CORSAIR DDR4 VENGEANCE LPX RAM This particular batch of DDR4 memory comes as two 8GB sticks allowing you to access a high density whilst only requiring two DIMM slots - this allows the set to fit into a wider array of motherboards. An ideal buy for your gaming rig set-up that comes at a reasonable price. Purchasing this 16GB allows your computer to have that extra breathing room for multi-tasking whilst gaming or for extra storage for your media devices. Breaking the 3k barrier this memory pushes DDR4 into its top-end bracket. Along with general performance perks a higher MHz speed can also improve your FPS when gaming. Speeds such as this are targeted toward those who like to get every last drop of frequency performance out of their memory. OPTIMIZED and; TESTED FOR THE LATEST MOTHERBOARDS The DDR4 form factor is optimized for the latest AMD and Intel DDR4 motherboards and offers higher frequencies greater bandwidth and lower power consumption than DDR3 modules. Vengeance LPX DDR4 modules are compatibility-tested across AMD and Intel DDR4 motherboards for reliably fast performance. EXPERIENCE THE TRUE POWER OF DDR4 RAM It was 2007 that the DDR3 standard was announced and in the years since then technology has only been pushed further. Eventually the memory standard was pushed to the edge of DDR3 limits until DDR4 smashed through those limits! Corsair DDR4 doubled the bandwidth and dramatically increase clock speeds whilst consuming less power than ever before. MOTHERBOARD SOCKET DDR4 OPTIMIZATION Pin Out 288Vengeance LPX DDR4 form factor is optimized and compatibility-tested for the latest X99 and Intel 100 series motherboards forging reliably fast performance. With any standard DDR4 DIMM memory socketed motherboard you shouldn’t have any trouble installing the powerful Vengeance LPX RAM and getting that DDR4 performance into your system. UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL WITHIN DDR4 Corsair’s Vengeance LPX DDR4 has been built around high-performance overclocking. Each module from the LPX series utilizes highly-screened memory ICs and an eight-layer PCB with further overclocking improvments through the efficient heat spreader that provides effective cooling. The eight-layer PCB system on these DDR4 memory sticks helps if your computer is trying to squeeze too much information into one layer causing a significant rise in temperature which can create a multitude of issues. COOLER MEMORY FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE The heat spreader on Corsair LPX DDR4 memory is made of pure aluminum creating a faster heat dissipation and a cooler operation. Usually the overclocking overhead is limited by the operating temperature but not for the Vengeance LPX. Due to the unique design of the heat spreader the temperature is constantly lowered as heat is pulled away from the ICs and into your system’s cooling path. Not only does the heat spreader allow Vengeance LPX to perform better but the aggressive yet refined form factor looks great in any system..
