The CAS (Column Access Strobe) latency for this module is 16.
Can I mix this module with other Corsair Vengeance RGB modules?
While it is possible to mix memory modules, it is recommended to use identical modules (same capacity, speed, timings, and voltage) for optimal stability and performance. Mixing may result in running at the speed of the slowest module.
What version of Intel XMP does this module support?
This module supports Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) version 2.0.
How do I control the RGB lighting?
The RGB lighting can be controlled using CORSAIR's iCUE software, which allows for customization of colors, effects, and synchronization with other compatible Corsair products.
What is the voltage required for this memory module?
This memory module operates at a voltage of 1.35V when using the XMP profile.
Is this memory module compatible with AMD Ryzen systems?
Yes, this DDR4 memory is optimized for both Intel and AMD motherboards, including AMD 300, 400, and 500 series chipsets.
What is the heatspreader made of?
The heatspreader is made of black anodized aluminum, designed for efficient heat dissipation.
What is the warranty period for Corsair Vengeance RAM?
Corsair typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on Vengeance memory modules. Please refer to the official Corsair website for the most current warranty information.
Troubleshooting
System does not boot or POSTs with memory installed
Ensure the memory module is fully seated in the DIMM slot. Try booting with only one module if you have multiple installed. Check motherboard QVL for compatibility. Consider resetting BIOS settings to default.
RGB lighting not working or displaying correctly
Verify that CORSAIR iCUE software is installed and up-to-date. Ensure the module is properly connected if it has any separate lighting connections (though this model's lighting is integrated). Check iCUE settings for lighting profiles.
System instability or random crashes
Ensure XMP profile is correctly enabled in BIOS. Test memory stability using diagnostic tools like MemTest86. If the issue persists, the module might be faulty or incompatible.
Memory not running at rated speed (3200 MHz)
Manually enable the XMP 2.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS. Verify that your motherboard and CPU support 3200 MHz memory speeds.
