Conclusion

As usual, we finalise the article by weighing what you get in comparison to what you pay. According to geizhals.at, the sets of CMY8GX3M2B2933C12R, just like ours, currently retail for more than 300 euros.
Which is a lot knowing that you only get 8 GB of memory in return. Surely, some applications do not require high volumes of memory, but if speed is what you’re after, then you won’t be getting 300 euros worth of it either. As these modules are single-sided, they will be slower at the same clocks and timings compared to dual-sided counterparts hence the extra clocks will not pay any dividends. And because Corsair have employed high-density (4Gbit) chips to build these modules, some of the secondary timings, such as tRFC, must be set looser in comparison to modules using chips of lower density (2Gbit) thus leaking more performance.
What you actually get for your money are the looks, the bragging rights and a fancy pirate logo. Not much, but then again, specific things matter to specific people.

Award

Overall, we rate the 2x4GB set of Vengeance Pro 2933 CL12 at 3 stars out of possible five.
