Corsair Vengeance PC4 28800 Optimized Memory Review

Great RAM at a great price but not compatible with ASUS AURA, at least for now. At least on the x570 chipset. I am using ASUS Strix-E MOBO and ASUS Aura does not recognize the modules. I'm working on some OC for MEM, will post results soon. ** Works with ASUS Sync - iCue The instructions aren't clear, but after digging deeper I'll get it working.

After a lot of fiddling and troubleshooting I managed to tame this beast. My build consists of a Ryzen 3600 and a B450 Tomahawk. The B450 Tomahawk's maximum RAM speed was supposed to be 3466MHz, but I managed to get it running at the 3600MHz speed the RAM was supposed to run at. At first it was in RAM slots 1 and 3 and it wouldn't boot and froze at 2133MHz. However when I moved it to the 2nd and 4th slot it worked great.

I accidentally bought an Intel optimized version of this RAM but just drove around with it. I mean how different can they be? Well, different enough not to run at the full 3600MHz frequency the kit was designed for. Thanks also to Corsair Technical Support for explaining the differences in a simple and professional way. In order to impart the knowledge imparted, the differences lie in the internal circuitry of the chips. (single rank, dual rank, component specifications, etc.) and can cause…

I've been looking for reliable RGB memes for my Ryzen 2700 and B350 mobile devices and so far they're the most stable at DDR4-3600 speeds. I will update this review as testing progresses. So far it has passed 3DMark TimeSpy, Furmark and several hours of OCCT and Prime95 tests. I bought processors with Micron B-Die chips for those who love overclocking. I'll try to get ahead of these guys and see how far it goes. It's a good investment if you're considering an upgrade to Ryzen 3rd Gen with the…

Seriously, let's be honest. They buy this because it has nice lights on top. Don't get me wrong - it is. Honestly, you could buy the regular version cheaper and save some money for a better component elsewhere. If you don't care about aesthetics, then you're done. Ram: Corsair has a good reputation and the RAM is tested when I have it installed on my system. While overclocking is possible, it's not worth it here unless you're an enthusiast/hobbyist. The performance gain is essentially not…

I bought these for my kid's budget gaming system and the system doesn't POST above 3200 instead of 3600+ which I thought I was paying for. The processor is a Ryzen 3600 and the mobile device is an ASUS TUF x570. The motherboard may be to blame as the RAM setup seems very limited compared to what I'm used to. The RGB lighting is impressive enough for my 3rd grader and easy enough to control with iCUE software, which can be downloaded from Corsair's website. (Has yet to be tested with ASUS Aura…
