Closer Look
The new Vengeance modules from
Corsair are being shipped in its own cardboard box. Apart from that they have
been enclosed in blister packaging.
Heatspeaders of Vengeance are finished in a blend of black and some small
spots of yellow, which is
likely to fit with quite a few motherboard models out there. The heatspreaders
on these modules are rather simple, since there are thin aluminum plates, which
stick to the memory chips via adhesive heatpads.
Taking the heatspeaders off Corsairs Vengance series is not something we would recommend doing at home due to strong adhesive that requires
a very careful approach. Once the heatspreaders have been removed we see
that Corsair is putting MFR chips from SK Hynix on these modules. These are
basically the chips every DDR4 memory maker is using these days.
The SPD of these modules contains some basic information such as maker, part number and manufacturing date. It also features JEDEC profiles up to
DDR4-2800, as well as an XMP profile,
which will make these modules run at DDR4-3000.
A detailed overview of the top JEDEC profiles and the XMP can be seen on screenshots
above.
