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.

Purchased on: 21st of November 2018Delivered on: 22nd-24th of November 2018 (I believe it was either the 22nd or 23rd - It was FAST)Seller: Amazon EU S.a.r.LPrice: £57.07 (I wish I could return it to buy it again at the current price of <£40)EDIT: 30/05/19 -I bought ONE 8 GB stick ONLY because I knew, shortly down the line, I would add another of the same model to get Dual Channel (I only have a B250M-HDV Micro-ATX with 2 DIMM slots (where your RAM goes))IF your motherboard supports Dual Channel and has TWO or more DIMM slots, it's recommended to GET TWO 4 GB sticks rather than ONE SINGLE 8 GB stick.If your motherboard only has 2 DIMM slots like the B250M-HDV does, you could use a similar method to me,

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,

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,

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 freezing

I got the 16gb (2x8) 3000mhz kit as an upgrade, as I was previously on 8GB RAM clocked at 2133mhz when I originally built my PC. Whilst my current mobo doesn't go over 2133mhz (unless in XMP for 2400 I think, I leave it off anyway), the dual channel support is still there. Overall, even though I've only used this new kit for half a day, they are very smooth and much better than the 8gb I was on.Before, when I was playing games such as Battlefront 2 or Black Desert Online, I would suffer huge stuttering when in areas with a lot going on, due to the nature of the games, however I'm able to play them just fine now with the extra 8gb of RAM compared to before, even if I'm not fully utilizing the speeds offered by the sticks.

This RAM stick is lightening fast. Totally brilliant and one of the best in the market for high end gaming. This is for a gaming rig I hooked up for my kids. It was long overdue.I am using a Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS motherboard with a AMD Ryzen-5 3600 MHz 6-Core processor with this Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM. My graphics card is ASUS Radeon RX 580 8GB Dual-Fan OC Edition GDDR5. The PSU is Corsair RM650. I'm using two hard disks in this. The booting is Western Digital WD Blue SSD 250 GB SATA III and the bulk storage is a standard 1 TB Seagate Baracuda as the secondary. All this is housed in a Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW cabinet.

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.

Have had these for a few months now and they haven't failed me once. I've bought ram from them before and will continue to purchase from them.Firstly the ram sticks themselves look slick. Nice looking heat spreader and will help if your looking for a clean build. Multiple colour selections also. My case is windowed and it looks great in it compared to seeing green in your case.By default they run at 2133mhz but this is easily changeable by going into the bios and enabling xmp. This will allow them to run at their rated speed. Currently in my z370 mobo which houses an i7 8700 and it works great together. Personally ram speed isn't that big of a factor in my opinion but that depends on if your using ryzen etc,

I recently made a massive PC upgrade/overhaul, moving from an FX-8320 and FXA-990 mobo...to a R7 2700X and Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming. With that said, I also had to retire my 32GB HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL10 RAM. I couldn't downgrade in RAM capacity, and intend to max out my mobo's DIMMs at some point. Judging by the "Verified Purchase", and this review, you can guess what I ultimately went with.Out of the box, you'll expect, and might be confused, as to why the RAM is running at 2133MHz. This is pretty standard. So you'll definitely need to go into your UEFI BIOS and select "XMP Profile 1" to ensure it's running at its best. It might vary on how/where you need to enable that.

Bought Corsiar standard memory 2600mhz 2 sticks 8gb each so it balanced across the DIMM sockets installed on a MSI x470 motherboard running a ryzen5 processor, MSI GTX 1070 gpu. Installed with no issues put together in under 20 minutes and booted up and windows 10 installed within the hour. Bullet proof ram you can go for faster speeds up to 3600mhz for this motherboard but ££ against speed your not going to notice any benefit unless your a speed geek more interested in measuring speed over playing games or even video editing better adding more sticks …. my opinion of Course. Ensure you check out what RAM your processor can manage before buying bigger ram only to find out that your processor cant use it (wasted money and hours trying to tweak it to get the stated speed out of it),

Writing this review in August 2017 when the price of this ram is £124.99.I bought this ram for £56.99 back on 24th of March 2016.Absolute steal for £56.99, but you won't get this ram for that price in late 2017 or for a long time due to worldwide DDR4 shortages.At the time it was a great buy, but This ram has some weird issues with the Asus Z170 Pro gaming board and playing the game called Runescape, weird but me and 3 other users were stumped and found out we all had the same motherboard and ram combo that was causing the issue and changing ram was enough, so if you have a Z170 pro gaming from Asus and this ram, you might... maybe run into issues with Runescape in NXT mode.Other than that,

I had absolutely no idea that there were so many different types of Ram these days. This was my third attempt as I was having difficulty in reading the labels on my pc's original ram and the paperwork that came with the pc was "generic" not specific to my setup, so I wasn't sure that even Corsair's amazing website help was right. Amazon were absolutely brilliant in exchanging each wrong purchase. I was relieved when I opened the package and it looked as if it would fit. Opened up my pc (yet again) placed it where it should go - in it popped. I put my pc back together, turned it on. I noticed the difference immediately. Before fitting this I had time to turn on the monitor and either the keyboard or mouse - not this time.

Great ram to pair with a current ryzen build, I didn't have to manually tweak the MHz with my motherboard, I just had to select DOCP profile 1 and it is nice and stable. The ram gives a noticeable improvement for my ryzen 5 2600x build, there is a bit of a boost in fps and smoothness , little less input lag occurrences across the games I have been playing as well.I picked two of these up separately and both are working flawlessly with no issues in my current sff build. The heatshroud I'm sure is benefiting these in the compact case.C16 and in my experience great ryzen compatibility have made this the perfect choice for me at the moment - 3000mhz is doing the job.

I originally had 32 GB on my computer but, needed 64 GB due to virtualisation of hardware. I got on this on sale when it was roughly £400 cheaper than other offerings. I have bought Corsair lpx vengeance for many years, and it is still as reliable as it comes. it was an inexpensive upgrade and very affordable and the stability is rock solid. when the ram was inserted my computer instantly detected the upgrade. I am an old school person who still uses air cooling as it is more reliable than liquid cooling and my cooler was huge. thanks to Corsair's low profile heatsink I was able to install it without having to remove the CPU fan. All in all this is a great upgrade and it works well with high end games that are really demanding its a good all rounder.
