The Corsair class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on July 2, 2025. The deal covers anyone in the U.S. who, between January 14, 2018 and July 2, 2025, bought at least one Corsair DDR-4 or DDR-5 DRAM (non-laptop) memory stick with rated speeds of 2133 MHz or 4800 MHz, respectively.

The court-approved website for the Corsair Gaming settlement can be found at DDR4AndDDR5DesktopMemorySpeedSettlement.com.

Corsair settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will be able to receive a pro-rata, or equal-share, portion of the $5.5 million settlement fund based on the number of qualifying purchases of Corsair RAM sticks they made.

Class members may submit a claim form without proof of purchase for a maximum of five qualifying purchases per household. Consumers who bought more than five covered products must provide proof of purchase upon request, the settlement website states.

To submit a claim form online, class members must visit this page and log in with the unique notice ID and confirmation code found in their copy of the settlement notice.

Alternatively, a PDF of the claim form is available to print, fill out and mail back to the address listed at the bottom of the first page.

All Corsair Gaming settlement claim forms must be submitted or postmarked by October 28, 2025.

A hearing is scheduled for January 8, 2026 to determine whether the settlement will receive final approval from the court. Payments will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Corsair Gaming class action lawsuit claimed that the company falsely advertised the out-of-the-box speeds of its DDR-4 or DDR-5 DRAM non-laptop memory sticks as faster than the speeds at which they actually operated. According to the lawsuit, getting the Corsair memory sticks to run at their advertised speeds required a consumer to “overclock” their computer’s firmware, which comes with substantial risk and may not be successful in achieving the advertised speed.

“Corsair has made tens of millions of dollars (or more) by deceptively advertising its high-speed memory products," the lawsuit alleged.

The class action settlement website states that the deal also requires Corsair Gaming to make “commercially reasonable efforts” to implement changes to product packaging, website product pages and specifications provided to resellers for the covered RAM sticks.
