I enjoy tinkering on my PC as much as the next fella, but when it comes to memory, I just want it to work. Corsair's VENGEANCE LPX series of RAM is designed for high performance overclocking, but whether you're an overclocker or just someone that wants high-quality memory at a good price, the VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 is the right kit for you.
My interest in the VENGEANCE LPX series came by way of a plan to build an all-white gaming PC. The Corsair QL Series RGB Fans and Hydro Series water cooler blew my socks off when I saw them at PAX East last month, so it just made sense to go with a white memory kit from Corsair as well. Luckily, this is about the best memory you can get.
Technically it isn't the best, Corsair's DOMINATOR PLATINUM is the real top of the line. But for a low profile kit that still has excellent heat dissipation and the ability to overclocks, the VENGEANCE LPX is the way to go.
The VENGEANCE series comes in white, black, blue, and red, so no matter what color scheme you use, there's a good option. The set I used does not have RGB LED lighting, but the VENGEANCE RGB Pro does, if you want absolutely must have lights everywhere (and I really wouldn't blame you).
The VENGEANCE LPX series has been tested in just about every motherboard on the planet. So, whether you're using AMD or Intel chipsets, the VENGEANCE LPX set is pretty much guaranteed to work for you. I tested the 16gb (2 x 8gb) set on my Gigabyte X570 UD motherboard (AMD) and it was recognized on startup without any set up required.
The heat spreader is pure aluminum with a ribbed design that is intended for dissipating heat quickly and efficiently. The design is aesthetically pretty simple, meaning it will likely fit in with any system you're building.
You can't go wrong with the VENGEANCE LPX memory kit. It's basically a universal kit that will work right out of the box in both AMD and Intel systems. It performs exactly as you'd expect with no inconsistencies or reliability issues. The more Corsair hardware I can get in my machine the better, and VENGEANCE LPX memory is a perfect fit.
