Corsair is under fire following a class action lawsuit claiming that the speeds of various DDR4 and DDR5 RAM kits were exaggerated. The company has agreed to pay $5.5 million to customers who purchased these products in the USA between January 14, 2018, and July 2, 2025.

The allegations state that Corsair promoted RAM speeds under XMP (Extended Memory Profiles), rather than the standard JEDEC specifications, misleading consumers about the default operating speeds. According to the settlement, anyone who bought a Corsair DDR4 product rated over 2133 MHz or a DDR5 product rated over 4800 MHz in the specified timeframe may be entitled to compensation.

Key Points:

• No Proof of Purchase Required: Claimants without proof may receive compensation for a maximum of five products.
• Settlement Terms: Corsair will not admit wrongdoing, but the settlement includes adjustments to how they advertise RAM speeds going forward. Future listings must clarify that maximum speeds require overclocking.
