Any reason why GeIL not Corsair ?

I have had good results with both Geil and OCZ but mixed results with Corsair. This is just my personal experience building on ASUS motherboards. Both of the above will run at over 1600MHz at 1.5V 9-9-9-27. If you want tighter timings, the corsair cas 8 may suit otherwise there is little difference and it is a question of personal choice.
