Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro series is designed for sleek aesthetics and performance, making it an ideal choice for building a new PC system or for upgrading your system memory.
The Vengeance RGB Pro (For AMD) series is specially designed to work with AMD systems and offers ideal performance and stability. However, they can also be used with Intel systems.
DDR4
DDR4 is the fourth generation of RAM (Random Access Memory) technology for computers. It replaces DDR3 and offers increased speeds and larger capacities.
Specifically, DDR4 offers operating speeds ranging from 2133 MT/s up to 4800 MT/s and CAS Latency (CL) from CL 9 up to CL 22. Its capacity has been increased up to 32GB per memory module.
When choosing speed (MT/s) and capacity (GB), higher is generally better, but it's important to ensure that our motherboard supports the selected speed and capacity. For CAS Latency (CL), lower is better.
The Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro operates at a speed of 3600 MT/s with a CL18 and 8GB of memory per module.
Compatibility
DDR4 technology is compatible with specific motherboards and CPUs. For instance, DDR4 is compatible with Intel CPUs such as Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, and the latest Intel processors, as well as with AMD Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs.
However, to ensure compatibility with your motherboard, you need to check if your motherboard supports DDR4 technology from the manufacturer. Compatibility is dependent on the CPU platform and type of motherboard that you are using.
XMP & EXPO
(XMP & EXPO) is a technology that allows us to boost the frequency and performance of our computer's memory without the need for manual adjustments. (XMP/ EXPO) works by storing pre-defined memory settings in the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) of the memory module. These settings can be automatically applied by the system's BIOS when XMP is enabled.
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro memory supports (XMP 2.0/ EXPO) technology and offers:
Speed (XMP/EXPO): 3600 MT/s
CAS Latency (XMP/EXPO): 18-22-22-42
Voltage (XMP/EXPO): 1.35V
RGB lighting
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro series offers all the necessary tools and features to create a unique and impressive look on your computer.
This can be achieved either through the software provided by the company, iCUE, or through compatibility with Sync Up software provided by motherboard companies.
The advantage of using Sync Up software is that it allows for synchronization of the RGB lighting across the entire PC.
Vengeance RGB Pro is compatible with Asus Aura, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light.

Super duper memories and beautiful, the system they play is as follows: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 (rev. 1.0) Motherboard ATX, Ryzen 5 5600g, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3600MHz, Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD 500GB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 3.0, Be Quiet System Power 9 400W Full Wired 80 Plus Bronze.
I had a little difficulty timing them at 3600 which I solved by placing them in slots A2-B2 and activating xmp profile 1.
Also, the icue (program for the RGB) works perfectly for me.
Usage: delightful.
Flawless memory, The combination of my processor and motherboard does not support 3600 speeds (aorus b450m ryzen 3 3200g) so I changed the clocks to 3200mhz, 16-16-16-36 (from 18-22-22-42) at 1.3v, it runs very well, the RGB is beautiful, fully satisfied with how you change the settings and view temperatures through ique. (I refuse to use rgb fusion though) Overall, it's beautiful. I recommend it.
(As I can see, it's great for overclocking, when I upgrade to a good motherboard, I can try to go for 4000 cl20 or 3600 c16, it seems possible to me)
Edit: I managed to make it run at 16-18-18-18-38 at 1.38v, satisfactory, but this particular set has nanya a-dies. I haven't been able to get it to 16-16-16-16-36 without my PC not booting (even when I changed the voltage settings on the memory controller, nothing). I will ask the overclocking subreddit for opinions on this die, I will update again. For those interested, on the back of the modules, the label states the version, I happened to have 8.31. I think the die is related to the version.
Edit 2: Now I have a ryzen 5 5600x, with vermeer architecture, and my motherboard supports 3600 speeds, I was able to push it to a maximum of 3600 16-18-18-18-38, it turns out my die is relatively low quality, it won't go to 16-16-16-16-36. But for such speed, you're fine with xmp, and my 16-18-18-18-38 oc competes against a $130 set. It's worth it.
Flawless synchronization with ASUS ROG B550-F! The only negative is the ICUE software that causes some glitches with the RGB and they don't sync with the motherboard sometimes. I hope it gets resolved quickly with an update.
They were installed on an MSI b450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard in combination with a Ryzen 5 3600 for full utilization of the infinity fabric. By enabling XMP in the bios (profile 2), they were automatically timed at 3600MHz and work without any issues. Beautiful RGB lighting that can be managed through Corsair's iCUE, with the option to adjust the brightness intensity.
I installed them on an Aorus B450 M after checking that they are compatible, a 2x8GB kit. They were recognized normally but at the default 2600. So, I enabled XMP through the BIOS and it reached 3600. However, the computer cannot function... BLUE SCREEN... Goodbye...
With all the fuss, up to 3400 they work fine, after that nothing, it gives me a blue screen. It would have been better if I had taken the 3400 from the beginning!!
#I have now changed the setup... Asus ROG Strix Z590 Gaming-F with Intel 11600K, enabling XMP II, now timed at 4000 CL 18.
No matter how many times I mess up, I will make the same mistake again!
A few months ago, I bought a set of 2x8 3600 RAM and when I installed them, the memory worked perfectly. The motherboard recognized them and everything was fine. Recently, I decided to upgrade and add another 16GB, making it a total of 32GB. I should mention that the codes and ver are the same (8.31). I added the memory to the empty slots, 1-3, and entered the BIOS. The memory appeared normally, I enabled XMP and set the speed to 3600. I rebooted and... the memory was running at 2666! Anyway, I went back to the BIOS (latest version Ashrock Steel Legend 3.31) and manually set it to 3600. Windows opened, I started gaming, and after 5 minutes, the PC rebooted on its own.
Result: IF YOU INSTALL THEM as a pair of 2x8, the memory will work flawlessly. If you try to add another EXACTLY identical pair, you will have stability issues.
Solution: Since I don't want to go through the process, I will sell them and buy different ones. I just lowered the speed from 3600 to around 3500 (can't remember exactly) and that's it. No more BSOD or random reboots.
My advice: When you're looking for RAM, decide if you'll upgrade early. If you go for 32GB, go for a set of 4x8 or 2x16.
Last time I'm filling up RAM.
(P.S) The same thing happened to me last year with 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws V.
Excellent memories, used on the Aorus X570 Ultra motherboard and simply activating XMP, were recognized at 3600. It should be noted that these memories were on Gigabyte's compatible DDR4 list.
I have had them for about 7 days and their use is mainly for gaming.
I took into consideration the reviews before purchasing them and indeed, all the positive things that were written were verified, so I won't mention them.
As for the appearance, for someone who wants RGB functionality, they are beautiful and can operate in various modes, as long as you download the iCUE program, https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/icue, from Corsair's website, which also manages any other product of the company installed on the computer.
I highly recommend them, especially at the price of €92 they cost today, 24/7/2020, it's VFM.
The memories have been purchased twice, for installation in 2 identical systems. After compatibility check with the motherboard model, they were purchased for both appearance and frequency.
During the first system startup, there were a few restarts and there was an indication of automatic memory timing. After the first startup, both systems operated normally and the memories were immediately recognized.
The xmp2 profile was activated without any malfunction.
Within the operating system, the Corsair operating system was downloaded to configure the RGB icue, and the memories were immediately recognized and configured. Then, compatibility testing was performed with the Asus software, Armory Crate, and the memories were successfully recognized and configured through it.
Champions in PASSMARK MEMORY at 3600mhz ... with a latency of 16 ns even though it's C16. With Hynix new generation.
First, very good price at the moment and with RGB.
They surpass by far the performance of Trident 3600 RGB which have 50% more and B-die.
Visit the passmark memory rank to see the tests.
On a RYZEN 3700X system, Asrock metal 570x - 2 x 6 modules overclocked to 3733 for maximum Infinity Fabric and the performance is godlike!
Very good memories, I installed them on the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and did not encounter any problems. You can see the PC build we did with these memories in the video: https://youtu.be/iYLQXqIZ7mw
