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.

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.

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).

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.

Not sure how to rate memory, it either works or it doesn't.However a couple of things to mention, it is listed as 2400 memory but it shows as 2133 in bios on the Asus Z107-A MB. This has to be manually selected to 2400.Apparently this is normal as the memory is listed as 2400 OC (which presume means Over Clocked), so is NOT true 2400. (my fault I didn't realise this!)Have stability issues with my MB sometimes freezing and upon reboot warns that overclocking failed. As I don't overclock, (other than the memory setting), then I can only assume it refers to the memory speed at 2400. In which case that makes it incapable of running at its advertised speed. A bit misleading,but looks like all manufacturers do the same.This has only happened 3 times since purchase, so not a great problem. I haven't run it at 2133, so don't know what impact it would have on system performance. Some reviews show very little difference.I have not had any specific memory issues though.

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.But I've decided to attach some images from my BIOS.Since I don't have other DDR4 to compare this to, I can't offer benchmarks. All in all, it's low profile, and even if it isn't RGB--it still looks great.

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.I checked the settings and I had doubled my ram - at last! PC still working perfectly and very fast.

Really happy with this kit, also came with a ram cooler which I fitted (might as well).Installed on a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro with a 3700x.Initially just enabled the XMP profile and straight to 3200mhx it went with no issues, job done in many ways but then looking at performance it seems 3600mhz is a sweet spot for performance with as you can then run the fabric clock at 1:1 1800mhz which increases the cpu performance.So with slightly relaxed timings (16-19-19-40) and a voltage bump to 1.38v everything is stable in memtest 86 at 3600mhz.On research I have version V5.32 with Hynix dies.I do think the motherboard played a big part in this being possible as well as the memory support on the 3rd Gen Ryzens.Of course this isn't guaranteed for others with different hardware (or even the same hardware)

I recently purchased this memory as part of a new Ryzen system I was putting together. I checked the part number against the list of Ryzen approved memory and spotted this on there, so felt confident in pulling the trigger!First impressions were positive. The RAM looks great, it's sturdy and it's Corsair, a brand you can trust. Installation was as expected, no issues at all.My system originally detected it as 2133MHz memory, not 3200MHz. when I manually set it to 3200MHz in the BIOS the system crashes, so I have had to settle for 3000MHz instead, however I suspect this isn't a problem with the RAM itself.Paired with a Ryzen r 2600 and Asus ROG Strix B450-F motherboard.The only gripe I have is the extortionate price of the RAM,however that's more a condition of the market at the moment.

Built new vr gaming system a couple of months ago with 2 x 16gb sticks of same ram. Decided (with trepidation) to upgrade to 4x 8gb of same ram. I say with trepidation as have read several reviews whereby people had issues with XMP/DOCP not allowing correct clock speed, or not even booting. I am running AMd Ryzen 5 3600 on rog strix b450f motherboard using 1901 bios version. Reset clock speed to default, inserted new sticks, booted (took a min or so). System booted. Rebooted, went into bios and changed clock speed from 2133 to 3200mhz. Everything worked straight away, all 4 sticks OC'd to 3200 mhz. I think it may have helped as I made sure all 4 sticks had samsung chips on them. So for me and my rig,all worked well with no issues with 4 sticks of ram.

For games nowadays it is increasingly the case that 16gb is the sweet spot, looking at games like Call of Duty Warzone, you will be bottlenecked and suffer decreased performance at 8gb or less.As for the speed, this was a good upgrade over my 2400Mhz, as ryzen CPUs tend to favour faster clock speeds on RAM. At C16 timings this is the sweet spot and any lower, you're looking at serious diminishing returns and especially higher prices.The first one I ordered was faulty and found my computer bluescreened every week (Which made it all that harder to diagnose) after some searching I was able to go in the CMD, do a hardware test and found that there was indeed a problem. I asked for a return and was given replacement.Overall,some nice DIMMs.

After months of not being able to reach 3000MHz using the XMP or Extreme Memory Profiles BIOS profile provided by my Asrock Fatality z270 ITX/ac motherboard low and behold I have success after two or three BIOS updates!Yes this particular memory module was compatible from day one with my motherboard as it was mentioned on the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) but that didn't guarantee success so my message to everybody is not to give up as it might be the fault of your motherboard manufacturers BIOS drivers and not the RAM itself as many people here are stating.Even at the stock 2100 MHz I would still give this ram three stars as it was stable and works very well but now I give it five for the obviousreasons.

When I decided to upgrade my computer for the first time in several years I have to admit that I was somewhat dispapointed by the hike in prices with regards to all manner of parts. High-end GPUs have retained their value as they prove valuable to cryptocurrency miners as well as games enthusiasts; CPUs and Motherboard combinations change with the wind, and now: even RAM requires a brand new form of socket.Fortunately Corsair does not disappoint in the performance deparment and has even persuaded me to upgrade my secondary hard drive to an SSD to remove bottlenecking: it's that good. Another negative is the minimalistic packaging with not additional materials: considering the exceptionalprice!
