CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36-44-44-96 1.35V AMD EXPO Intel XMP 3.0 Computer Memory – Grey (CMK32GX5M2E6000Z36)

There are so many manufacturers of DDR5 memory, all with different specifications or with LED lights but I have used Corsair memory for years so I had no qualms about getting some more for a PC refresh project and I just wanted a plain black cooler so an easy choice.The memory fitted into the system without problem. Some people may be a bit nervous installing memory but you just need to line up the little slot in the memory with the same on the motherboard and you do need to push quite hard to make sure it clicks into place correctly. If the retention clips aren't closed then the memory isn't in fully. The memory was immediately detected by the system when it was booted.After running for a few weeks now these Vengeance DDR5 sticks have had absolutely no problems - as expected. The full 32GB are showing as available for use and even with the most memory intensive tasks these have managed without any issues.

Had this RAM in my old rig (slower speed) and have just recently built a 7800x3d - 7900XTX combo and used this again. Very solid, fast and reliable RAM.

Amazing performance for the money.

Great kit, no fancy lights and flawless EXPO performance on MSI board.

I’ve always bought Corsair ram and it’s never let me down, it overclocked to the rated 6000mhz and stays there with no instability, highly recommend

Let’s start with the positives – of which there are plenty:Data Processing: - What’s on the tin isn’t inaccurate with this one. The RAM itself runs pretty smoothly at its maximum output of 4800 MT/s at DDR 5, with a 6000MHz cap. However – much the same as most DDR5 models – it suffers from stuttering issues relating to drops in data processing. Nothing deal-breaking – especially with the infrequency at which it happens – but some room for improvement. Keeps up quite well with an 8 Core Ryzen 7 7800X3D, so for the most part, it provides a pretty smooth gaming experience.AMD Expo Profile: - This is a pretty neat feature, all things considered. I’ve created various profiles to underclock or overclock my system depending on what I’m doing, which makes it easier than constantly accessing the BIOS for changes. It's especially useful for those who, like me, often forget to adjust the BIOS settings. This feature helps preserve the components by allowing quick tuning, so they don't have to run at high performance all the time. Additionally, the onboard voltage system ensures that everything stays within a certain boundary, enhancing stability.Cost Effective: - It's cost-effective as well. At the time of this review, for £79.98, 32GB is a solid deal considering the standard rates for DDR5 systems. This amount of RAM is essential given the increasing demands of PC gaming. Interestingly, the power requirement for this RAM stick is relatively low, using about 1.4 volts each—totalling 2.8 volts—which is just a small fraction of what most power supply units (PSUs) handle these days.I’ll move on to the negatives – not so much to talk about here:Dimensions: - Despite the many positives, I have one significant complaint about the sticks themselves and that’s their size. Measuring 13.49 x 0.71 x 3.51 cm and weighing 36.29 g, they’re quite large for RAM sticks. First, the sticks are quite wide, and the ports on most motherboards are positioned closely together, which makes it difficult to fit them side by side. Second, their height posed a problem with my Noctua NH-D15 cooler, which comes with two fans. Unfortunately, I could only install one fan because the RAM sticks are too tall.Little bit nit-picky but overall, this a pretty solid purchase if you want a mid-ranged to a high-ranged rate of processing.

Very nice

Ram with a heatsink. I have had no trouble with this at all: you just 'fit and forget' - and it's even recognised by Corsair's iCue app.
