Corsair CMK16GX4M2C3000C16 Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4-24000) C16 1.35V Desktop Memory Black

This memory kit needs some more love in the reviews. For me, it's been a perfect choice for memory on the X99 platform. By running at 2666 MHz, it allows you to stay at 100 BCLK speed, which makes overclocking your CPU much easier, and it does that speed at just 1.2v. As a bonus, it also comes with a 2800 speed, which is selectable via XMP in the BIOS. For both speeds, all the necessary timings are pre-programmed in with the XMP profiles.I purchased two separate kits, for a combined total of 64 GB (the max addressable for a Core i7-5820K) in my MSI X99 Krait. Typically you're supposed to get one single kit for best compatibility, but even though I mixed two kits they worked perfectly together. I just filled up all 8 slots, went in to the BIOS and selected XMP Profile #1 for 2666, and everything worked the first boot up. No voltage, timing, or System Agent tweaks were needed, and all DIMMs passed MemTest with no errors. I need the full 64 GB to run multiple virtualizations for software testing, and haven't regretted maxing out the memory.Another plus: these are low-profile DIMMs, which becomes very important if you have large air coolers. These memory sticks should fit under any CPU coolers on the market. Also, no sharp edges on the heatsinks make them easy to push down to insert and seat properly.Finally, although it's very subjective, I really appreciate the understated look of this product and their black aluminum heatsinks, without having ridiculous claws/teeth/protrusions coming out everywhere and frightening small children. These modules should match with any computer case theme you might have.I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

It's a nice set with affordable price on the available clock frequency. It was installed in an ASUS X99 Deluxe (bios version 2101)which already had a set of 4 x 4GB 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance. When installed the 4 new modules at once my computer was not turning on, with beeps diagnosing "no memory present". So I took all of them out from motherboard and started turning on putting one by one module until they where recognized by bios. I got some errors in the meantime until I realized it could be dust on the MoBo connectors. A contact cleaning spray was used and finally got all 8 modules working like charm. I don't like to overclock computers since for my regular work it's useless and not stressing the system is something that I care, since already had to RMA one of my R9-390X (2 in crossfire) and the motherboard itself. So, in conclusion this is a very nice set of memories but I haven't pushed them to boundaries.

I love corsair vengeance Ram. I have been using it in my builds for a while and i just recently got some of the LPX RGB Ram and it is gorgeous.This ram performs just as well and overclocks very easily via XMP. It is very well made and if you look at the plethora of reviews you will see it is made to last and performs really well.I have not had bad luck with corsair ram in the last 7 years and honestly see no reason to switch.I was interested in the Trident Z RGB but there were too many negative reviews with it crashing or causing SPD issues. And i only wanted that RAM because i liked the RGB style it had. But goes to show you, always choose performance over cosmetics!!

I normally only buy Kingston or G.Skill memory, but this was recommended for the i7 8700K CPU. I ran a memory test, and both chips were good. The memory clocked at the rated speed with a simple click in the BIOS. The chips look very nice in this build, which is clean, understated and professional. This is a powerful desktop built for longevity, not gaming. It would look awesome in any office setting, and should perform well for many years to come. Black and yellow is a little different from my normal black and red or black and blue builds, but it turned out looking as beautiful as it runs.

I recently upgraded my computer, I purchased a B350 PC Mate motherboard, Ryzen 5 1400, and Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK8GX4M2B3000C15). The memory works fine with a XMP profile at 2933Mhz. Tried to add the same memory to bring my total to 16GB, but was having issues on start. I lowered the frequency to 2133Mhz and the system started up fine, and in the System settings the 16GB of ram, was showing. Was having sporadic issues, decided to change back to 8GB and an XMP of 2933Mhz.My advice is to check your motherboards memory compatibility list, before buying memory, to avoid the headaches you might encounter.

Ok the prices of RAM in 2017 and 2018 our out-to-lunch. But! I was still able to build a complete budget system for my mom on her birthday. I chose FAST RAM! these were the 3200mhz variant. Only 8gb but that is what she needs for browsing the web and productivity/office computing. Ram works great with Ryzen 2200g processor and we have had no issues since the day we loaded windows. Very happy with these sticks that I just ordered the RGB variant for my next Ryzen build :)

XMP profile worked out of the box in a GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 motherboard. The bios was updated to F21 or F22 prior to installing my CPU.Dual-channel 3000, 2x4GBOne thing I noticed, BIOS recognized the XMP profile and my timings at CAS15 (the rating physically listed on the sticks), but Ryzen Master and CPU-Z present my sticks as CAS 16. Not entirely sure which is accurate, but I’m just happy these actually worked without any tweaks out of the box, considering Ryzen’s memory compatibility issues.

After a while of testing, one of the two sticks i bought caused BSOD but other than that I have no reasons to complain because my buddy upgraded his computer and just so happened to have this exact same Ram and it works perfectly fine now that I've swapped out the faulty stick! Either way I highly recommend this brand and this buyer and will give this a solid 4 stars! :)

When upgrading my PC I did a lot of research into good quality products that do not break the bank. This appears to be one of them.Even though the PC is closed and does not have glass sides, I still find this RAM to be aesthetically pleasing, and looks great when opening the case for repairs or upgrades.VENGEANCE LPX memory is designed for high-performance overclocking. The heatspreader is made of pure aluminum for faster heat dissipation, and the eight-layer PCB helps manage heat and provides superior overclocking headroom.The VENGEANCE LPX heat spreader optimally pulls heat away from the ICs and into your system’s cooling path, so you can push it harder.I have overclocked my PC (not too much) and this RAM aides in providing stability, I have no crashes of BSOD when overclocking, although I have not pushed it too far.I find this RAM great for gaming and generally good to add stability to the PC. I would recommend

Went for this with a Ryzen 5 1600 and Asus ROG Strix B350-F mobo... really straight forward to install and have had total stability for several weeks now with excellent performance... upgraded to a Samsung SSD 500gb drive about a month before rebuilding the rest. Reused a 750w psu, old case and Saphire graphics card which will look to upgrade next. Use windows 10 which of course is great... this is the most cost effective way of keeping my systems current and is reasonably fun to do...

Takes a bit of messing about with to get them to clock at 3GHZ rather than defaulting to 2133mhz but that could have been down to the MSI motherboard I was using, have changed to a GIGAbyte one and they seem to be stable at 3ghz now, but again if you are torn between 2133 and these hoping for 2933 the difference is marginal in real world performance.Again Corsair are great, but MSI in particular don't do a great job of supporting XMP memory profiles.

This was the perfect RAM to get when building my gaming PC, it offers a great spot between being affordable and having the performance to keep up with the demanding games. Being from Corsair then that means that you are getting a high-quality product with the warranties in place. I was able to overclock this RAM as well, which just goes to show that they are well made, and I have never had an issue with this. The design is nice, it will go with any PC build which goes for a nice modern look.

Easy to install, once i'd worked out how to unfold the innards of my pc.. started up with no problems. PC recognised the change of memory, and continued with no problems. Seems to be stable. The only odd thing is that in the Task Manager, it doesn't actually state what sort of memory it is; just that there's 64gb of it. O_o .. Anyway I seeeriously sped up Lightroom, which was the main reason for the purchase. If things change, I'll update the review. :)
