| Overall it can be said, that the Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4-3200C16 32 Gigabyte memory kit does what Corsair claims they do and
therefore they clear specs without an issue. Apart from that the Vengeance kits do have a reputation for being beautiful and the red LED lighting really adds to it. Nevertheless CL16-18-18-36
at DDR4-3200 is a rather conservative latency set. The maximum frequency this kit could easily cope with was DDR4-3400 at CL16. In this case we had to run it with 1.35V. |

| The only latency set with which we've noticed
linear scaling was CL12. If we look at CL13, CL14, CL15 as well as CL16 and CL17
we always see a degression when setting 1.5 volt, except for CL14. This means, that at
1.5 Volt you can drive these sticks close to their maximum frequency or worst case 1.5V don't show an effect over 1.35V. |

| Using the Rampage V Edition 10 and our specific
memory testing CPU, which has a good IMC, reaching 3.2GHz on the memory
was actually easy. Unfortunately the journey stops quite soon at 3400
MHz. In this case we have to feed these sticks with 1.35 volt and it's
running with latency set that is slightly altered from the stock settings being a little tighter. |

Recommendation / Price |

| Checking Geizhals.at for prices we find the Corsair
Vengeance LED DDR4-3200C16 32 Gigabyte kit (CMU32GX4M4C3200C16R) listed for 295 Euro. Corsair is
therefore continuing with their pricing scheme and these Vengeance
modules are definitely no bargain. We would honeslty like to find these
modules for a little. Considering that other
manufacturers are offering DDR4 memory kits with tighter latency for a
lower price these modules are facing tough competition. |
