Specifications and features

The Vengeance RGB Pro SL has been introduced on the 21^st of January.

“Initially available in a wide range of frequencies up to 3,600mhz and kits up to 128GB (4x32GB) in both black and white, Vengeance RGB Pro SL boasts dynamic ten-zone RGB lighting in a form-factor just 44mm tall, offering wide compatibility with nearly any PC build. Each module is tightly screened and optimized for peak performance and overclocking potential, for memory that matches its mesmerizing visuals with equally impressive performance. At 44mm tall, Vengeance RGB Pro SLs compact form-factor enables compatibility with a multitude of CPU cooler options, including dual-fan AIO liquid CPU coolers and many air coolers such as the Corsair A500. Ten individually addressable RGB LEDs per module are massively customizable through Corsair iCUE software and can be synchronized with all iCUE-compatible devices throughout your setup for stunning lighting effects across the entire iCUE ecosystem. Vengeance RGB Pro SL continues the legacy of high-frequency performance and reliability synonymous with Corsair memory. Optimized for compatibility with the latest AMD and intel ddr4 motherboards, Vengeance RGB Pro SL utilizes a custom PCB for high signal quality and stability. Each memory chip is carefully screened and selected for high performance and overclocking potential, while the stylized aluminum heat spreader efficiently disperses heat during even the most strenuous tasks, so you can get the most out of your memory. With completely customizable RGB lighting and the outstanding performance contained in a form-factor that’s more compact than ever before, Vengeance RGB Pro SL is a memory that mesmerizes.”

That’s it with the marketing stuff here, so now we can proceed to the practical portion of this write-up. Let’s see what we have under the hood. First up is Thaiphoon Burner, which is a very good utility for checking the basic data on a RAM die. According to this program, the chips that are used here are from Samsung B-Die (Boltzmann 20 nm) with 8 layers PCB. Will they provide headroom for some overclocking? We’ll see on the following pages.

Thaiphoon burner has shown the majority of the data, but not all.

 
The chips are covered with an RGB heatsink to ensure that the memory and PCB maintain a similar temperature, providing the best performance. If you’re not into overclocking and want to simply use the product, you just put the sticks in, enable XMP (which is, in fact, the industry standard and it’s hard to spot any RAM without this feature nowadays), reboot, and that’s it. Traditionally, we’ll kick off the review with some photo-shooting first, and then move on to the practical part (benchmark/games).
