Vengeance Performance DDR4 SO-DIMM kit

This Corsair Vengeance Performance kit provides 16GB of DDR4 memory in two 8GB SO-DIMM modules. It is built for notebooks and NUCs that use 260-pin DDR4 slots. The kit targets owners of 6th Generation Intel Core i7 systems who want a straightforward capacity increase.

DDR4 3000 CL16 1.20V specification

The modules run at DDR4 3000 with a CAS latency of CL16 and timings of 16-18-18-36 at 1.20V. This speed and latency combination determines whether the memory matches the notebook's supported profile. Buyers who need a different speed bin or lower voltage should look elsewhere.

260-pin auto-overclocking compatibility

The SO-DIMMs use the standard 260-pin DDR4 form factor and support automatic overclocking on compatible notebooks without BIOS changes. The kit occupies two memory slots and leaves no room for additional modules in a two-slot chassis. Systems limited to lower DDR4 speeds will run the memory at the highest mutually supported rate.

Questions about this item

What does the 3000 MHz speed mean once the kit is installed in a laptop?

The modules run at 3000 MHz with CL16 latency and 16-18-18-36 timings at 1.2 V, delivering PC4-24000 bandwidth when the notebook supports that frequency.

What interface does this kit use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses a 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM interface, which is the standard laptop DDR4 form factor and limits the kit to DDR4 signalling only.

What does the kit physically need to fit or mount in a notebook?

Each 8 GB module is a 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM without a heat spreader, so it fits standard laptop SO-DIMM slots that accept low-profile sticks.
