Corsair Vengeance RGB 64GB (2x32GB) PC5-44800 (5600MHz) DDR5

As a RAM kit it works fine, paired with a 13700KF and Gigabyte Z790 X AX motherboard. Easy to XMP ti the advertised 6000MHz.RGB continually stuck on unicorn vomit. I had a DDR4 set of vengeance ram so wasn't expecting any issue moving to DDR5. However, the ram never showed up in ICue. After connecting with Corsair Support for a month of troubleshooting (Bios update, driver install, uninstall of other peripherals), they've decided to give me a replacement pack - not ideal.

An excellent kit, but take note:

Running two kits of these on an MSI wifi z690 edge board with a 13700k.Pros: Sleek look, not demanding much attention and will get the job done. (low profile for those doing an ITX build) Worked out of the box at 4,000Mhz. See cons for explanation.Cons: Note that this could entirely be my motherboard manufacturer than the Dimms themselves. When placed into xmp mode, I've encountered a multitude of BSODS and other strange behavior even on the latest BIOS available for the board. I eventually discovered it was a voltage issue, raised the available voltage to 1.3 volts and the 5600Mhz speed stabilized.Overall: I would recommend this kit to anyone interested in getting into the DDR5 Platform. It's sleek, simple, does what it needs to do, understand that with any new ... MoreRunning two kits of these on an MSI wifi z690 edge board with a 13700k.Pros: Sleek look, not demanding much attention and will get the job done.

It's sleek, simple, does what it needs to do, understand that with any new product, especially computer components, there are growing pains, DDR5 still has its quirks compared to its DDR4 Older brother. If you wish to enable XMP, you may find yourself needing to experiment to obtain advertised speeds in a stable fashion. 4 Stars for the price and design. Minus 1 for the lack of advertised speed out of the box, though, again, could just be my motherboard manufacturer. Hope this helps anybody who is looking at these.

Does the job

Does the job, doesn't seem to be much headroom for OC. Occasionally I will get a slow POST because either the RAM or Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX doesn't want to play ball. Sometimes 1 or both sticks won't run at EXPO speeds and the RGB will not work properly 50% of the time (seems the Corsair iCue and Gigabyte RGBFusion drivers are fighting). Wished I'd bought faster RAM now. But can hit 83000MB/S on AIDA64 when everything is working right!

Good RAM, works well in Alienware R15

Works well in my Alienware R15. After downgrading the BIOS to 1.0.5 I could enable 5600mhz in AWCC. But after a reboot it upgraded automatically to 1.0.6 so now even though it stayed at 5600 I’ve lost memory OC controls. Not Corsairs fault and I’m happy it stayed overclocked, just some info for others looking at this RAM. The only thing I dislike is the 3.2GB iCue software to change the RGB. I don’t care about the monitoring I just want to change the colors once in a while.

Great value at the time (early '22)

In early 2022, DDR5 kits were scarce since it was a new technology. This corsair kit offered a great value of speed vs. size vs. price. It is a 5600 MHz kit and at that time the max you could get was low 6000s and that cost way way more. There's likely better deals to be had today but Corsair remains a goto, reliable brand for RAM and this item is no exception. I'm confident that I'll be able to resell it with ease whenever I want to upgrade.

Pricey, questionable build quality, but it works

I'm using this RAM as I went ahead and invested in a DDR5 system. My previous system was a 7-year-old DDR3 laptop, so this is a huge upgrade in terms of speed and reliability. For 32GB it's pretty expensive and the advertised price at microcenter has already increased since I bought it about three weeks ago.Each stick is 35mm in height which fits with a Noctua NH-D15 cooler in a Lian Li Mesh II case. One stick in my module had the heat diffuser slightly split apart (think like a clam shell that's slightly open) which was kinda jarring considering what I paid for it, but I installed it anyways since there's no telling when i'll be able to get it again.Great for people who are going for a black-out aesthetic.

Runs at advertised speed at a good price.

This ram is fine and it works. It contributes to a rock-solid system. Nothing is overclocked, but I've had to undervolt the CPU. I don't know if the ram was the problem, but undervolting to a pre-set value would crash the PC under load unless RAM was NOT set to 5600Mhz.I bumped up the voltage and everything is running at advertised speed. So it doesn't look like overclocking is in my future. And that's OK.

Sold performer and decent value

Solid performer. At a decent price for the performance. I think with G.Skill, you can get more performance for the price, but corsair's icue software has been seamless for me in syncing the RAM with my other corsair RGB components (CPU cooler and fans). Corsair icue does control certain gpus too like ASUS. RGB on this ram also looks great and there's a lot of effects.

Subpar build quality. Very basic! But its memory at an ok price now. Samsung

It runs on my Z690 AORUS Ultra w/ a 12600k and 12900k at its XMP speed no problem. 1 week in and no instability to be seen. Initial boot took a bit of time for the training process to be completed.The only complaint is the build quality is probably the worst I've seen in a long time. When i say this, Corsair put ZERO effort into these sticks. since DDR5 runs cooler than ddr4 it seams that the need for effort in the heat spreading department is unnecessary. As i was installing the DIMMS the two aluminum sides started to separate and bend apart.At this moment i took liberty to strip a stick to verify the memory supplier for this kit i purchased.I am conflicted to recommend this product because i don't think Corsair deserved my business for the poor build quality ... MoreIt runs on my Z690 AORUS Ultra w/ a 12600k and 12900k at its XMP speed no problem. 1 week in and no instability to be seen.

In many ways id rather have raw unbranded sticks.I'm going to keep them for this build but the moment better ddr5 comes around i wont be buying Corsair.For reference i have typically owned G-skill and Kingston sticks. back for Z170 i had some Crucial 2400 ddr4 sticks and even those were nicer than these.

Wait- Memory for AMD??

I ordered this ram and it arrived the day before I was planning to do my build. Then I read the box- "Memory for AMD". Oh. I was building an Intel system. I couldn't get a solid answer whether this would be an issue or not. I had no time to get new ram, so I just went for it. As it turns out, it worked fine. All testing showed the ram was working at spec. In bios, it went to 5600Mhz without a problem. It would NOT accept any speeds higher, though. The system would not even POST. But the ram works as intended and has been problem-free. Simple to install, and like all my Corsair parts, integrated with iCue for firmware, RGB control, etc.
