CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MHz CL36 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX5M2B5600C36)

Product Information

In this forum review, I used FarCry 6 as a game test. The last time it was Shadow of the Tomb Raider. In both cases, the difference between XMP and the fastest manual settings is ... 1FPS We have tested and confirmed all parts as working, motherboard, memory, SSD, PSU, etc. This is frustrating as since each part works, no one is willing to help as their particular part functions. Either way, we are 6 months after the premiere and every motherboard manufacturer has problems with DDR5-6000+ compatibility or stability. Some motherboards run higher, some lower, but there are problems with specific RAM brands, used PMIC, used IC, motherboard design flaws, production problems, and some more.

Ditch the tedious process of manually adjusting your performance settings each time when you save your own XMP profiles through iCUE. I have built over 25 computers for myself in my life. This is my son's first build and he has come to me for help. I have spent two weeks trying to figure it out and now come to this forum looking for suggestions. High compatibility also seems like a surprise as many previous Corsair kits had problems with Gigabyte motherboards while now it works better than G.Skill.The memory kit has one XMP profile at DDR5-6200 CL36-39-39 1.30V and doesn't require any manual adjustments to work. The memory kit passed memtest built-in ASUS motherboard and AIDA64 stability test. Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 test. Powerful CORSAIR iCUE Software: Enables real-time frequency readings, onboard voltage regulation, and custom XMP profiles. The motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z70-A WIFI. The memory is Corsair CMK32GX5M2B5600C36. They are BOTH on each other's respective compatibility list.

I highly doubt that your CPU causes the problem. I've tested multiple 12600K and 12900K and all were about the same, and all that I had, could run at 7200 stable on a single slot. Sadly, my motherboards are limited to 6400-6800 on 2 slots. In our experience, if you're not utilizing your computer for memory-intensive games or video processing applications, you may not reap substantial benefits from using the fastest memory. Hand-Sorted, Tightly-Screened Memory Chips: Ensure consistent high-frequency performance with aggressive timing options. RGB works without problems. If we won't use any software then it works as a popular rainbow. These LEDs are great and I really like how Dominator Platinum RGB looks.Besides, i got these rams for a very good price, and it was the only kit available, the other pc stores that sells these kits or similar cost way more.

I assume that results could be better but I feel like the ASUS Strix Z690-I Gaming motherboard is limiting my results a bit. Up to DDR5-6666, it works fully stable. At DDR5-6800 are sometimes single errors in memtest (like 0-2 errors per pass). The same story is with 2 other DDR5 kits so I assume that the problem is more on the motherboard's side than RAM. decreasing frequency to 5400, 5333, and 5200, all of those behave similarly to increasing the voltage, seems stable but will cause some random read failures from SSD or graphical glitches. The tested memory kit is based on two 16GB modules with Hynix IC. The product number is CMT32GX5M2X6200C36 but I haven't seen it on any QVL. Most Z690/DDR5 motherboards have many pre-release memory kits on the list and most of them, even with the same product number, are using different IC. Either way, let's focus on the Corsair kit. Without EXPO support on the memory it's tough to say what it will be capable of. That specific memory is very likely using Samsung memory dies, which at the current moment are considered of lower performance than the possibly currently best option for AMD which is SK Hynix M die memory. This same number in units of MHz is called the "effective frequency." The effective frequency is the base frequency times two because it is double data rate (DDR) RAM.Custom Intel® XMP 3.0 Profiles: Customize and save your own XMP profiles via iCUE to tailor performance by app or task for greater efficiency. The Corsair Vengeance (CMK32GX5M2B5600C36) RAM's 36-36-36-76 (CL36) timings are Mediocre. Based on our analysis, we conclude that the timings rank moderately among other popular RAM models. For example, DDR5-5600 has a data rate of 5600 MT/s, an effective frequency of 5600 MHz, and a base frequency of 2800 MHz. The tested Dominator Platinum kit works without issues on ASUS Strix Z690I Gaming and Gigabyte Z690 Master. As far as I wasn't worried about the ASUS then Gigabyte causes problems with some other memory kits, especially G.Skill at more than DDR5-5600. Here were have DDR5-6200 at XMP that works fully stable and the motherboard has no problems with booting.
