Introduction

Corsair is a well-known brand name by this point in the United States and Europe, partially thanks to easily identifiable yellow product boxes. The company has been well established in the computer market for a number of years now, offering gaming peripherals, flash drives, SSDs, AIOs, watercooling hardware, power supplies and entire pre-built computers. Of course, let’s not forget about the highly successful memory division, which continually strives to offer the newest emerging technologies with the unmatched customer service Corsair is known for.

Corsair currently offers an assortment of memory products ranging from laptop DDR3 SODIMMs to PC enthusiast grade DDR5 memory. Using the well established DDR4 memory lines, Corsair brings forward both Vengeance and Dominator products, reusing the names and overall design language for the DDR5 iteration. Both products are available in RGB, with the Vengeance series offering non-RGB memory kits as well. Configurations for the Intel platform include 32 GB (2x 16 GB), 64 GB (2x 32 GB) and 48 GB (2×24 GB) kits with frequencies ranging from 5200 MT/s to 7000 MT/s.

In this review, we will be taking a closer look at the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-7000 Intel memory kit. Equipped with enthusiast grade timings of 34-42-42-96 operating at 1.45 V for the 7000 MT/s Intel XMP profile, it provides higher bandwidth and considerable performance gains compared to baseline JEDEC 4800 MT/s DDR5 with a CAS latency of 40 operating at 1.1 V. Marketed exclusively towards consumers with Intel systems, we will benchmark this Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32 GB kit and see how it stacks up to the competition, along with some overclocking as well!
