Review: 26.10.20.I have two sets of the 8x2 kits . I've read some reviews and they state they can't get 3200 Mhz XMP that is probably because they haven't enabled dual channel mode.This is why you should always read the manual.As I'm using a R7 2700X on a Aorus Elite X570 (Rev 1.0).The following step is for AM4 boards only:Ram MUST be added in this order: A2 (always first), B2, A1, B1 (see uploaded image).I bought the first kit last year (6th October 2019) and the second kit this year (3rd Jun 2020) along with 2 other kits - 1 has been used in a B450 Mortar Max Build for a relative. The other I have kept as both a spare and upgrade kit for aforesaid relative - All 4 kits are the exact same.Ihave run the RAM on XMP at 3200 Mhz on a single set of 8x2 without any issues hence 3 more subsequent purchases of the exact same kit and version number. XMP always set the ram 1.35 volts and with the +0.030 it ends up at 1.380 volts... much too higher for my liking. The kits I've got - the two sets I've used have the same behaviour - perfectly happy at 1.280 volts.But using the XMP profile puts the ram at 1.35 volts and the motherboard adds a plus offset of 0.030 volts. So the ram ends up fluctuating between 1.38 volts and 1.35 volts, 99.9% of the time stuck 1.38 volts.. a tad too high for my liking as I plan to keep these RAM kits for a loooong time.Given that the memory controller is on the CPU and the infinity fabric is tied to the memory controller on Zen + (Plus Zen + CPUs are poor overclockers compared to Zen 2) I had to settle for 2733 Mhz with 4 x 8 (with a little loose timings) and any higher I will have to reduce the overclock the CPU or increase the voltage on the CPU and RAM to avoid memory errors. Additionally, any higher than 2933 Mhz on 4 sticks the latency penalty is quite noticeable, on 2 sticks is there is hardly any which is why it's always recommended to use XMP on two sticks.Additionally the RAM is also currently undervolted to 1.290 volts with a motherboard offset of +0.030 volts / -0.054 (this cannot be adjusted). On reduced loads motherboard drops it down to 1.236 volts (lowest I've seen).The R7 2700X is overclocked to 4050 All Core with a drastic undervolt, this gives both thermal headroom for sustained loads and very low idle temps with the Artic Freezer 34 Esports (single fan) - see hwinfo (current ambient temp 24.7 degrees celsius). Additionally, my room becomes too hot with stock or higher voltage and given last summer was extremely hot...You may wondering why is CPU VDDP18 is at 1.6 - that is the lowest I can set it in the BIOS and PM_1V8 at 1.6 volts, that is the lowest I can set without needing to clear the BIOS (default for both settings is 1.8 volts and that's perfectly normal apparently from what I found looking for the information I've come across on the web).I can overclock it higher but the ultimately the performance difference is not all that and there are stability issues albeit very few and far in between crashes but they are crashes never the less (see Cinebench results).During the past year of getting my PC to a point in terms of stability and peformance I have seen some bizzare things lol... See the last two screenshots.The motherboard automagically overclocked the CPU to 4261.89 and the ram to 3253 roflmao... I've seen this happen several times and I only had a usb stick plugged on two occassions hence only two screenshots.Yes, I'm aware I could have saved some money by getting slower sticks than 3200 and sticking them at 2733 and gotten tighter timings. For me that would be a waste of money as I plan to upgrade to Zen 2 or Zen 3 in the future and when I did I'd have have 32 gigs of ram lying around without much use as by then DDR5 will be out and there would be effectively zero demand for low speed DDR4s. So I'd be better off getting decent kits that can overclock decently and last me two or three CPU generations.All in all, these are decent kits - highly recommended.

This review is about the CORSAIR Vengeance LPX-16gb RAM 3000 Mhz (C15)These were coupled with an Ryzen 5 2600 and a MSI B450 Tomahawk. It worked greatly and without any problems, was easy to input into the motherboard and came packaged neatly and safely. It also looks good in your system with a black or white setup although it doesn’t come with RGB.This informational review is aimed for new PC builders. Therefore, if you are already knowledgeable in RAM there is no need to continue.1. (C15) refers to CAS Latency, which is how quickly your RAM responds to a command, you really won't see a difference at all between CL15 and CL16 although you will notice C15 is considerably more expensive as it is better in synthetic bench marks but you wouldn’t notice this in real world performance.Therefore get whichever one you want.2. Mhz refers to how fast the RAM performs. The speed of a computer processor, or CPU, is determined by the clock cycle. Computer processors can execute one or more instructions per clock cycle, depending on the type of processor. Therefore the higher Mhz the Ram outputs, the faster the RAM can perform tasks. (3000-3200Mhz is considered the sweet spot for mid-higher end workstation + gaming), any beyond this is overkill for your average needs and unecessary money spent.3. GB refers to Gigabytes: Some computer programs, especially Windows, uses RAM to swap frequently loaded programs back and forth, it makes the computer seem to run faster. Therefore in simple terms, the higher the GB the more tasks your system can perform at once before it starts slowing down your machine.Recap: What you want in your system for your needs1. Higher GB8GB is standard for workstation purposes and light gaming.16 GB recommended/a must for medium to higher end gaming.32 GB is for higher end computers, and unecessary unless you are doing a very heavy work load at once which requires it.(More GB = More tasks your machine can run at once)2. Mhz(3000-3200 is the sweet spot, nothing more is required unless necessary for your use).3. BrandBrands make their ram different. However Corsair is known for its tech, are very reputable and trustworthy, therefore they are a company you can depend on that make good quality products.4. (CAS Latency)Latency won’t be an issue, get which ever one is labelled cheaper as long as it has any of the above I mentioned.Happy building!

Even though my PC is a closed box, solid sides, I still wanted a spalsh of my signature colour inside the white case with predominantly black components! Don't be put off by some of the pictures you see of this that make it look like a flat, dull red. These sticks of RAM are like a sparkly candy-apple red, as shown in some photos of it installed.Other than that, er, yeah, it's RAM. A few things for you to consider thought when buying RAM:1. What will your CPU actually support? A core i7 9700 (like I have) will only take advantage of 2666MHz. You can use faster RAM like this, but the gains for Intel are marginal.2. Faster RAM doesn't necessarily mean better. Aside from capacity,RAM also comes with a couple of other key numbers. Speed (3200MHz in this case) and latency (C16 in this case). You need to consider both, and there is a formula for it (assuming dual channel here):latency/speed*2000 = 16/3200*2000 = 10nanosecondsIf you do the maths, you'll see that 15/3000*2000 also equals 10 nanoseconds. So, you'll often find that faster ram has slightly worse latency, which broadly balances out. So why buy faster if slower can ultimately perform the same on paper? More bandwidth - simple as that. For a given latency, yes, more MHz is better, and you are always better off getting as much bandwidth as you can afford, but, you'll find that high speed and low latency starts to get very expensive very quickly and for marginal gains (read, bragging rights).It also depends on what you are using your PC for as to what to get. For gaming, you aren't going to get much benefit from super-fast RAM and using more than 16GB of it. There's always a performance/benefit curve with PCs and components, and the best PCs are those that use components in good balance.

So even as an experienced PC builder, I made a fairly critical error when buying this memory. Nothing that damaged the system or anything. Hell, it didn't even fail to boot. The memory itself installed perfectly fine and the system posted without an issue.Upon booting into Windows though, I noticed the memory was running at only 2133MHz which is quite a bit lower than what I paid extra for. Figured the motherboard just didn't detect the higher speed. Not entirely uncommon. So I went into the UEFI Bios and enabled the XMP profile which automatically detected the memory, adjusted the voltage, etc. Promising stuff. That was until I saved and restarted the computer.It failed to post three times before dipping into safe-mode.Mind you I'm using a Prime X70-Pro, so I decided to check the QVL for the board and was disappointed to see it wasn't listed under Ryzen 2nd Gen support. Massive oversight on my part. Fortunately Amazon is cool about returning it for a kit supported by the motherboard, but I'm writing this on the off chance I could save someone else the hassle.Long story short: Check your motherboards QVL for compatibility with the CPU you're planning on installing in it. The system will absolutely boot and run perfectly fine. But if you're paying the extra premium for 3200MHz memory and the board doesn't support it, you're literally throwing your money away.Again, for clarification. Nothing was physically wrong with the memory and I whole heartedly admit this was a mistake on my part. I'm only posting this to hopefully save someone else the inconvenience of my rookie mistake.

I upgraded from 8GB of RAM which was perfectly adequate to 16GB and felt I should brag about it. However I now feel that anything less than 16GB in 2019 is having to compromise. I have two spare slots so I should buy another pair of these really.What is RAM actually used for in a PC? If you check the RAM actually in use it's likely that it will show you have a lot available. However there is a difference between Available and Free. To use an analogy you might be doing house hold chores but if your friends turn up as say come with us we're going to feed bread to the ducks you'd be Available. The job you were doing can wait.With the RAM in your PC it could be helping speed up the file system but if the RAM is needed elsewhere the file system can look after itself.Free RAM is that which has absolutely nothing to do and would be used first if there was something to do. You want your computer to have free RAM to ensure that the file system and other things that benefit can have some RAM to themselves. When a process requires RAM it can take it from the Free RAM.You only get this situation if you have far more RAM than you absolutely need. If you want your computer to be fast you want your RAM to be helping the file system run fast. If a new process has to ask some RAM to save it's contents to your hard drive then you're going to notice that because you'll be waiting for it. Any time your computer is making you wait then it's not good enough.

Purchased 2x8GB 3000MHZ sticks ( Corsair CMK16GX4M2C3000C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB) which cost me a whopping £199 and some change. Memory was bought alongside a new Ryzen 1700 and ROG STRIX x370 -F MOBO, to build a new system with. Imagine my horror when, on initial boot up, my brand new motherboard reported this memory as 2133MHZ! Arrrgh. Anyway, knowing from many years of experience NOT TO PANIC, I duly panicked. But here's the upshot of my story just in case others may have similar issues. Step one was to upgrade my MOBO BIOS, as you do. This gave me many more options for memory settings including the 3000MHZ option. Great, I thought. Now just set it to correct rating and away you go, right?Well,no actually. It appeared regardless of memory settings used the system was unstable and would blue screen on Windows, or lock up on Linux. Of course, this was all intermittent and random, but I was pretty sure it was a memory issue, in spite of memory now being correctly set. Long story, short. Only when I over-clocked my memory to 3200MHZ did the system become rock solid! Yeah, crazy I know, but there you go. So, I know it wouldn't be the first thing to try, but maybe if your memory isn't playing nicely and all else fails. It may be worth a try. The memory itself seems solidly made, if rather expensive. Oh, last thing to mention, I only purchased this memory recently so I will update if things change.

There isn't much you can say about this stuff really. It does what it's supposed to do. At the moment it's great value for money and is about the best price/performance for intel 7 and 8 series systems.There are other, different frequency RAMS, but offset by worse timing and higher prices so overall tiny performance increases at higher cost. If you really want the next step up, another two percent performance, then you have to increase your spend by 20% or so and buy 3200Mhz CAS 14.Do remember that there is no guarantee that this will work at the advertised settings in your PC. This is not a limitation of the RAM, rather of your PC. The default setting for the RAM is 2133,and every system will run at that speed but the moment you go above that frequency the rest of your system may well fail. To try full speed you need to enable XMP in the BIOS. If that doesn't work then it's down to you to tweak the settings until you find some that works. No guarantees. Series 7 is guaranteed to work at 2133 and series 8 at 2666, but most will work at 3200. 3000 and 3200 are popular and performance difference between them is pretty much unmeasurable so just buy which is cheaper.On XMP I discovered my motherboard was going just a bit high on the voltages so I actually set everything up manually and slightly lowered the voltage. In fact it was 100% happy at 1.3V.

I have used Corsair RAM for years and they have always performed great. In terms of low profile RAM, you won't find better and in most cases you won't need to be concerned about RAM clearance if using a large CPU Cooler. I'm using the Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 cooler and had no issues.As a first time builder, I have learned so much about each of the required components, including RAM. Apologies for any misinformation and I'm talking to the first time/inexperienced builder but from my understanding, stock speeds for all DDR4 RAM is 2133 Mhz or 2400 Mhz and to achieve the advertised speeds e.g. 3200 Mhz, you need to boot into the BIOS/UEFI, locate XMP (Extreme Memory Profile)settings and manually change the clock speeds to whatever the advertised speed of your RAM is (or higher if you want to experiment with increased clock speeds), reboot and you're good to go.I think some of the negative reviews here might be from those who are unaware that these clock speeds must be changed manually or maybe I'm misinterpreting. Hopefully this will be of help to someone who, like me, was not aware of this. I've have had zero issues with the RAM and might consider further increasing the clock speeds once I become more knowledgeable on the subject. Overall, I'm a very happy customer and would gladly recommend Corsair RAM.

Low profile 3200mhz DDR4 in a sexy looking shiny black heatsink.....Whats not to like???. Ok other than the price, but the form factor is nice and tidy and I haven't had any issues with them running at full speed in my Skylake build which is over 6 months old now and has been absolutely hammered gaming for all that time at ultra settings. Based on my previous experiences with this brand I don't expect any problems either. In short I highly recommend this RAM, I doubt you'll notice any real performance gains by the RAM itself as I would expect most sticks to be installed on new builds for the Skylake platforms (core i5 6600 or i7 6700 processors, Z / H170 chipsets etc.).These are therefore likely to be used in the first gen DDR4 builds so upgrading isn't likely to be what these are being bought for yet. However they will compliment a shiny new build perfectly and the build as a whole should have better performance over previous generation platforms, Be aware that some motherboards can't support the clock speed and the XMP has to be enabled in the EUFI bios for them to work at there best. They will default down to a lower speed if not enabled or supported in this way but will still work ok albeit a little slower (2333 mhz usually).

Right, so I ordered two of these and there was an issue with them. First things first, they come from different manufacturers.I'm not an expert (geek) but I managed to have a look in specs with CPU-Z. It works fine with XMP, improves the system a lot, for cheap. The look nice, I have the black model. Both in system (2x8GB) improved my PUBG experience and made the game smooth. overall my system runs smooth now..now the problem:they have at least two manufacturers which are Samsung and Micron.first one I got was from Micron and second one from Samsung.Micron, is fire. works really good.Samsung burned out after one week or so.You can see the manufacturer in software (CPU-Z).My system was freezingalone and after a while I couldn't even turn on system without taking that RAM module off (Samsung one).But, Amazon gives an excellent assistance so I managed to ask a return. they sent me a new one straight away and now I just need to send the defective one back by post and I think it's all for free.. in this case I just need to pay for a bag/box and sent it.Anyways, the product is really really good. If your PC freezes after you installed them in the space of two or three weeks start by checking RAM modules and manufactuer.

This is our second PC build, previous build was centered around the i7 and Asus 970 Strix in SLI it was a beast of a PC.So after a few years, a few issues and lack of supporting spares, cheers motherboard manufacturers for constantly changing the pin amount, we have built a new pc based on the ROG B450 F, the AMD 3600x and the 2070 super.The build was simple, the setup easy and installation a doddle. We have used Artic silver for thermal transfer, which reduces temperatures enough to allow use of the stock fan, note.. the supplied fan with the AMD is not the light up as advertised.The windows installation was straight forward and bios was up to date to accept the components we were installing.Visit manufacturer websites for the Gucci software and ensure your drivers are up to date.Now, I’m not one for tech specs but I will say “beast” that is the computing performance, graphical look and output and I mean solid, it looks amazing, is very quiet,(make sure the AMD fan is secure to the stops) and keeps cool. (We have made use of the extra fan ports and some splitters, running about eight cooling fans.All in all a monster PC that cost about £1000, which is not bad.

I used this ram in a workstation that I built with the Ryzen 1800x over a year ago. At that time I could only get it to run at 2866, even after numerous bios updates on my MSI motherboard. There were a few times I got it to run at 3200 but not stable. Fast forward to last month when my computer starts crashing and memtest shows one of my sticks as faulty. Corsair provided the best RMA experience I have ever had. Via advanced replacement, they sent me a new set of ram before I sent the faulty set to them. I had to pay for the replacement ram but I was quickly reimbursed and not even questioned about my faulty ram. It was a breath of fresh air to not have to prove to an RMA department that their product does not work only to have it sent right back to you on your dime.On top of that, they sent me Samsung B-die sticks to replace my Hynix ones. Lo and behold I can now clock my ram at 3200.So while one of the sticks of ram went bad, Corsair's customer support was amazing, and I am now a corsair customer for life. This is why this product deserves 5 stars.

the start of 2018 was something special for me. i had acquired enough money to finally get into building my own rig. and going from a i3 540 @ 3.02GHz | 4GB of ram and a GT640. this was the biggest upgrade to date and with the arrival of 8th gen intel processors the i5 seemed like a good entry point.my build was originally meant to beintel i5 8600k8GB RAMNvidia GT780 (gifted by caring community member)Corsair 750m PSUand just 3 months in with the 8GB of ram 1 stick had failed on me. noticing that i was caping out on ram super quick upon start up as well as in games performance had crippled. i might have just got a bad batch or something but no harm overall to the PC.i upgraded 2x8 sticks as ram prices started dropping and inventory was quickly running out. and have had the new sticks for nearing 9 months now. and its all great and dandy.no complaints other than the value for money which at the time for me was quite expensive compared to what its at now. but hey you win some you lose some. either way im happy with how things have turned out!

Corsair is, perhaps, the most famous brand of RAM stick, and rightly deserved.These bad boys came up as the perfect trade-off between performance and price at the time of my research, and no doubt they'll hold up for years to come.I was so pleased with the find that I bought two! Really, two packs of two, for four total RAM sticks, which my motherboard indeed accommodates as I type this. Honestly, 32GB is very excessive for my needs, but I figured that I was aiming to make this PC build long-lasting, and therefore I should buy the RAM sticks now which I would need perhaps ten years from now (since it is advisable, for compatibility, that all RAM sticks in one system have the same make and model,and I made it the exact same product in the exact same purchase transaction - though the serial numbers are off by a couple thousand (which goes to show the incredible popularity of these RAM sticks, I suppose)).If this product fails earlier than seems -by my personal approximation- reasonable, then I will update this review.
