CorsairVengeance LPX 64GB DDR4 2666 C16 for DDR4 Systems - White

I'm not rating this on the part itself, but rather the misleading product listing.This product is listed as: CORSAIR VENGEANCELPX16GB (2X 8GB) DDR4 3600(PC4-28800) C16 1.35V Desktop MemoryPart number is: CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18When I received the part, I noticed the C18 on the back of the box. I checked it with Corsair's site and sure enough it is listed as 3600 C18. I thought that the wrong part was sent but it turns out that this is the right part but it's C18 and not C16.

After a lot of tinkering and playing guys I figured it out with some help. I could not get the memory to run at 3200, it would just default back to something lower. Posting this information here for anyone that is struggling like I was! Enjoy and hope it works for you all.Final numbers:16, 18, 18, 18, 36Voltage 1.35Frequency 3200MSI B350 Tomahawk + Ryzen 1700x running at 3.9GHZ 1.425V

I got this for my Ryzen build, hearing that it uses Samsung B-Die which is the best compatible memory chips with Ryzen. Unfortunately my particular kit uses Hynix chips, which has the worst compatibility!I can't get it to run 3200MHz no matter what I do. So if you can, you probably had Samsung chips.If you want to check you can download a program called Thaiphoon that lets you know what chips you have on your RAM.Suffice it to say that I'm sorely disappointed, but it's not necessarily the RAMs fault.

I can confirm that I am successfully running the  Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - White (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W)  on a MSI B350 Tomahawk at 3200Mhz. After MSI updated the BIOS on 4/26 I was able to achieve that speed. Before the update, I was able to get it to 2933Mhz. In BIOS I have the speed set to 3200 and the clocks set to 16 18 18 18 36 and the RAM voltage set to AUTO. When I manually set the voltage to 1.350 it did not work. Anyway, hoping this info is helpful for other buyers and obviously, I'm giving this RAM 5 stars for working as intended with my motherboard.UPDATE 5/11/17: I have lowered the speed to 2933Mhz. Several memory tests I ran were showing errors when running at 3200Mhz whereas the 2933Mhz is error free. I am running the latest BIOS (B350 TOMAHAWK (MS-7A34) V1.5 BIOS Release). Will retest at a higher speed when new BIOS updates come out.

So even as an experienced PC builder, I made a fairly critical error when buying this memory. Nothing that damaged the system or anything. Hell, it didn't even fail to boot. The memory itself installed perfectly fine and the system posted without an issue.Upon booting into Windows though, I noticed the memory was running at only 2133MHz which is quite a bit lower than what I paid extra for. Figured the motherboard just didn't detect the higher speed. Not entirely uncommon. So I went into the UEFI Bios and enabled the XMP profile which automatically detected the memory, adjusted the voltage, etc. Promising stuff. That was until I saved and restarted the computer. It failed to post three times before dipping into safe-mode.Mind you I'm using a Prime X70-Pro, so I decided to check the QVL for the board and was disappointed to see it wasn't listed under Ryzen 2nd Gen support. Massive oversight on my part. Fortunately Amazon is cool about returning it for a kit supported by the motherboard, but I'm writing this on the off chance I could save someone else the hassle.Long story short: Check your motherboards QVL for compatibility with the CPU you're planning on installing in it. The system will absolutely boot and run perfectly fine. But if you're paying the extra premium for 3200MHz memory and the board doesn't support it, you're literally throwing your money away.Again, for clarification. Nothing was physically wrong with the memory and I whole heartedly admit this was a mistake on my part. I'm only posting this to hopefully save someone else the inconvenience of my rookie mistake.

Yes ladies and gentlemen .. I got a piece of plywood instead of RAM in the ram box. Box was sealed too. I'm speechless. Can you imagine building your beloved PC that you waited for. Getting your parts piece by piece in the mail. Finally start building and BOOM plywood instead of ram.Anyways I found the plywood not compatible with my Ryzen system. Serves me right for getting AMD I guess.PS: Amazon refunded the purchase to me immediately. But I'm still without a PC and waiting for new ram :)

Bought this 32GB Kit for my Gaming PC/Hackintosh Build. Everything seemed to work fine, sometimes programs crashed, but i thought it would have to do with my configuration or the BIOS or anything else. After i couldn't figure out what was going on, I invested in a hardware tester program (TechTool Pro 9 for OSX). Turns out one of the Memmory moduls is faulty. I t doesn't even pass the first test. The second one runs fine... Not a big Deal i thought, I just contact the vendor and ask for a replacement... Here comes the thing: On April 5th the RAM was delivered. I discovered the faulty RAM on June 5th. The order gives me these infos when trying to contact for return or support:"Return window closed on May 5, 2018 Product support window closed on Jun 4, 2018"I am literally on my own, because it took me too long to discover that the product is defective... Thanks a lot. I think i prefer not to express how feel about having ditched 379.99 Dollars...

Please buy carefully.Product description is wrong.Suffering return investigation delay.Latency mentioned on product page 15-17-17-35I got 16-20-20-38.C15 is 15-17-17-35C16 is 16-20-20-38This took long time to figure out the issue.

The top-rated review says it doesn't support 3200. But it does! You just need to enable it in bios under XMP 2.0So please ignore those negative reviews! Vote up positive ones instead!!

Die Speichergeschwindigkeit lässt sich wunderbar über Windows Task-Manager ( Strg+ALT+Entf ) auslesen. Unter der Rubrik Leistung finden sich Angaben zur CPU oder dem Arbeitsspeicher. Eine sehr gute und wesentlich umfangreichere Freeware Alternative ist CPU-Z. Aber Achtung, die Speichergeschwindigkeit wird geteilt angezeigt. Statt z.B. 3000 Mhz wird 1500 Mhz angegeben. DDR steht für Double Data Rate. ( Nicht für sowjetisch besetzte Zone )Überrascht war ich, als im Windows Task-Manager eine Geschwindigkeit von 2733 Mhz angezeigt wurde. Mein Fehler. Im Bios hatte ich Intel Extreme Memory Profil 1 ( XMP 1 ) aktiviert. Richtig für diesen Speicher ist aber XMP 2.0. Wie es die Bezeichnung eben schon recht deutlich anzeigt…Und schon läuft der Corsair Speicher auf 3000 Mhz.Ich hoffe, die Rezension war hilfreich.

I recently made a massive PC upgrade/overhaul, moving from an FX-8320 and FXA-990 mobo...to a R7 2700X and Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming. With that said, I also had to retire my 32GB HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL10 RAM. I couldn't downgrade in RAM capacity, and intend to max out my mobo's DIMMs at some point. Judging by the "Verified Purchase", and this review, you can guess what I ultimately went with.Out of the box, you'll expect, and might be confused, as to why the RAM is running at 2133MHz. This is pretty standard. So you'll definitely need to go into your UEFI BIOS and select "XMP Profile 1" to ensure it's running at its best. It might vary on how/where you need to enable that. But I've decided to attach some images from my BIOS.Since I don't have other DDR4 to compare this to, I can't offer benchmarks. All in all, it's low profile, and even if it isn't RGB--it still looks great.

I wanted to like this RAM, I really did, but I couldn't get it to run reliably at the advertised voltage/speed (1.35v/3200mhz). This led me to do some research, and I've learned a lot in the last few days, so I thought I'd try to sum up the important points, below, as maybe it will be of some use to anyone thinking of shelling out £120+ on 32GB of "fast" DDR4 RAM.The advertised usage specifications of this RAM are not the supported specifications. What I mean by that is the RAM is rated at 3200mhz and 1.35 volts, but it's not supported at these values. Crucial's website, if you have a read of the FAQ section for this RAM (and many of their other DDR4 offerings), outlines that the RAM has a supported voltage of 1.2 volts - allowing for a stock speed of 2133mhz. It also implements a second "XMP" voltage option of 1.35 volts, giving a speed potential of 3200mhz. The higher voltage/speed is not guaranteed to work, however, and *is not supported*, according to Crucial's FAQs.So the RAM might work at the higher voltage/speed, if you get lucky with your motherboard and CPU choice, but on the other hand it might not work and you could have problems. Your problems might be simple and obvious: your PC might not boot. Or, if you're less lucky perhaps, problems may linger unnoticed causing memory and file corruptions. You might also get random Blue Screen of Deaths (if you're using Windows).The RAM I bought has given me a lot of grief while I've tried to get it to run it at its advertised speed. I've had motherboard error lights and BSOD's I upgraded my board's bios (ASUS Rog Strix B450-F Gaming) to the latest version which actually made things worse (although I suspect the newer bios had a bug related to my M.2 boot drive). I had to re-install Windows at one point due to a corruption which could not be repaired, and now I'm back to square one (with a fresh Windows installation) having gone with the lower - "automatic" in my bios - speed option of 2133mhz.But at least at 2133mhz it does seem reliable :) - so it has one thing going for it!I'm now torn between returning this RAM which has put me through quite a bit of pain, or maybe just keeping it. I had a look around and it seems that even faster rated DDR4 RAM is also only "supported" by Crucial at lower voltage/speed. And it seems that 2133mhz RAM isn't much cheaper than 3200mhz RAM (which is telling, I think). Maybe it should all just be advertised as 2133mhz RAM with a potential overclocking speed of "X".Anyway I hope my review is of use to someone thinking of buying the fastest RAM they can afford. The advertised speed definitely isn't an indicator of what it will reliably run at. Have a good read of the FAQ's on manufacturers' sites, especially around DDR4 voltages and speeds, as it seems that running at higher voltages/speeds is not without risk.
