Pros: -Fast memory. -Great value for your dollar -Very vibrant full RGB goodness -Supposed to work with iCue (see cons) -Works fine with another set of RAM

Cons: -iCue software would not recognize the sticks. This means there is no way to change the lighting....or even turn it off. There are times at night when the sticks are a just too darn bright.

Overall Review: I Installed this into and Asus based i7-7700k system. They defaulted to 1600MHz (DDR3200) but operated fine. I changed the XMP profile in the UEFI to a listed 1800MHz (DDR3600) and it booted up just fine at their rated speeds. The RAM ran great on the performance end and Corsair RAM has always been solid for me. The RGB lighting is amazing as usual. Very bright and vibrant colors with nice smooth switching. But here we run into the caveat, but for some it could be a big one. I could not get this to show up in iCue. This is a real issue because this means you can't even turn the lighting off. There are times when I need darkness and while it is great that these are vibrant, there needs to be a way to tone it down. I ran an update on iCue to no avail and when I add two other sticks, those show up but never these two. The RAM states it should work so I hope Corsair is working this issue out, but I had to take a star off for it, for now. So now I have these two running with two other sticks of Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB running at DDR3200 speeds and they are playing well together. If Corsair can fix this detection issue or I find a fix, I will be sure to come back and update. That would make this a five star all day. Thanks!

Pros: I installed this memory in a Z590 motherboard. I enabled the XMP profile and the Ram ran at its rated spec of DDR4-3600 with 18-22-22-42 1T timings. I downloaded Cordair's iCUE v 4.16.194 software to control the patterns and colors and frequency of the light pattern changes of the rams lighting functions. The software worked fine. I did wanted to see if I could overclock the rams frequency to 4000MHz but I could only get 3866MHz. 4000 was not even possible at 1.60v. I also wanted to see how low I could lower the rams CAS Latency. I was able to lower it substantially to CL14 (See Attached Pic). CL14 was attained with 1.55v

Cons: There is nothing not to like with this ram. The ram runs as advertised. Though it does not like to be ran quicker than 3600MHz, it does allow for its timings to be substantially lowered.

Overall Review: The ram provides great value for its price. iCUE works on the ram so you can change the RGB lighting colors, pattern, and the frequency of the pattern. I would recommend this memory for someone looking to purchase ram rated for 3600MHz

Pros: The Corsair Vengeance RS has a good heatsink and remains at good temperature even when stressing the system, providing that you have good cool airflow & exhaust in place. IF you are already using iCUE for other various devices then you have easy control over their aRGB LEDs. as with any decent kit, has an easy to set XMP profile.

Cons: without Corsair's iCUE software the LEDs have a garish default un-synced rainbow effect that cannot be disabled. the 3200MHz kits only offer CAS Latency of 16 or 18.

Overall Review: over the last few months i have tried over & over to lower CAS Latency by raising voltage up to ~1.38v but they just do not operate at anything below 16. i was able to get the core speed up to 3333MHz but that amount of difference vs 3200MHz @ 16 CL is undetectable performance-wise. neither ASUS' Armoury Crate/Aura or MSI's Mystic Light could recognize and control the LEDs on this kit. but to be fair Corsair doesn't claim they are compatible with anything but iCUE. they are lower profile than some available kits so may help with CPU cooler clearance, but definitely not "low profile" so be careful to measure & compare before purchasing. if not looking for the best performance available and/or if you are another Corsair obsessive these could be a good kit. but if you do use other Corsair RGB products and do not want extra bloatware just to control your RAM LEDs i would recommend looking for a better option.

Pros: Solid performance for gaming and productivity. Attractive RGB Lighting. (Photo shows lights synchronized on the two modules, but you can reverse it so they display as opposites, plus other effects.) iCUE software can also control a variety of other Corsair RGB devices, so much you could do an entire Christmas light show if you have fans, keyboard, LED strips, cooler, etc.

Cons: Some Ryzen CPUs may benefit from tighter timings. RAM modules may not fit under large air coolers. Check clearances before ordering!

Overall Review: Pleased to report this memory offers stable results every way it's been tested. Several years ago we had a kit of Corair Vengeance that was DOA. This current offering appears to be a solid design. If you're using this RAM with an Intel CPU you may notice only a little difference in performance between default speed and XMP. Ryzen CPUs, however, will likely benefit more noticeably from the XMP setting when gaming as well as certain productivity apps. In games, for example, the memory speed and timing may not matter much on low to medium graphics settings, but if you crank up the graphics detail then 3200 MHz /CAS 16 will definitely give you smoother gameplay by avoiding the telltale micro-stutter you experience when running sub-optimal speed/timings. If you indulge in video editing or high-res photo work you'll appreciate the faster rendering you get with XMP enabled. (Shoutout here to Kyler C. for his valuable assistance in testing and photographs.) Overall, then, a good choice for Ryzen and Intel systems.

Pros: Fast, Cool, ICUE support

Cons: None its Ram.

Overall Review: Been using the Corsair Vengeance RGB in my main rig now for over a month. Ram works great. The Ram works at advertised speeds, the heatspeader is nice and well built and very effective at keeping the Ram cool. The main reason you buy this Ram is because of the Corsair ICUE support. The LED like all Corsair ARGB lighting has a nice soft glow (IE not overtly bright) which I love you can enjoy all the colors without turning your rig/room into a disco ball. Loading the ICUE software allows for some of the easiest way to coordinate all your RGB in you build. So if you own a Corsair AIO water cooler, or a Corsair case you can adjust all lighting with a few clicks. This type of all around integration and ease of access is what makes the Corsair Vengeance RGB attractive to anyone who already own other Corsair products, or just want nice looking Ram. You dont need other Corsair products to enjoy it. So you get great Ram that works at advertised speeds, backed by a great warranty, but you get access to the whole Corsair ICUE software suite. So as you add more products you can continue adjust lighting throughout your build. Buy, install, open bios and enable the memory profile and you are good to go. Beautiful lighting to compliment you build. Great build quality, great warranty, all by a brand thats been winning consumers over for decades.

Pros: Completely customizable lighting scheme. Adjustable brightness. Solid color distribution. Solid performance. Extremely well build and has a quality feel.

Cons: Absolutely none to speak of. They clocked perfectly out of the box and performed very well. However they are a little bulky if that was to bother you.

Overall Review: In my personal opinion these are the perfect ram sticks if you are looking for a lighted option. The build quality is top notch and the overall appearance of the sticks are great. They look fantastic in a glass case and are really a nice addition to any machine. One thing that I really noticed was how uniformly the color is dispersed through the sticks. There were no hot spots or cool spots on the sticks in regards to color. Some of the custom lighting options really shine when 4 sticks are used together. That would be my only recommendation is that if you wanted to take full advantage of the lighting, you should use 4 sticks in your board. Overall, these are fantastic sticks if you are doing a RGB build. Fully customizable and tunable to get that perfect color matching option. They really are of a great build quality and really feel premium. I would highly recommend them.
