This review is about the CORSAIR Vengeance LPX-16gb RAM 3000 Mhz (C15)



These were coupled with an Ryzen 5 2600 and a MSI B450 Tomahawk. It worked greatly and without any problems, was easy to input into the motherboard and came packaged neatly and safely. It also looks good in your system with a black or white setup although it doesn’t come with RGB.



This informational review is aimed for new PC builders. Therefore, if you are already knowledgeable in RAM there is no need to continue.



1. (C15) refers to CAS Latency, which is how quickly your RAM responds to a command, you really won't see a difference at all between CL15 and CL16 although you will notice C15 is considerably more expensive as it is better in synthetic bench marks but you wouldn’t notice this in real world performance. Therefore get whichever one you want.

2. Mhz refers to how fast the RAM performs. The speed of a computer processor, or CPU, is determined by the clock cycle. Computer processors can execute one or more instructions per clock cycle, depending on the type of processor. Therefore the higher Mhz the Ram outputs, the faster the RAM can perform tasks. (3000-3200Mhz is considered the sweet spot for mid-higher end workstation + gaming), any beyond this is overkill for your average needs and unecessary money spent.

3. GB refers to Gigabytes: Some computer programs, especially Windows, uses RAM to swap frequently loaded programs back and forth, it makes the computer seem to run faster. Therefore in simple terms, the higher the GB the more tasks your system can perform at once before it starts slowing down your machine.



Recap: What you want in your system for your needs



1. Higher GB



8GB is standard for workstation purposes and light gaming.

16 GB recommended/a must for medium to higher end gaming.

32 GB is for higher end computers, and unecessary unless you are doing a very heavy work load at once which requires it.



(More GB = More tasks your machine can run at once)



2. Mhz

(3000-3200 is the sweet spot, nothing more is required unless necessary for your use).



3. Brand

Brands make their ram different. However Corsair is known for its tech, are very reputable and trustworthy, therefore they are a company you can depend on that make good quality products.



4. (CAS Latency)

Latency won’t be an issue, get which ever one is labelled cheaper as long as it has any of the above I mentioned.



Happy building!
