengeance" thread in this forum.

If you mean the 4gb black one, its actually 2x2gb. I got confused by the thread title as well.

yeah the other one is a 2x2gb.

I have the blue ones and they run great and pretty fast at 1600 in the rig in my sig
