FAQs

What is the CAS latency of this RAM?

The CAS latency (CL) for this Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO memory kit is 16.

Can I mix these modules with other RAM kits?

While technically possible, mixing RAM kits is not recommended as it can lead to instability or the inability to run at the advertised speeds. For best results, use modules from the same kit.

Do I need the iCUE software for the RAM to work?

No, the RAM will function for performance without iCUE. However, you need iCUE software to control and customize the RGB lighting effects.

What is the voltage for this DDR4 memory?

This memory kit operates at 1.35V when XMP is enabled. The default JEDEC standard voltage is 1.2V.

Is this RAM compatible with my motherboard?

This is a DDR4 memory module. Compatibility depends on your motherboard having DDR4 slots and supporting the 3200MHz speed. Checking your motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) is recommended for guaranteed compatibility.

How do I control the RGB lighting?

The RGB lighting is controlled using the CORSAIR iCUE software, which can be downloaded from the official Corsair website. It allows for customization of colors, effects, and synchronization with other iCUE-compatible devices.

What does XMP 2.0 support mean?

XMP 2.0 (Extreme Memory Profile) allows you to easily run your memory at its advertised speed (3200MHz in this case) by selecting the profile in your computer's BIOS/UEFI, rather than manually configuring settings.

Troubleshooting

PC not booting or no display

Ensure memory modules are fully seated in the correct slots. Try booting with a single module. Verify XMP settings in BIOS are compatible with your system; try disabling XMP if issues persist.

RAM not recognized at full speed

Confirm XMP 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS. Check your motherboard's Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to ensure compatibility with this specific memory kit. Update motherboard BIOS to the latest version.

RGB lighting not working or stuck on one color

Ensure the CORSAIR iCUE software is installed and running. Check that the memory modules are properly connected to the motherboard and recognized by iCUE. Try reinstalling iCUE or updating to the latest version.

System instability or crashes

If overclocked, reduce the clock speed or increase voltage slightly (within safe limits). Ensure adequate system cooling. Test memory with a diagnostic tool like MemTest86.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Power Off: Ensure your computer is completely powered off and unplugged.
