Corsair Introduces Wire-Free Vengeance RGB DDR4 Memory

Geil showed off RGB lighting on its DDR4 memory in May 2016, however, it required extra cables to work. In December, G.Skill outed its own RGB-enabled DDR4 memory that doesn’t need any extra wiring, and today Corsair is here to join the fray with its own Vengeance RGB modules.

Like G.Skill’s hardware, Corsair’s Vengeance RGB modules do not need any additional wiring to get the RGB lights to work. Corsair’s units are capable of one color per dim at any given moment, but will allow for four different dynamic modes: a static color per module, breathing, color shifting per module, and a rainbow between the different modules. You’ll be able to control the lighting through the Corsair Link software, where you can also control lighting for Corsair’s RGB case fans, liquid coolers, power supplies, and more.

The Vengeance RGB DDR4 memory doesn’t fall behind with performance, either. Modules come in 8GB sizes at 2,666 MHz with CL16 timings and 3,000 MHz with CL15 timing. They’re not the fastest DDR4 memory by any stretch of the imagination, but more than adequately speedy for most gaming systems. Built-in XMP 2.0 support also means that setting them up to run at the correct frequencies and timing should be a snap.

Kit	No. of Modules	Frequency	Timing	Price
Vengeance RGB 16GB	2	2,666MHz	16-18-18-35	$170
Vengeance RGB 16GB	2	3,000MHz	15-17-17-35	$155
Vengeance RGB 32GB	4	2,666MHz	16-18-18-35	$340
Vengeance RGB 32GB	4	3,000MHz	15-17-17-35	$305
Vengeance RGB 64GB	8	2,666MHz	16-18-18-35	$680

Normally you’d expect the higher frequency models to cost more, but in this case, the 2,666MHz frequency products cost more than their 3,000MHz counterparts. We reached out to Corsair to ask about the discrepancy.
