Review on πŸ’» Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz Desktop Memory – Black by Douglas First

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A smoking heap of handsome trash.

I'll start by saying that this is honestly the nicest RAM out there and for the most part it works well for gaming or normal PC tasks, but when it doesn't it's just a terrible experience. I first assembled my computer in November and installed the exact same Crucial Ballistix 16GB 3600 cl16 ddr4 kit in it and never had a crash or any problems. It was until I changed it to this one and it immediately BSODed frequently for the first few days after I used and played it. Not enough to keep me from playing but enough to annoy me and again I never had a game crash or BSOD on my computer before purchasing this kit. They even sent me a replacement set and the same. It's not necessarily a deal breaker, but I've never had the issue. This leaves you running Mem-Test and SFC to find nothing, and tearing your hair out for a few hours trying to troubleshoot issues that shouldn't be there. I returned it to upgrade to a 32gb kit and at the same time again while not expecting any issues from Crucial but the only reason I switched was for the aesthetics which I think looks the best, it's up to you if you want potential headaches. .

Pros
  • Custom PCB for highest signal quality and stable performance.
Cons
  • Appearance
