Review on 💡 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB DDR4 3200MHz C16 LED Memory - White: Superior Performance and Stunning Illumination by Justin Woolley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

RGB LEDs can cause unusual errors with iCUE

The last item with multiple blinking lights was my toy robot. when I was 4 years old. The fascination with RGB LEDs with flashing lights on every computer component seems downright silly for the most part. I only bought this particular model because I needed two 32GB sticks and have used the Corsair Vengeance in the past with good results. I installed them correctly and they work great on my Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390 motherboard. By default, the LEDs are set to a slow "breathing" cycle, changing hue about every 5 seconds. If you want full control over your LEDs, you'll have to use Corsair's monstrous iCUE program, which probably causes #### more problems than it fixes. I went into iBloat and set the LEDs to show the dimmer temperature reading so I could tell if they were too hot. As soon as I made this adjustment, the voltage regulator on my Corsair HX1200i PSU started clicking. Two days later I'm still troubleshooting LED's (HX1200i has been working reliably for over 2 years). When the LEDs are off, the clicks disappear. I'm still playing around trying to find a compromise. Keep for updates.

Pros
  • SPD voltage: 1.2V
Cons
  • not reliable
