Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)

To people who dont really know to much about ram, the speed it says it is, is the speed it is rated for. This doesnt mean you will put it in your motherboard, fire it up and it be 3000 MHz. You will need to run a profile from someone else, or learn how to efficiently overclock memory, which can be fairly confusing. Im not going to go any more in depth with it. Its great, it works for sure. Went from DDR3 to this. But in the DDR3 days, you got the memory at this speed that was advertised. I dont know why DDR4 is advertised like this. There are probably so many people who thing their ram is running at 3000 MHz yet its only at 2133 MHz, not their fault tho.

Review

Easy installment and they worked great

It stores bits of memory as expected.

When this ram first came out it was $250+. I just bought two packages of these. At half that. One of the packs, both ram sticks were faulty. One was working, but was causing the PC to crash until the ram died entirely, the other prevented the PC from posting entirely.

Enabled XMP in the BIOS(Z170 chipset), booted just fine at the advertised XMP speed of 2666MHz with CAS latency of 16.

The product works great and it looks good too!

Performance as expected

Doesn’t go up to advertised speeds. Bought the 2x8gb 3000 one and the XMP profile does not work despite being supported by my motherboard. After manual tweaking, the best it can do is 2666
