I recently wanted 2 x 16GB RAM from Corsair. I would've went with Vengeance RGB 6000MHz, at about 125 euros. Until I found out about this: Introducing the Lexar Ares RGB 2 x 16 RAM, 6400MHz, at about 110 euros. So 15 euros cheaper, for better performance. And in my opinion, it also looks better! This obviously comes with one (major) downside: It doesn't have a dual channel connection. But who cares! It looks awesome! Let me know what you think, but to me it's pretty much a no brainer, except for if your case isn't transparent or if you care a lot about dual channel RAM. CORRECTION: It's DDR5, so also dual channel. I'm sorry, I forgot about that

Rx5700xt and a R5 2600, running Supposition benchmark on high or Cinnebench r20, nothing seems to get the PSU to start spinning its fans. Once I took off the side panel to touch the top of the PSU and it was pretty hot. On system boot the fan does one or two spins and then never spins again. Is the "zero fan" thing going too far with this one? Its only few months old.

I have an MSI Z270 Gaming Carbon Pro(bios version:E7A63IMS.190), with an i7 7700k. I've looked into it before buying the RAM and could not find a reason to why this wouldn't work with it. So I am curious if there is any other reason at all. When I try to enable XMP in the bios it takes a long time for it to try something, and then tells me to reset to default values, it does exactly the same when I try to manually switch it to 3600 or any other value above 2133 for that matter. I'll drop links of my hardware at the bottom. Was just curious if anyone had any idea if I could fix this in any way at all, or if I should contact where I bought the RAM to see if they could exchange it for me. If I can provide any more information please let me know and I'll try to do this as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

So hi guys, I have been noticing something weird about my RAM (CMW16GX4M2C32) Sometimes the animations of the RGB work just fine sometimes they just freeze. It even has a triangle when i hover over it, nothing happens. The ram itself works perfectly fine. I dont have any clue why it does this. Thanks in advance guys!

Hi, Currently i have 4x8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance pro RGB 3200mhz 16-18-18-36 paird with Ryzen 5600x. After hours of overclocking, tightening the timings and stress test i was able to get them to 3466mhz 16-19-19-32. Is this good enough for Ryzen 5600x or should I upgrade to 3600mhz (cant afford higher frequency), any suggestions with suitable sets of RAM. Thanks

Hello everyone I recently built my own PC, purchased some RBG memory (vengeance RBG pro) and for some reason in Icue & Link the memory is not detected as configurable. I've checked a ton of other forums, and everything I see tells me to check that SPD write is turned on, but in my bios version there's nothing there that matches the description. I've recently updated bios to the most recent version, uninstalled & reinstalled link / Icue multiple times, and I'm still stuck with the flowing rainbow colors on my memory. I'm new here, so not really sure what to post but here's my system specs as a start from sysinfo.

One of my corsairs is not showing rgb and the other is (DRR5 6000mhz) the system manages to detect the two sticks giving 32GB RAM but I don't understand why to start doing that, my ICUE is buggy only the ram appears to configure rgb rarely I believe this started to do after installing the latest chipser driver from amd it may not be but it's weird Attention I don't have asus aura installed despite having an asus motherboard I only have the programs from lian li and strom from zotac so I don't believe it's a conflict I think My build: Asus Rog Crossair Hero X670E Ryzen 7900x Graphics Card: RTX 3090 RAM- Corsair Vengeance DRR5 6000Mhz Font -Corsair RM 1000W Full Modular Gold Thank you if you can help me

Hi to everyone. My PC has R9 5900X, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite, 3080Ti and 2x8 GB of RAM Corsair Vengeance RS DDR4-3600 DC C18. I just added another two sticks of RAM which are also from Corsair but Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3600 DC C18 2x8GB. Recently I noticed some input lags of my keyboard while playing Minecraft. It happens not all the time, only at the certain times when placing blocks pretty fast or moving around. I use some mods and shaders for Minecraft (dedicated 8GB of RAM to it), I achieve ~200 fps almost all the time and everything is okay, but it looks like this input lag started after I installed more RAM. Keyboard lags for like few seconds after I release every key, character still moves around by itself, if I press inventory or ESC, it only opens everything after this lag disappears. Few days ago I removed those two sticks of RAM and now this lag looks gone. My question are these 4 sticks of RAM can't communicate between or something else is wrong with my PC? Every stick has same speeds of 18-22-22-42 and 3600Mhz. Only difference between them I saw was one letter in the name 2x CMG16GX4M2D3600C18 and 2x CMW16GX4M2D3600C18. After install I see 32GB of RAM and using X.M.P to unlock that 3600 speed. Tried to google it, but can't find anything helpful. Did I bought wrong sticks of RAM or they should be fine working together? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I just recently added an additional 16GB of 3200MHz RAM to my gaming rig (for a total of 32GB, all at 3200MHz). And Windows Task Manager, my BIOS, and even CPU-z are telling me that I'm not getting 3200MHz across the board. In addition, my bios won't let me run xmp. It crashes and has me revert to previous settings. The ram I had initially was Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x8) 16GB 3200MHz, and I added Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (2x8) 16GB 3200MHz. I'm wondering now, if this was a rookie mistake, and I should've just gotten more LPX instead of the RGB? But the MHz is the same, and the latency numbers are also the same. System hardware is as follows: Core i7-9700k MSI z370 SLI Plus Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x8) 16GB 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (2x8) 16GB 3200MHz RTX 2070 Super FTW3 If anyone has any advice on how to fix this, please let me know. I still have time to return and the ram I got and swap it for the same ram I had initially. Thanks!

I'm upgrading my ram in my system. Right now I have 16gbs of 3000mhz cl16 memory from corsair. Do I need to do anything special to install the new ram? Its corsair vengeance lpx 3600mhz, cl 18.

So I was making a new pcpartpicker list as you do when bored out of your mind inside, and I saw a weird pricing for RAM at 5k mhz. It was priced at around 1,000 $ USD. Is the pricing for this kit high because of inflation of markets from Corona, or is this memory just extremely overpriced/valued?

I noticed that the Corsair C70, the case I use, has mounts on the top for up to 2 140mm fans, however on Corsair's site it lists the case as only having support for up to a 240mm rad on top. Is there any reason I couldn't fit a 280 up there?

Hello All, I put this comp together from parts from trial and error builds, and troubleshooting parts for other machines. Intel Core i5 6600K 3.50 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache Lepa AquaChanger 120MM Liquid CPU Cooler, LPWAC120-HF Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-UD5 Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz (PC4-24000) C15 Memory Kit - Black EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6180-KR Kingston Digital 120GB SSDNow UV400 SATA 3 2.5" Solid State Drive SUV400S37/120G EVGA Supernova G2 750W 220-G2-0750-XR Fully Modular Power Supply NZXT S340 Mid Tower Computer Case, Glossy Black (CA-S340W-B1) Corsair Air Series SP 120 LED Green High Static Pressure Fan Cooling Corsair Air Series SP 140 LED Green High Static Pressure Fan Cooling Windows 10 Pro, Kaspersky AV, Abode Creative Cloud, DOOM, etc... A few issues with the NZXT S340 case but not too bad. I couldn't quite fit a 240 Corsair H105 CPU cooler in the front. While I did sort of JAM it in the case the tubing was blocking everything, and the tubing was straining its connections because of the tight bending. And so I ordered an air cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO) but that didn't fit as well, too tall (but was very close). So the Lepa took over and is performing quite well. What is also cool about the Lepa is it can fit Socket 775 CPU's, so i might use it again on one of my older gaming rigs. Also the MOBO backplate had problems fitting which is causing the MOBO backplate display to bow out a little. Not a huge issue [see pic]. The cables fit with no problem and it is not really visible since its the back of the PC. I didn't feel like grinding it down a little to get the exact fit because the finish kind of flakes off. The paint sort of chip away when securing the screws for the PSU and side panels. Lastly no where to put a DVD ROM, but not a necessity for me. The MOBO has some cool gold lighting running up the left side along the back of the PC. I ran DOOM at max setting at 4K, but had some issues and by dropping the AA by half it worked with no problems.

Hi guys, will a Corsair Vengeance LED 2 X 8gb Ram be compatible with the ASUS ROG z270 Maximus Formula Motherboard? Link for RAM - http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/vengeance-led-white Link for Mobo - https://www.asus.com/aa/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-IX-FORMULA/ Thanks in advance

I have 2 4GB Corsair Vengeance Pro Ram Sticks (@1866MHz) and 1 8GB Kingston Hyper X Fury RAM Stick (@1866MHz). The Kingston ram by default already runs on 1866MHz, but the corsair sticks only run on 1333MHz. I tried increasing DRAM voltage and see if that helped, but it did not. I have a Z97K mobo. Any suggestions?

Hello, I have a Vengeance K95 (Non-RGB) and yesterday it stopped working. My pc has a problem and it takes about 20 min to boot in the system. In that 20 min a blue screen appears and the pc restarts the sequence. When Windows finally appears I noticed the back-light of the keyboard was turned off and when i pressed a key it didn´t happen anything, but in the Device Manager it does appear. The guarantee is void Someone has any solution for this problem ?

Hello, Lately i was trying to Overclock my Ryzen System and so far i have only been able to Overclock my CPU but not my RAM. I have Tried using the XMP Profile that came with the RAM but no luck there either. CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 + (Stock Cooler) @ 3.8Ghz Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS AX370 Gaming 5 v1.0 @ Bios F5 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LED White 16gb @ 3200Mhz (8GB x 2) GPU: Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ OC PSU: Super Flower 650W LEADEX White (Gold Cert) I have used BIOS and Ryzen Master to check how the CPU will OC but the RAM doesn't wanna OC at all. It fails at BIOS changes and even at the Ryzen Master Program. The Motherboard just gets into a reboot loop until it completely resets everything, sometimes even goes back one BIOS (F5d). Thanks for reading my problem, can't wait to see some good answers.

So recently i brought my new computer, but the question here is that "Can i overclock my memory?", if yes, what is the recommended clock speed?? Ram Specs: DDR4 16gb(One DIMM) 2400 Mhz LowProfile Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-1x16GB-2400MHz-Memory/dp/B019HVQJ2U/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1496850264&sr=8-21&keywords=corsair+ddr4+lpx+16gb

Intro (skip if you don't care about WHY I did this) Hi all, just wanted to share the process I went through when painting my RAM as I'm really happy with the result. I bought a Cerulean blue kit when I built the first iteration of my PC because it matched the motherboard I bought (Asus M5a97 r2.0). The change of colour was first conceived moments after I upgraded to a 4790k and a Krait edition motherboard yet I still wasn't convinced it was necessary as only a tiny bit of the ram was showing. That was until one of the heat-spreaders started to fall off. It also gave me the opportunity to mess with stuff sooo... Kit List Paint: Kobra Paint's pure white - semigloss in one of their low pressure aerosols. TIM: Akasa thermal adhesive tape Alcohol - Hexeal Chemicals 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol Masking/Painters tape - In the end I used normal, clear tape. I got the paint, TIM and alcohol from amazon. Work Log I first carefully pried the heat spreader off of the RAM modules, the side directly touching the (single sided) PCB came off really easily as they were the ones nearly falling off. The other sides were adhered to what seems to be a strip of acrylic fixed to the PCB and were more difficult to remove, I spent a long time and just about managed it using just my fingers to minimise bricking potential. I didn't take any pictures of this as it didn't strike me as an interesting step. The adhesive Corsair used left some nice residue that took a while to get rid of with 99.9% alcohol, again; no pics for this dull step. Following the clean I used a hairdryer to warm the adhesive beneath the stickers, this allowed me to peel them off and stick the to a sheet acrylic (I think) from an old laptop screen. There was a tiny bit of residue where the last part of the sticker hung onto every one of the heat-spreaders. So I hit it with more alcohol before painting. Moving onto paint, I began by taping the area where the modules contact the heat-spreader, I used normal tape here as I couldn't find enough masking/painters tape. You might be able to see this in the pic below (it's not very clear). I then took it all outside to the 'multi purpose utility area' a well ventilated yet not too windy or dusty space to lay down the paint. Below is what I got after one coat. Two Coats Three Coats I'm really happy with the result, however I am fully aware that it is not perfect. If I were to do this again I would be more patient and apply more, lighter coats with a much shorter interval to attain a smoother finish. I would also not tear a bit of cardboard nearby to make a support raining fibres all over the drying paint... Onto the stickers! Since I stuck them onto a smooth surface I could peel them off fairly easily and apply them back onto the heat-spreaders to really finish them up. Unfortunately some of the corners would not stick down so I applied some super glue and pushed then corners down with a cotton bud/que tip. Now to put them back together. Here I cut up the TIM into rectangles appropriately sized to cover the memory modules, I used larger rectangles for the other side with the plastic plate thingy. I peeled off the protective layers on one side of the adhesive tape rectangles, applied them all to the RAM before peeling off the layer on the other side (now facing up) and lining up the heat-spreaders. Thanks for taking a look at this little project. If you'd like anything clarified or want me to add some extra detail, let me know. In the spoiler below are some pictures of the system both before and after this mod.

Hi all, I am having a problem with my newest build, I have a RYZEN 1700 CPU paired with Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz RAM, but I am having a problem getting my RAM to 3200MHz. Currently I have it clocked at 2933 and if I go any higher the system will poop out as soon as I apply it causing me to pull out the trusty CMOS reset pin! Is there a reason why it's doing this? Thanks for the help! This would be a waste of money if I can't max it out! But I'll still keep it of course!

Hi, I was so dumb... I didn't realise that my motherboard (Asus Z-270-A) supports only 2133 MHz memory, and I bought a dual channeled Corsair Vengeance Lpx (8+8 GB) that runs at 3000 MHz. I installed those to the memory slots. My motherboard didn't really detect it (only the half - 8GB). Should I refund the Vengeance memory? Or are there any settings that would make these work properly? I'm a beginner at PC building, so be kind with me if I've made a really dumb mistake ;-) Note: This motherboard supports memory overclocking up to 3800 MHz. (If that's important)

Just purchased a new build, keeping my old case/PSU (ocz 650w) and the pc boots up, CPU/GPU fans are spinning and mobo led lights are on but nothing shows on my display. BUILD: Ryzen 5 1600 AMD RX 580 Corsair vengeance LPX 16gb (8gbx2) MSI B350M-A What I've tried: Changing around ram sticks, just one in each slot, both inserted. Removed CMOS battery for 10 minutes then held a screwdriver to the JBAT1 to CLEAR_CMOS Plugged in my old GTX 660ti DVI cable, HDMI cable (benq xl2410t I think is the monitor model, old 120hz monitor) I have reinserted my old build and that boots fine. Breadboarding the mobo on a cardboard box so nothing like a standoff should be shorting anything MOBO speaker is plugged in and not making any sound (I removed all ram to check the speaker is working and it did beep when no ram connected) image of the build running (old 660ti plugged in here but shows it booting image of the JBAT1 pins that I connected with a screwdriver for 5 seconds to clear the cmos (can someone confirm these are in fact the correct pins) SUMMARY: I'm pretty new to this stuff although I have spent many hours researching everything and I believe it's possible that the ram is not compatible (EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE) or the mobo is Faulty, any other trouble shooting tips I should try or what should I try to return/change? I don't have access to any other ddr4 ram [EDIT: added two images of the build booting and the two JBAT1 pins I connected to clear the cmos asking if someone can verify these are in fact the correct pins]

Hello! I had a pretty dodgy setup- it was my PC I took over from the UK to Australia in my suitcase in bits. I put it together in a prototyping kit not a proper case. I reached a point where I was too nervous that I would accidentally spill something in the open case and it was getting very dusty! Rather than buying a case I decided to embark on the journey of building my own case! (Well modding one) Processor: i5 4670k Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 HD3 RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 970 CPU cooling: Corsair water cooling 240mm Rad. Storage: 500GB Harddrive + 3x SSD PSU: 650w Corsair Case: custom build This is my case pre build- it was super dusty and just very ghetto- So initially I bought 6 second hand cases from ebay for $6. It turned out 5 of the 6 were wrecked- all rusted and just so outdated! So I threw them away. But one was an old Coolermaster case- a bit worn and old but I decided to use it as my base. I stripped down the case removing the black panelling leaving the metal base. Stripped down the case entirely and began to sand down the metal ready for a fresh coat of paint. I didn't need the hard-drive cage in there anymore; as it was an older case the hard-drive cage was riveted into the case. I had to drill out the rivets so I could remove the cage, drilling out rivets is surprisingly difficult but with perseverance comes results! Painting: Started with a silver basecoat Then I gave the case a fresh coat of black paint- ran into issues with the paint dripping down the case and layers of old paint sticking to the top of the case. Almost ran out of paint but got it done! My radiator was too dusty! Spent a while cleaning all the old parts! Started putting together the pieces into the case- not worrying about cable management so I could check it all works fine and I haven't broken anything! Got this huge heatsink from china which I stuck on my GPU as a backplate with some thermal pads Got some custom plexiglass panels cut for the side panels and interior of the case. Once I was sure all the panels fit properly I tested the case worked. Everything worked perfectly so I put in all the panels and the build was done! The panels are attached with little velcro tabs- you can't see them, they are a cheap option and they are very strong holding the panels in place! So the case is completed! I think it is a big improvement from the start- it roughly took maybe 6-8 hours of work. Cost wise was about $150AUD in materials. Pros- -As it is a custom build I could make a custom basement and have all the panels the exact sizes I wanted -Was enjoyable to build -easy to remove panels and inner plexi sections -Scratch resistant and tough Cons- -Plexi collects dust like a magnet -For the cost you can buy a cheap case instead -Time element of having to complete the work. Tell me what you think!

Hello everyone, I'v been searching for an answer on this question for a while now. Are the Corsair vengeance RGB (CMR16GX4M2C3000C15) ram kits compatible with any ryzen motherboards? More specificly the gigabyte AX370 motherboards? Because i found some posts that said that they should work with the gigabyte RGB fusion software but i never actualy saw any actual build. I also searched the memory support list but i didn't find them on the list neighter did i saw the vengeance led modules but i have seen actual builds of those. I hope i get an answer soon so i can start ordering the parts and start building. thanks in advance
