Claim Form Deadline: October 28, 2025

Payout: Pro rata per eligible product

Proof required: No


If you purchased certain Corsair brand computer memory between January 14, 2018 and July 2, 2025 you might be owed cash from a $5,500,000 Settlement. The class action fund will provide pro rata (proportional) payments to eligible claimants who purchased covered Corsair desktop memory products and submit timely, valid claims by the final deadline of October 28, 2025.

Who Is Included?

You may be in the Corsair Memory Speed Settlement Class if you:

• Lived in the United States when you purchased a covered product, and
• Bought a Corsair desktop DDR4 memory product rated over 2133 MHz or a Corsair desktop DDR5 memory product rated over 4800 MHz (non-SODIMM/laptop), and
• Made the purchase between January 14, 2018 and July 2, 2025.

What Is This Case About?

The RAM class action lawsuit claims that Corsair advertised memory speeds as if they could be achieved immediately out of the box. In reality, users often needed to tweak BIOS or overclock settings to reach those speeds. Corsair denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.

How Much Can I Get Paid?

Payments come from the $5,500,000 Settlement Fund and are distributed pro rata based on the number of qualifying products claimed:

Without Proof of Purchase: You may claim up to 5 covered Corsair computer memory products per household.
With Proof of Purchase: You may claim more than five products if you provide proof upon request.

Actual payment amounts depend on the number of valid claims and administrative costs.

What Changes Will Corsair Make?

Corsair will take up efforts to update packaging, product pages, and reseller specifications to list rated speeds as “up to,” with text stating: “Requires overclocking/PC BIOS adjustments. Maximum speed and performance depend on system components, including motherboard and CPU.”
