I decided to switch from the Intel systems simply because AMD are better value for money. After ordering the Asus R.O.G X470 Strix Motherboard & thee AMD 2700X CPU, I needed new DDR4 memory. Now which to buy was the question as I read about some modules being more temperamental than others. So I did my research and went onto Asus`s website and got a list of compatible ram that worked with their boards for the Ryzen system. The Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO drew my attention so I ordered it and to cut a long story short, it worked straight out of the box. I just went into the Bios and selected D.O.C.P “Amd`s version of Intels xmp” and it saw the ram and the speed and I selected it and restarted the bios and boom we were off to the races.The speed of the ram I bought was 3000mhz, so I thought I would try to bump it to 3200mhz and that worked straight away. Now the sweet spot for Ryzen system is around 3000-3200mhz so I didn’t see the need to go even further. I am more than happy with that speed.The RGB is a nice touch but as I’m nearly the big five zero now & well, let’s just say I’m kinda to old for that but it’s nice to have if you want it. It’s good with the profile of division 2 though and yes I still play the odd game as I got this game free with the cpu.Now in my case I will give this memory a good solid 10/10 as it purely works when you set it up in the bios as all ram will run at 2133mhz in the bios until you set it up.At the point of writing this review, the Ram cost me £215 for 32gb, a steal compared to this time last year.Hope you enjoy the images included and if you have any questions, I will try to answer them.

Okay, so, it's RAM.Not the most exciting thing in the world, right? But if you don't have any RAM, your computer is not going to, well, work.So you need RAM. Why buy this set? Because it's goooood. And, as the title says, it also looks good!To get it out of the way: This is DDR4 RAM. DDR4 only works with certain motherboards (and hence certain processors which fit those boards) combinations. Check that your motherboard will accept DDR4 before you buy this - you don't want to be trying to hammer the sticks into an incompatible motherboard.Assuming you do have the right hardware, these are a dream to fit. Takes about two minutes to slide each stick in and make sure they're secure in the motherboard slots.That's it, job done. The sticks feel robust, and I managed not to drop either of them into the case as a result.Then you turn your machine on.Immediately, two things are noticeable:First, if you're upgrading from <16GB of RAM, you'll see a performance increase. Well, i did, anyway. Everything felt smoother, and multitasking involved less delays. So functionally, these are as expected - and they've got the quality we've come to expect of Corsair.The second is, they light up! There's some included software for configuring which lights to display and when, if you don't want your PC internals to look like a disco, but it's very pretty, in any event. It apparently synchronises with other lit Corsair hardware, if you're building out a machine.So yeah. It's good. Feels quality, looks nice, and delivers solid performance. If you're buying a new machine, or switching to DDR4 in an upgrade, this is a great choice.

I’ve been updating my PC with an Intel 9900K CPU on an Asus Prime Z390-A motherboard. I wanted some fast RAM to compliment the setup. I settled on two of these Corsair Vengeance RGB modules giving me 16GB of RAM. I went for the 3600 MHz ones as I didn’t want to overclock them.Since popping them into the motherboard, they have worked faultlessly and at the rated speed. They are definitely plug and forget. The only setting up I needed to do was to set the colours I wanted. The LEDs are nice and bright but can be dimmed if needed using the Corsair iCUE software.The software has to be downloaded but it works well. Incidentally, the software will control the motherboard lights as well.A lot of people say that this can’t be done as Asus uses its own Aura software. They’re wrong. You do have to download and install the Aura software but not have to use it. iCUE will then be able to control it all.These memory modules are a little more expensive than some other modules but from experience they are well worth the extra. They have good built-in heatsinks and rarely get passed be a little warm to the touch. As long as there a little breeze flowing around them and you shouldn’t have any problems, even if you want to overclock them.Overall, they are a little pricey but that shouldn’t deter you. They are worth it!

I decided to upgrade my RAM and decided I wanted to get something more high end than the plain looking 2400MHz DDR4 RAM I was using previously. I decided on 2 by 8Gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro sticks and settled on 3200MHz as the best value option at the time of buying (with an assumption that the performance improvement with frequency is linear).I don't have benchmarks, so the performance improvement is hard to detect in day to day use, as you can probably imagine. However, the RGB lighting (as ridiculous as the whole RGB thing is getting at this point) is honestly pretty nice and really stands out.My only nitpick is that I also have an Asus Aura supporting motherboard and neither Asus nor Corsair support anything other than the lighting in their own products.This isn't a suprise, but it is a little inconvenient that third party software is required to sync up all the lighting in my setup.These are a great choice from the point of view of performance and aesthetics and have been working great for me. No real complaints.

It's been a while since I built my last PC. I expected to plug these in and get the rated 3200Mhz speed with no further effort. However, you actually have to overclock these from the bios settings to get them up to the 3200MHZ mark. These easiest way to do this to enable the XMP profile (pretty easy on a Gigabyte Aorus Master X570 motherboard) . However, for me plating Battlefield 4 and 5 would result in a crash to desktop after a couple of minutes gaming. After researching a few web pages I found that people had this occur when they overclocked their memory - but surely I was just running at the rated XMP speeds? I decided to run memtest86 and sure enough,the memory would fail tests at the settings provided in the XMP profile! I had to tweak the settings, notably increasing the Trc setting from 54 to 56 to get it to run stable. Bit of a pain.Otherwise the RAM looks solidly constructed and the lights look pretty!

I've used Corsair RAM in my last 3 builds and it's always been a good choice. I've just put 32GB of these RGB DDR4 sticks into a new Z390 based build and they're running perfectly fine at 2666MHz.They're taller than I expected so take care if you have a large CPU cooler. I have an m-ATX motherboard with an MSI CORE FROZR cooler and they only fit because they're situated far enough away from the cooler...any closer and they'd be too tall (they overlap the bottom of the Frozr's heatsink/fan by about 2/3mm).The RGB is pretty funky (I've never used RGB RAM before) and can be controlled either by the Corsair software or by your motherboard. The LED strips are fairly large and can be configured with various levels of brightness (and colour combinations,obviously).I'll continue to by Corsair RAM (the DDR3 that I bought for my previous build over 4yrs ago is still going strong), until they give me a reason not to.

So I purchased the 32GB 3600mhz CL18 kit.Overall very happy and with some experimenting, have found this particular kit to more often or not be Samsung B-Die or E-die?l. So what does that mean? These types of RAM are desirable as it means they can be overclocked further still 9 times out of 10.I’ve managed to tighten my timings down to CL14 and increase clock to 3666 for only a 0.2v increase!Style wise - they look OK. They lose a star for not support hardware profiles (where the RGB colour information is saved to the device itself rather than software)Value for money - with the overclocked I achieved, yes. If you were to get them and not be able to do so? That’s more questionable.I however,do not regret my purchase decision at all.

i built my new PC consisting of Ryzen 7 2700 + RTX 2060 Super + MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX & was going for a white/black build with some RGB for a bit of flairwhen i saw these 3200mhz RAM sticks on offer over black friday i had to pick these up & i was not disappointedThe speed of the RAM is perfect and i get the full speed out of themthe RGB can be controlled by motherboard software like MSI Mystic Light or via the Corsair iCUE software (i opted for iCUE due to also using Corsair fans)The price of RAM has dropped significantly the last 12 months, 3200mhz 16GB RAM for £89.99 a year a go you would have been lucky to get 8GB for that price!very pleased and would definitely buy corsair RAM again

Could only boot at 3400Mhz OC 3700X. Seems the XMP isn't working with gigabyte.I've included CPU-Z Information for my RAM Kit, but it uses MICRON chips and I believe they're Micron E-Die (But don't quote me as I found that on a forum, but Micron is listed in CPU-Z).Anyway, the Sticks are lovely and quality feeling. They also show the Correct Way! By this I mean the Logo isn't facing the CPU like some it's facing the RIGHT so if you're looking in the case and its bright you'll see the Corsair Logo instead of a barcode or sticker with model and serial numbers on etc.I previously before this kit had some Dominator Platinum @ 3200 and that was equally as good.

I get full 3200MHz on XMP Profile 2 and it's stable. It does not appear to like overclocks very much but I feel that the performance at 3200 is good enough for my needs.The RGB adds some bling to RAM which is, for most part, a boring dull looking component.The lighting can be controlled through Corsair's iCUE software or with 3rd party software like MSI Mystic Light.I can't really fault this RAM and see a performance uplift from my Vengeance LPX 3000MHz kit previously.Running this with a Ryzen 7 2700 (overclocked to 4.2GHz) on a MSI X570 motherboard with a Sapphire RX5700XT Pulse GPU. Get good AAA game performance across the board.

RGB looks better than shown in the images - really smooth blend of the LED's into a nice solid colour wave that is easily customised.Beware when upgrading RAM that you will likely need to unlock higher RAM clock speeds on your motherboard BIOS to benefit from the speed increase. Different MOBO manufacturers will require different methods to do this so check your motherboard manual.During boot, press DEL or sometimes F10 to enter BIOS. Within OC settings, you are looking for "enable XMP profile" or "set RAM clock speed" or similar.Also beware that your RAM overall will only run as fast as the slowest sticks you have installed.

I already had 16gb of 3200mhz I bought off here for about £160 (I think) over a year ago... I know it wasn't cheap but at that time I was upgrading my pc as the oculus rift wouldn't run on my old system so out with old faithfull 2600k hd7850xt and in with 8600k gtx1080 anyhow I know theres no need for 32gb but at £89.98 for these but worth it to have in and at some point will use them in my son aging ddr3 rig when I upgrade that... or give him my hand me downs. So for the money I thought sod it in the basket it goes as I can't see it getting any cheaper.

I've had no problems running this at its rated speed in multiple systemsLooks much better than the original Vengeance RGB in my opinion, definitely has much better brightness consistency than the original (which are brighter in the middle), and has much better software control - haven't had any issues with one stick or section randomly not responding, or turning off.Compared to the G.Skill Trident Z RGB, which I also have, it's a bit brighter with a cooler colour temperature. I'll take Corsair's iCUE over aura software any day though.

This product is an amazing deal at the time of me writing this, at only £79.99! It is exactly what I needed at the time so I bought it. When it came it was exactly as expected. Installation was simple, but when the RGB Lights turned on I was blown away by how bright the LEDs were! I'd recommend this to anyone that is looking for an upgrade to their current build and is looking for some added lighting. The 3200mhz clock speed really helps with rendering out videos faster and the extra 16gb helped a lot with video editing in general!

As ram these modules perform great with my rizen b450-f motherboard, just plugged them into slots 2 and 4 to enable duel channel mode and enabled the xmp profile in bios to clock them at 3200mhz and it's good to go, even managed to overclock em by a few percent with no issue.The RGB lights are really cool, they are bright and look something akin to a brightly coloured cuttlefish or luminous jellyfish in the way they strobe.Havnt messed with the RGB settings as I really like the default 256 colour strobe.Highly recommended.
