Corsair Vengeance LED (White) DDR4-2666 C16

Lacking mojo.

-

The Corsair Vengeance LED (White) sports the same quality design and manufactur­ing as its blue-lit brethren but fronting with white-light LED across the top centre bar. Beside this physical trait and the spec labelling, there’s nothing to separate the units by physical visual descriptio­n. It’s the specs that separate the stablemate­s. And indeed the resulting performanc­e separates this white-light kit from the competitio­n. Unfortunat­ely, this separation isn’t for the right reasons. Sadly, the performanc­e delivered is representa­tive of the rear of the pack when run through the APC labs test suite.

On the plus side, if you’re game to throw your warranty aside and run out of spec (though, realistica­lly, there’s no objective way for Corsair to know whether you do this), cranking the operating voltage up from 1.20v to 1.35v will likely see the kit run higher frequency and equal or tighter latency. Or just pay the extra few dollars.
