The Corsair kit delivered a Ghost Recon average of 37.26fps. Its 3DMark: Fire Strike score of 6817 was fine and better than the Night Hawk memory. Its Geekbench results were barely behind the Team Group kit, but better than my three other high-end picks. The Corsair memory delivered the high-end group’s best results in the single- and multi-threaded cache bandwidth benchmarks, and its Cinebench multi-core score of 2194cb is the best of any high-end kit in this group. The Corsair’s single-threaded bandwidth figure of 15.45GB/sec is one of the best here, and its global latency result of 28.9ns tops the table, along with the Team Group Night Hawk RGB kit. The decision to concentrate on speed rather than performance has paid off. A version with two 4GB sticks costs £115, and a 32GB kit is a whopping £361. It’s also available in different capacities. This 16GB Corsair kit costs £173, which brings it in at £10.81-per-gigabyte – right in the middle of my high-end group. Elsewhere, latency comes in at 16-18-18-36, and the kit is available in white, blue or red variations to match your machine. This kind of design certainly goes against the current trend for big sticks of memory with plenty of lighting, but I’m happy to forego RGB LEDs if it means my memory is quicker and more reliable.Ĭorsair’s kit is designed around performance rather than aesthetic features, so it’s no surprise to see it running at 3200MHz – one of the highest speeds in this group.

#THEORETICAL CAPACITY OF DDR4 INSTALL#
The lack of RGB LEDs means there’s more room in the budget to make the memory faster, and the smaller design means it will be easier to install chunky cooling hardware without the memory getting in the way. Corsair’s memory modules are coated with plain, slatted heatsinks made of solid aluminium, and they’re low-profile too – so these DIMMs are some of the smallest I’ve ever seen. This kit is our favourite high-end DDR4 product, although we’ll concede that it doesn’t look like it.

Why we liked the Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
#THEORETICAL CAPACITY OF DDR4 PRO#
We’d also recommend the Team Group Dark Pro 2 x 4GB as another good affordable alternative. If you’re on a budget, then the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White 2 x 8GB would make an excellent choice. This high-end kit is designed around performance rather than aesthetics, and is certainly the best when it comes to high-end speed and performance. The Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB is the best high-end DDR4 kit we found on the market.
