Conclusion

According to geizhals, offers for 2x4GB sets of Vengeance Pro 2133C11 start at 77 Euros excluding shipping across the EU. Despite Corsair having been able to get away with selling a number of overpriced products in the past, we don’t think that their reputation can justify paying 15-20 Euros more than competition this time around. Even when these can directly compete with some of the more expensive DDR3-2400 rated kits, the low specs do not guarantee that all kits will overclock the same or, let alone, have the same ICs.
Looking back at the original Vengeance series, the Vengeance Pro cannot be called a step forward for Corsair. While the overclockability and excellent support are still there, the things that left the old Vengeance down, namely, the pricing and questionable heatspreader quality did not get any improvement so it’s hard to claim that the Pro are worth the money just because they bear a “Haswell ready” and “Corsair” tags.
