I bought a new PC which had the gaming version of this memory (complete with fairy lights). If that’s not your thing then this is a cheaper alternative which is simple to install for even the most novice of users.
As with all memory, make sure this one is compatible with your PC. I’ve had this RAM installed for a couple of months now and the speed increase with noticeable and they have been trouble-free. Excellent value for money from a trusted manufacturer.
Previously owned the same ram but 2x8gb 3200 mhz and decided to upgrade to 2x16gb 3600mhz and been running it just over a day now and seems great. Purchased it for future proofing and in the hopes certain games like Arma 3 might run better and it certainly does. Everything is much smoother, only side note is you will need to manually change the ram speed in BIOS to the correct one you purchase as it might set lower like mine did but it’s simple to do. If you have a profile set for ram I disabled it in BIOS and re enabled it then it made the correct changes as for some reason it was set to my old ram profile.
As this isn’t an Apple device, I was very sceptical about it working especially given the difference in price. However we’ve had this for a month and now and it charges Apple and android devices equally well. You have to get it in the right place in the back, but I think that’s for all table charges. Recommend.
Pairs really nice with the Ryzen 4500 for a budget system running jellyfin and usual daily tasks.
No problem handling emulation paired with a 2070 super (don’t be expecting mgs4 @ 4k60) it blitzes PS2, GameCube and handles any game except the most modern at high resolutions and 60fps.
All in all a nice ram kit at a great price in 2023.
I decided to go for 16GB of ram for my new buide on a budget and thought this was good value for the speed and capacity. I think the heatsinks on the modules look good and are relatively low profile. 16GB is a little too much for your average user, 8GB is usually enough but it means I got plenty of headroom to run lots of applications.
Was surprised how good the ram was for the price ruing duel channel at 3200mhz would of liked the 32Gb at the 16 is really good once you start ruing games then open a web page it starts to reach 80% it’s really good for running tasks playing games or web browsing tryed de compression on a 3Gb file it was responsive if you want more flexibility I would get the 32 Gb it’s good ram quick
I bought this to bring my system up from 16GB of Ram to 32GB.
It’s cheap and really does the job, I find Corsair RAM to normally be pretty good for me, or maybe that’s my luck. If you can get it for a solid price I’d always say yes, especially if you are looking to boost your AM4 System’s longevity.
I recently upgraded my computer’s RAM with the Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This RAM has truly taken my computing experience to a whole new level, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.

With this RAM, you can unleash the full potential of your computer, whether you’re a gamer, content creator, or simply a power user. I highly recommend this RAM to anyone seeking a top-notch upgrade for their system.
I ended up buying two lots of this as I wanted a good size of memory for my digital photography and this has so far been a perfect choice. Can’t make any recommendations regarding gaming other than it does not have flashing multi-coloured lights or go faster stripes but my PC has been 100% stable and not missed a beat.
When I buy computer bits and bobs I take my time. Took me 2-3 months to make my mind up. I got 16 gig of this memory and found it worked that good once set up I went and bought another 16 gig. So I’ll have 32 gig running at full speed 3200mhz.
I’m over the Moon with ths Memory and I would totally recommend this to anyone up grading their system.
For the price you can’t go wrong. Such a good brand name you can rely on.
Gets a top score and I hadly give this to anything but this Memory gets 10-10 for sure. Well worth it.
Edited to change something. I fixed it via the Bios update for the Motherboard.
Bought these for my new pc I was building which was also my first time building one. They were great, super easy to install and were more compact than I was expecting. Exceeded my expectations. Would definitely recommend when on a budge
I have two sets of the 8×2 kits . I’ve read some reviews and they state they can’t get 3200 Mhz XMP that is probably because they haven’t enabled dual channel mode.
This is why you should always read the manual.
As I’m using a R7 2700X on a Aorus Elite X570 (Rev 1.0).
The following step is for AM4 boards only:
Ram MUST be added in this order: A2 (always first), B2, A1, B1 (see uploaded image).
I bought the first kit last year (6th October 2019) and the second kit this year (3rd Jun 2020) along with 2 other kits – 1 has been used in a B450 Mortar Max Build for a relative. The other I have kept as both a spare and upgrade kit for aforesaid relative – All 4 kits are the exact same.
I have run the RAM on XMP at 3200 Mhz on a single set of 8×2 without any issues hence 3 more subsequent purchases of the exact same kit and version number. XMP always set the ram 1.35 volts and with the +0.030 it ends up at 1.380 volts… much too higher for my liking. The kits I’ve got – the two sets I’ve used have the same behaviour – perfectly happy at 1.280 volts.
But using the XMP profile puts the ram at 1.35 volts and the motherboard adds a plus offset of 0.030 volts. So the ram ends up fluctuating between 1.38 volts and 1.35 volts, 99.9% of the time stuck 1.38 volts.. a tad too high for my liking as I plan to keep these RAM kits for a loooong time.
Given that the memory controller is on the CPU and the infinity fabric is tied to the memory controller on Zen + (Plus Zen + CPUs are poor overclockers compared to Zen 2) I had to settle for 2733 Mhz with 4 x 8 (with a little loose timings) and any higher I will have to reduce the overclock the CPU or increase the voltage on the CPU and RAM to avoid memory errors. Additionally, any higher than 2933 Mhz on 4 sticks the latency penalty is quite noticeable, on 2 sticks is there is hardly any which is why it’s always recommended to use XMP on two sticks.
Additionally the RAM is also currently undervolted to 1.290 volts with a motherboard offset of +0.030 volts / -0.054 (this cannot be adjusted). On reduced loads motherboard drops it down to 1.236 volts (lowest I’ve seen).
The R7 2700X is overclocked to 4050 All Core with a drastic undervolt, this gives both thermal headroom for sustained loads and very low idle temps with the Artic Freezer 34 Esports (single fan) – see hwinfo (current ambient temp 24.7 degrees celsius). Additionally, my room becomes too hot with stock or higher voltage and given last summer was extremely hot…
You may wondering why is CPU VDDP18 is at 1.6 – that is the lowest I can set it in the BIOS and PM_1V8 at 1.6 volts, that is the lowest I can set without needing to clear the BIOS (default for both settings is 1.8 volts and that’s perfectly normal apparently from what I found looking for the information I’ve come across on the web).
I can overclock it higher but the ultimately the performance difference is not all that and there are stability issues albeit very few and far in between crashes but they are crashes never the less (see Cinebench results).
During the past year of getting my PC to a point in terms of stability and peformance I have seen some bizzare things lol… See the last two screenshots.
The motherboard automagically overclocked the CPU to 4261.89 and the ram to 3253 roflmao… I’ve seen this happen several times and I only had a usb stick plugged on two occassions hence only two screenshots.
Yes, I’m aware I could have saved some money by getting slower sticks than 3200 and sticking them at 2733 and gotten tighter timings. For me that would be a waste of money as I plan to upgrade to Zen 2 or Zen 3 in the future and when I did I’d have have 32 gigs of ram lying around without much use as by then DDR5 will be out and there would be effectively zero demand for low speed DDR4s. So I’d be better off getting decent kits that can overclock decently and last me two or three CPU generations.
All in all, these are decent kits – highly recommended.
