Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 MHz C15 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black, 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)

I've always stuck with Corsair as they are very good quality and don't have any problems, and this ram continues that honour. When building my first PC I purchased one stick of 16GB which isn't recommended (I did this mainly for future proofing) but worked great, now jumping 3 years ahead I've purchased 3 more sticks and haven't had any faults. The setup for these RAM sticks is very simple as they just need clicking into place and running the computer, sometimes when installing it would give a popup saying it needed to adjust the computer for the new sticks but didn't take long to get running. I went for the 3000Mhz set and found them pretty quick for general use, gaming, streaming etc. After checking my bios I found they were running at 2800mhz by default which can be changed to run at full speed however after researching I found that the computer will set the best speed for it when installing. Generally, I find these Corsair RAM sticks super simple which is great if you don't want to overcomplicate one of the more simple components of a computer. There isn't any software to install or customise the RAM, it just works. Appearance wise there not as flashy as other more expensive sticks however they are still clean looking and blend with a matching colour motherboard very well. These usually go on deals around Black Friday or Prime Day, which the deals are exceptionally good. Overall I can recommend these RAM sticks, for the price they are excellent. Very simple but works well.

This review is about the CORSAIR Vengeance LPX-16gb RAM 3000 Mhz (C15) These were coupled with an Ryzen 5 2600 and a MSI B450 Tomahawk. It worked greatly and without any problems, was easy to input into the motherboard and came packaged neatly and safely. It also looks good in your system with a black or white setup although it doesn’t come with RGB. This informational review is aimed for new PC builders. Therefore, if you are already knowledgeable in RAM there is no need to continue. 1. (C15) refers to CAS Latency, which is how quickly your RAM responds to a command, you really won't see a difference at all between CL15 and CL16 although you will notice C15 is considerably more expensive as it is better in synthetic bench marks but you wouldn’t notice this in real world performance. Therefore get whichever one you want. 2. Mhz refers to how fast the RAM performs. The speed of a computer processor, or CPU, is determined by the clock cycle. Computer processors can execute one or more instructions per clock cycle, depending on the type of processor. Therefore the higher Mhz the Ram outputs, the faster the RAM can perform tasks. (3000-3200Mhz is considered the sweet spot for mid-higher end workstation + gaming), any beyond this is overkill for your average needs and unecessary money spent. 3. GB refers to Gigabytes: Some computer programs, especially Windows, uses RAM to swap frequently loaded programs back and forth, it makes the computer seem to run faster. Therefore in simple terms, the higher the GB the more tasks your system can perform at once before it starts slowing down your machine. Recap: What you want in your system for your needs 1. Higher GB 8GB is standard for workstation purposes and light gaming. 16 GB recommended/a must for medium to higher end gaming. 32 GB is for higher end computers, and unecessary unless you are doing a very heavy work load at once which requires it. (More GB = More tasks your machine can run at once) 2. Mhz (3000-3200 is the sweet spot, nothing more is required unless necessary for your use). 3. Brand Brands make their ram different. However Corsair is known for its tech, are very reputable and trustworthy, therefore they are a company you can depend on that make good quality products. 4. (CAS Latency) Latency won’t be an issue, get which ever one is labelled cheaper as long as it has any of the above I mentioned. Happy building!

I like Corsair, they are great value and give good reliability and performance. It's not a bad idea to test your devices memory every few months for errors and there is free software on the web to do that. These modules make a very good replacement option, should you find you need them. Remember that you have to match module types to existing modules, to ensure they are both motherboard compatible and able to combine with others. These are DDR4 3000MHz, so make sure that these are compatible with your system.

I got the 16gb (2x8) 3000mhz kit as an upgrade, as I was previously on 8GB RAM clocked at 2133mhz when I originally built my PC. Whilst my current mobo doesn't go over 2133mhz (unless in XMP for 2400 I think, I leave it off anyway), the dual channel support is still there. Overall, even though I've only used this new kit for half a day, they are very smooth and much better than the 8gb I was on. Before, when I was playing games such as Battlefront 2 or Black Desert Online, I would suffer huge stuttering when in areas with a lot going on, due to the nature of the games, however I'm able to play them just fine now with the extra 8gb of RAM compared to before, even if I'm not fully utilizing the speeds offered by the sticks. Figured it would better to get these sticks with these speeds, for when I eventually make the jump to Ryzen and upgrade the mobo, to adjust for the higher RAM speeds used by Ryzen and the recent-ish price drops to RAM in general making the purchase more viable. Anyway, before I get derailed too much, great sticks, easy installation, prompt delivery from Amazon. I'd probably reccommend 16gb of RAM, over just 8gb, if you're planning on playing recent games (or VR games) as 8gb just isn't enough anymore.

Bought this RAM as a gift and it worked perfectly. Installation was quick and easy, and it was recognised straight away with no issues. The system runs smoothly and performance is noticeably better. Very happy with the purchase. Great quality and reliable.

Only doing review to get it off my review list Its a bad time to do a review but when ram was fairly inexpensive, these sticks are like thr spare wheel. Solid but lacks the prettiness. Would recommend for closed builds

I got my luck to get this one,good quality

Minne började fungera på en gång så fort installerades den i en ganska nyckfull dator!

Very good product and it serves its purpose. I had no issues. Thanks!

Ram came as specified, both modules ran without any issues, performs better than expected and advertised at 3266 Mhz C14. Works flawlessly with my Ryzen 2700x system. Ram has improved performance and multitasking capability.

Rien à redire sur ces mémoires sans failles et directement reconnues par carte mémoire. Merci Amazon, barette venant d'Italie en 24 heures chrono.

Compre estas memorias para ampliar la capacitad de mi Pc y de momento van muy bien. Fácil de instalar y buena velocidad. Muy recomendables
