Although some of the Vengeance Pro models can be quite expensive, not being Corsair’s flagship lineup implies that these get no special treats when it comes to the packaging and additional accessories. So, the 2400C10 come in a simple plastic tray put in a simple paper box.



Being targeted mainly at enthusiasts who are likely to have custom builds with a specific theme, the Vengeance Pro lineup splits in four sub lineups; Blue, Gold, Red and Silver, the only difference between which comes down to the colour of the styling elements while the main features such as custom black PCB and heatspreaders remain the same.



The heatspreaders on Vengeance Pro modules are a two-part affair. The usual stuff is a pair of thin stamped aluminium plates designed to transfer the heat away from the memory chips on both sides via a strap of thermal pads. On each module these are accompanied by a detachable top, purpose of which seems rather vague as removal will not help to reduce the height in case one needs to maneuver the modules under a large CPU heatsink.




The 4.21 version number indicates that the memory should be based on Samsung chips of 4Gbit density. And indeed it is. The Samsung revision B is a common sight by DDR3-2400 10-12-12 rated models due to ability to clear this spec without any significant problems and being unable to do much more.



The SPD of the Vengeance Pro provides some basic information about the memory. It also features four JEDEC profiles up to DDR3-1333 and an XMP with DDR3-2400 using which a potential buyer won’t have to go though the routine of setting all the settings by hand.
