| Overall it can be said, that the Corsair Vengeance
LPX-2800C16 16 Gigabyte memory kit does what Corsair claims they do and
therefore they clear specs without an issue. Nevertheless CL16-18-18-35
at DDR4-2800 is a rather conservative latency set and we would have
liked to see Corsair come up with a CL15-15-15-35 DDR4-2800 kit. When
overclocking these Vengeance modules, we hit DDR4-3143 at 1.65 volt and
with the stock latency set. |

| The only latency set with which we've noticed
linear scaling was CL14. If we look at CL12, CL13, CL15 as well as CL16
we always see a degression when setting 1.5 volt. This means, that at
1.5 Volt you can drive these sticks close to their maximum frequency. |

| Using the Rampage V Extreme and our specific
memory testing CPU, which has a good IMC, reaching 3.0GHz on the memory
was actually easy. Unfortunately the journey stops quite soon at 3143
MHz. In this case we have to feed these sticks with 1.65 volt and it's
running with the stock latency set. |

Recommendation / Price |
|
+ |
- |
| Checking Geizhals.at for prices we find the Corsair
Vengeance LPX-2800C16 16 Gigabyte kit listed for 340 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 bit less then 300 Euro. Considering that other
manufacturers are offering DDR4 memory kits with tighter latency for a
lower price these modules are facing tough competition. |
