FAQs

What is the rated speed and CAS latency of this memory kit?

This Corsair Vengeance RGB RS memory kit is rated for DDR4 3200MHz with a CAS latency of CL16.

Do I need specific software to control the RGB lighting?

Yes, to fully customize the RGB lighting effects, you will need to download and install Corsair's iCUE software.

Is this memory compatible with both Intel and AMD systems?

Yes, this DDR4 memory is compatible with a wide range of Intel (300, 400, 500, 600 Series) and AMD (300, 400, 500 Series) motherboards that support DDR4 memory.

How do I ensure the memory runs at its advertised speed?

You will need to enable the XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) setting in your computer's BIOS/UEFI. This is typically a one-time setting.

What is the capacity of this memory kit?

This kit contains two 16GB modules, providing a total internal memory capacity of 32GB.

Does the aluminum heatspreader require any special care?

No special care is required beyond standard PC component dusting. The heatspreader's primary function is heat dissipation.

Can I mix these modules with other Vengeance RGB RAM kits?

While technically possible, it is recommended to use identical kits for best compatibility and performance. Mixing modules from different kits might lead to instability or the inability to run at their rated speeds.

Troubleshooting

System not booting or unstable

Ensure RAM modules are fully seated in their slots. Try booting with a single module to identify a faulty stick. Verify XMP settings in BIOS are correct, or try disabling XMP to run at JEDEC speeds.

RGB lighting not working or inconsistent

Confirm Corsair iCUE software is installed and up-to-date. Ensure the memory is properly connected to the motherboard's RGB headers if applicable (though these are typically self-powered via the DIMM slot). Check for software conflicts with other RGB control utilities.

Memory not running at advertised speed (3200MHz)

Access your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI and enable the XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) setting. Save changes and exit. If issues persist, manually set the frequency, timings, and voltage.

One or more modules not detected

Reseat the module(s) in different slots. Check motherboard manual for correct dual-channel configuration. Test modules individually in a known working slot.

  3. Open the clips on the sides of the designated RAM slots.
  4. Align the notch on the bottom of the memory module with the notch in the RAM slot.
  5. Press down firmly and evenly on both ends of the module until it clicks into place and the clips secure it.
  6. If installing multiple modules, consult your motherboard manual for optimal slot placement (usually slots 2 and 4).
  7. After installation, power on your PC and enter the BIOS/UEFI to enable the XMP profile for optimal performance.
