Performance

The Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB Memory supports XMP 2.0 and uses memory from Micron.We ran multiple tests of AIDA64 on our AMD Ryzen 7 2700 based test system cooled with Corsair H100i PRO running at 4.2 Ghz –

• CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 8-core 3.2GHz AM4
• COOLER: CORSAIR H100i PRO
• GPU: GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB 16GB (8GBx2) Dual Channel DDR4
• MOBO:  ASUS B450 TUF Gaming Plus AM4 Motherboard
• HDD: Western Digital 1TB Blue Hard Disk
• PSU: Corsair CX650 650W ATX Power Supply
• CASE: Corsair SPEC OMEGA RGB Gaming CASE

The benchmark above shows the scores on AIDA64’s cache & memory benchmark test.  The Vengeance PRO RGB Memory scored quite well, but fell behind the performance of G.Skill’s Trident Z 3200MHz Memory. But in games, the performance difference is negligible, and Vengeance Pro RGB does make up for it with its breathtaking RGB Lighting.

The Corsair iCUE Software allows you to customize the RGB Memory and also sync it with other Corsair RGB products like RGB fans, gaming keyboards, mice, headphones, and the case. It’s also compatible with MSI’s Mystic Light Sync and Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion. We used the case with Corsair’s SPEC Omega RGB Gaming Case, and it was a match made in heaven.
