Review on πŸ’‘ Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB DDR4 3200MHz C16 LED Memory - White: Superior Performance and Stunning Illumination by Jon Robertson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

iCue is memory malware

iCue is required for RGB setup but can be used for almost anything. It is aggressive, can take up over 1GB and stealthily installs 5-7 programs that consume resources and can noticeably slow down performance on budget installs. All I wanted was to change the damn RGB lighting, little did I know that buying this RAM would expose me to unwanted monitoring and marketing from Corsair. These modules are also high-end and incompatible with a number of popular aftermarket CPU coolers that are difficult to figure out with hindsight. I'm returning these sticks now, RGB is overpriced and not worth the crap just for the sake of the RAM. Corsair is done too, they are too greedy and let me down last time.

Pros
  • next generation software. Heatsink - Anodized aluminum
Cons
  • Not everything fits
