Overall it can be said, that the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000C15 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 RGB LED lighting really adds to it. Making the RGB lighting work can be a little bit tricky in the first place, since you'll have to enter the BIOS and search for the parameter "SPD Write" and set it to enabled. Now Tools such as Corsair's LINK software can access the memory to change the color of the lighting. |

Scaling |
|

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. |

Checking Geizhals.at for prices we find the Corsair
Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000C15 32 Gigabyte kit (CMU32GX4M4C3200C16R) listed for 299 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 less. |
