Confused with Corsair kit difference.

AWBbox · 8 Sep 2009 at 08:02

I will be re-building my rig at the end of the year and I am considering what RAM to choose. However, I am struggling to see any difference between these two Corsair 6Gb kits:

Except for that fact that one kit is £42 more expensive that the other. Can anyone please explain how they differ?

Cheers!

Cant see anything to justify that £42 increase myself.

Give the shop a call/web note. Might just be an error.

i *think* one of those (more expensive one) is the new kits with the revised chips / fixed issues.

One states it's with the airflow fan, the other doesn't. The picture used is the same though.

They both state that they include airflow fans actually. Revised chips would make sense though. I've sent a webnote so we'll find out for sure soon

The part number for the cheaper kits (CMG6GX3M3A2000C8) relates to the revised chips/fixed version.

Oh cool, so the cheaper option is actually likely to be the better of the two?

It is less likely to fail.

CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 is the new ones as i had a set of these.
