CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 AMD Optimized Memory – Black

Product Information

CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO is optimised for peak performance on the latest Intel® and AMD DDR4 motherboards, ensuring outstanding results each and every time. For a seamless install the VENGEANCE RGB PRO does not require wires or cables. My online research has found till now that everyone with hynix chip (RAM version 5.39) have the Intel optimized(B) module while those who owns the samsung b-die (RAM version 4.31) have the AMD Optimized(Z) module. Maximum Bandwidth and Tight Response Times: Optimized for peak performance on the latest Intel and AMD DDR4 motherboards. The powerful integrated CORSAIR iCUE software brings your system to life with vibrant RGB lighting. You can control and customise dozens of pre-set lighting profiles with a range of user modifiable colours and LED brightness, which will perfectly colour coordinate with your system. The CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 seems to be optimized for Intel boards. It runs at a slightly higher voltage than the CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 and supports XMP 2.0. The CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 appears to be optimized for Ryzen.

If you're building a Ryzen machine, it might be a better idea to get CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16. I'd recommend just getting a 2x8 kit and running it in Dual Channel mode. Our analysis shows that the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18) RAM has an effective frequency of 3600 MHz, which leads us to conclude that it is Good for gaming and professional tools.

Lifetime limited warranty

I specifically want the samsung b-die version (the Vengeance cost ~170€ while others ram modules like G skill Flare X or other modules with samsung b-die chip usually costs 200€+). Next Generation Software: Take control in CORSAIR iCUE software and synchronize lighting with other CORSAIR RGB products, including CPU coolers, keyboards and fans. Ideally want 3600mhz CL16 but only seem to find the following also dont want to going with another vendor prefer to stay within icue to control everything XMP 2.0 Support: A single BIOS setting is all that’s required to set your memory to its ideal performance settings, for for optimum performance.

It's a theory that may seems reasonable but I cannot confirm for sure in any way and would be interesting to understand the difference. Custom Performance PCB: Provides the highest signal quality for the greatest level of performance and stability. It may be that the CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (Optimized for Intel) is using the less expensive and worse hynix chips (they have problems with AM4 but works good with Intel) while So my conclusion is the system doesnt like 2 different chip types even though the RAM models are exactly the same

You work at BID, what a legend.

Create and Customize: Choose from a wide variety of pre-set lighting profiles, and experiment with of user adjustable effects and colors to perfectly match your system .

Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Going forward I guess I cant have all 4 of these working together ? unless someone knows any settings to try ? I forgot to take a screenshot from Thaiphoon Burner and I had this memory for a weekend only so you have to trust me there is a Micron E-die. CPU-Z is showing only Micron.

The WORST Trend In Gaming

In our experience, if you're not utilizing your computer for memory-intensive games or video processing applications, you may not reap substantial benefits from using the fastest memory. This same number in units of MHz is called the "effective frequency." The effective frequency is the base frequency times two because it is double data rate (DDR) RAM.
