Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 AMD Optimized Memory – Black

The media could not be loaded. This is a great set of 2 8GB sticks of RAM. It was running at 2666Mhz before getting into the BIOS and using XMP profile 1 on the Gigabyte B550 Pro mobo, set at 3600Mhz and it has run flawlessly since then. Of course it's only been a few days and I'll need to run some memory testing before I reach any final conclusions. My only issue is that I cannot control it with Gigabyte's RGB software (RGB Fusion 2.0), but from further reading online, this is a problem with the software and not with the RAM so I can't really detract anything. The features of ICUE work well enough but it would be nice to get them all to sync up. At any rate, it's quality I would expect from Corsair and I have nothing else to say!

So I've purchased a lot of Corsair products in the past and my impression is that build quality is very decent. These RAM sticks specifically, feel really nice in the hands and look great with whatever lighting setting you choose. Performance is also add expected and they were compatible with my system without any additional setup needed. ( MSI B550-A Pro, AMD 5600x, RTX 3080 FE)

Seriously, lets' be honest. You're buying this because it has pretty lights on the top. Don't get me wrong - it does. Honestly, though, you could buy the plain version for less and save a little money for a better component elsewhere. If you don't care about aesthetics, you're all set then.The Ram: Corsair has a good reputation and the ram checked out when I installed it in my system. While it's possible to overclock, it's not really worth it here unless you're an enthusiast/hobbyist. The performance gain is essentially not noticeable.Compatibility: Works fine in my motherboard - asus tuf gaming x570-plus (wi-fi). This ram is intended to work with the newer AMD processors. If you're getting an AMD Ryzen 7 3*00x or Ryzen 9 39** processor, this is the ram you want. You can aim for a lower clock speed, like CL16, but it won't make that much difference for most folks. Plus CL16 is generally more expensive.

Exact match for the set I had already. No issues installing and system recognized them without an issue. Amazon's packaging left much to be desired. They shipped it in a plastic bag with no protection, other than the OEM box. Box was damaged but the RAM survived intact. Both the bag and box were punctured, but the plastic tray inside was not. I got lucky. Did not knock a star off for it, because Corsair didn't ship it. Amazon did.

I have been looking for reliable RGB mems for my Ryzen 2700 and B350 mobo and so far these are the most stable at DDR4-3600 speed. I will update this review as I go along with the testing. So far it passed 3DMark TimeSpy, Furmark and couple hours of OCCT and Prime95.I have gotten ones with Micron B-Die chips for those eager overclockers out there. I will try to OC these guys and see how far it will go. This is a good investment if you are planning to switch to 3rd gen Ryzen with a more capable X570 board.Love the design and colors of these modules, they are bright and pleasing to the eyes.--------Update:I managed to tame these beast to DDR4-3600 @ 16-18-18-1T =DCan go DDR4-3800 but only bench-stable so above will be my daily setting.

Works great with my AMD 2700 X, Aorus 1080TI extreme. Was able to lower the timings a little bit from the XMP profile give me a couple percent improvement in benchmarks. Good performance around.

I got the originals and everyone I turned on A-XMP, it would POST but it wouldn’t run games for long until it crashes. Lights would turn red and stay like that until I turned off ICUE. I then found this n decided to give it a shot n if anything I can return it or keep it for extra ram. THANK GOD, because I plugged these in and optimized A-XMP to 3600mhz and it worked so so well! No red lights, 3600mhz displayed and game doesn’t crash AT ALL!!! Recommend it for AMD Users!

Simple installation and excellent performance. My mainboard can handle up to 128GB of DDR4 so I would like to upgrade, but as for right now 32GB of RAM is enough.I like the ARGB which brightens up the computer. The case I am using is also Corsair (iCUE 465X RGB Mid-Tower ATX Smart Case) and by using the iCUE v5.10.82 software I am able to customize the colors and lighting effects of the ARGB RAM as well as the 6 chassis fans in the case.
