16 GB DDR4 3200 kit for overclocking builds

This Corsair Vengeance LPX kit provides 16 GB of DDR4 memory across two 8 GB modules running at 3200 MT/s with a CL16 latency of 16-18-18-36. It targets enthusiasts who want reliable overclocking headroom on Intel 200, 300, 400, 500 and X299 platforms or AMD 300, 400, 500 and X570 platforms. The 1.35 V operating voltage and Intel XMP 2.0 profile simplify high-speed configuration.

Anodized aluminum heatspreader

Each module uses a pure aluminum heatspreader in red that draws heat away from the individually screened ICs. The eight-layer PCB further assists thermal management during sustained loads. A low-profile form factor clears oversized CPU coolers and fits compact chassis without interfering with fan placement. The 288-pin unbuffered DIMM layout ensures standard desktop compatibility.

Intel XMP 2.0 profile and screened ICs

The factory-programmed XMP 2.0 profile lets the motherboard set the rated 3200 MT/s speed and timings with a single BIOS selection. Every IC is screened for overclocking potential, giving builders confidence when pushing frequencies beyond the rated specification. No additional software installation is required; the profile is stored on the module SPD.

Questions about this item

What does the DDR4 3200 rating mean for real-world bandwidth?

The DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) rating gives a peak transfer rate of 25 600 MB/s per module when the XMP 2.0 profile is enabled in the BIOS.

Will the low-profile heatspreader clear a large tower CPU cooler?

The anodized aluminum heatspreader uses a low-profile design that sits close to the PCB, leaving extra room for oversized coolers that overhang the first DIMM slot.

How do I get the rated 3200 MT/s instead of the default JEDEC speed?

Enable the Intel XMP 2.0 profile in the motherboard BIOS; without it the kit will run at the standard JEDEC frequency and looser timings.
