Just a little warning to those who purchase corsair rams. I just bought 2 pieces of corsair DDR 2 1 gig rams. After using cpuid and siw programmes to analyze the rams i got to know that one of the in a 533!!! i took thing a step further by keying in the ram type code on the ram modules itself in google...yes..they are 533's. Just view my pictures that i have attached. key in the ram code 64m8cedg see the result. Take care...

Where you bought it?
got ask for exchange too..
stupid shops cheat ppl money

wait a minute, are really sure that you are actually bought a DDR2 533 instead of DDR2 667 or, is it which i'm suspecting that, it's your fault...

* edit *

saw the 1st pic... it's DDR2 667, i think mislabel, you can always changela...

u bought from a forumer?

wrote this just to get the public to be careful.

erm..can always change the ram anyway...but later, must be careful to buy the ram from the shops....

list out the shop, so we could be careful

maybe it's not the shop fault?
cause if not mistaken,the label cant change mah,the label must have the scar after peeling one mah....
anyway,if dannot change,then oc to 667 lo....

Are u settle down with the seller yet? Maybe u have to make them check in front of u b4 make a buy.

as in my case, the receipt state i bought a KVR DDR2 533. but when check with everest, the memory actually 667...

just OC the ram to 667 la

lucky a$$
it's consumer rights.
Why should we oc to make it 667?
We could also oc from 667 to 800 wert.
It's not fair

probably its mislabeled in the factory (it happens a couple of time with corsair, read it somewhere).. RMA it then

You paid extra money for DDR 533 then go overclock it to 667?

Just go back to the shop and change it back la. It's consumer rights.

hell yea

got my cash refund...i bought it from a forumer. he was apologetic for the mistake.

yeah, customer always right

If the label is like that, then i think it is corsair's mistake..

wat is ur proc?

I think it is the problem from the supply side. Maybe mislabelling.

yar lol~ corsair mistake...u should complain to them directly aka distro....bad packaging lol...!!

The chips itself is not relevant ler...

Take this screenshot in CPU-Z ... see if got SPD table for 333 or not ler. Simple.

Dont accept his apology
sue him 4 cheating on purpose ...like that can get more money ma

Most probably it's manafacture problem, since it's a product sold by forumers.
If there are fraud cases, those buyers would be complaining at Trade Zone Helpdesk & Dispute Resolution Corner.
Reporting to National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC)?
it's manafacture problem what.
If the seller is trying to scam ts, he would need to tear out the label and paste on another 1. And that action would be visible on the box.
It's only manafacturer problem, why want to make so big for?

I wonder what board are you using,
and,
do you set the correct timing for the RAM ?

coustamer alwez right!

well at least the seller apologize. not the seller fault actually. maybe himself also don't know.

wah.... you can do that but it's unethical action. not recommended

Just get a refund and you're done.You have customer's rights ya know.
