Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory is optimised for Intel motherboards and delivers high operating frequencies in a low-profile format suitable for most systems. The high-frequency memory chips are hand-selected, and the integrated voltage regulation provides easy and precise overclocking. Corsair iCUE software enables real-time frequency monitoring, integrated voltage regulation and Intel XMP 3.0 profile customisation.
An aluminium heat spreader keeps the memory cool while ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of motherboards and CPU coolers.

No complaints about performance: these memory modules do the job perfectly. Whether multitasking, gaming or under heavy load, everything runs smoothly and responsively.
The customisable RGB lighting via Corsair's iCUE application is a real bonus. I was able to synchronise the lighting with the rest of my case, which creates a very nice visual atmosphere once everything is set up.
The only real downside — and it's not related to performance — is the high price of memory modules lately. Even though the quality is there, it still hurts the wallet.
To power my new custom-built PC.
I assembled it a week ago.
CORSAIR is a really high-quality brand.
I was very disappointed by the Corsair Vengeance 15 years ago (2 out of 4 were faulty), but these seem to work correctly even though by default they run at 4800 Mhz whereas my processor and motherboard manage 5600 Mhz. You probably have to fiddle with the BIOS.
The only negative point I can see is that they've gone from 340€ in September to 1300€ today, so they're certainly not worth that price.
I opted for a full black build, so the absence of RGB was a deliberate effect. RAM is fast, easy to install and very well built. I highly recommend
