So are We Like the legendary Dominator, enthusiast-grade Vengeance DRAM is designed for stability, stringently factory-tested. And, we know that great looks are as important as great performance. This is why Vengeance modules come in a variety of colours to match your components and let you build your system just the way you want it. Superior Overclockability through Careful Screening Overclocking your components can be a fun and rewarding way of pushing your gaming PC to its performance limits. Vengeance can help make this happen. Before each module is assembled, the DRAM chips are individually screened not only to ensure reliable meeting performance specifications, but to allow generous headroom for stable overclocking. Optimised for Compatibility with Some of the Latest CPUs and Motherboards Vengeance memory is designed specifically for some of the latest CPUs. Vengeance modules are available in 1.5 V and 1.35 V configurations for maximum compatibility with all Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, as well as the 2nd generation Intel Core processor family. With dual channel, triple channel, and quad channel kits, there's a Vengeance configuration that's perfect for your motherboard. XMP Memory Profile for Simple, Safe Overclocking Vengeance memory supports the Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) standard, and each module is individually factory-programmed with an XMP profile indicating supported timing, frequency and voltages. Just enable XMP on your compatible motherboard and you'll automatically get optimised memory overclocking without having to deal with multiple BIOS settings. Of course, if you're an experienced overclocker — or an aspiring one — you can adjust the settings to push for even higher performance. Designed for Enthusiasts. Backed by Corsair There's a reason why overclockers, extreme gaming enthusiasts and high-end system builders all trust Corsair for high-performance memory that they can instal with confidence and pride. Whether you're breaking your own records or you're simply building a dream gaming rig, you can count on Corsair memory. The Corsair Advantage With a long history of building enthusiast-grade memory and components, we've earned a reputation for quality, compatibility, and performance. Need help?

Technical Specifications 1600 MHz with headroom to allow overclocking 1.5 V 10-10-10-27 latency Vengeance heat spreader for styling and performance Intel XMP 1.3 (Extreme Memory Profile) Support Also compatible with Intel and AMD dual channel DDR3 Platforms Review: Brilliant - I'm using this in a new build with an A88xm-Plus motherboard, AMD A8-7600 and one stick of this RAM. You're supposed to use dual channel RAM with this CPU but even though I'm only using one, it's still very fast. You can overclock it (although I probably won't be), it has a decent speed, I can multi-task without any problems and it has a fairly high quality plastic on it. I would recommend it to anyone as it's great for the price. I'll probably pick up another stick soon so that I have more GB to work with but it's a brilliant piece of kit. Review: Great Piece of Kit, Great Buy - I bought two sticks of this RAM, totalling 16GB's. I use it on an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard with an Intel i7 3770K CPU. I work as a 3D artist and animator, so I need as much RAM as possible, video editing software of any kind runs better when you have as much as possible. Adobe After Effects uses 80%+ of the RAM, this is the same no matter how much you have, these sticks are low cost, high quality and high capacity, so you can't go wrong with them. I'd go for higher capacity memory over higher speed memory for most applications, its just more cost effective and the difference in those overclocked speeds are negligable, 1600mhz on a modern system is perfectly good. Also, you have to do some fiddling in Windows if you have RAM over 1600mhz for a Z77 system. So if you're not sure about that, just use this RAM and you will get the best performance without too much messing about. The price has dropped from £45 to nearly £30 since I bought it, so I will probably upgrade at some point in the future :) ## Features - Disclaimer: Maximum Speed requires overclocking/PC BIOS adjustments.

As long as your motherboard support the amount of RAM you have. Another thing to look out for is the RAM being too tall for the area around you CPU fan, if the DIMM slots are close to the fan you might want to consider shorter RAM. **Q: Will this be compatible with the Intel Core i5 2400 processor?** A: yes **Q: Does ram take up much wattage from my psu? how many watts would a full 32gb be sucking up?** A: Like, literally nothing. These are 1.5v modules. And each uses 2-4 watts during normal operation and about ten each during heavy load. And that's assuming /all/ your RAM is in use. But even then its for a short time. So four would be 40W, but only if it were ALL in use and for at least one hour. Get it? **Q: Will this work in a stock dell xps i5?** A: In that case I don't see why it wouldn't work.... I installed 32 GB on an ASUS motherboard and it has been working perfectly from day 1. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by R***N on 8 February 2016* I'm using this in a new build with an A88xm-Plus motherboard, AMD A8-7600 and one stick of this RAM.

I have not tried to overclock as yet as my motherboard does not allow this but the performance of the memory has not been an issue so far. ## Frequently Bought Together - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 1.5V - Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 1.5V - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48861508-corsair-cmz8gx3m1a1600c10-vengeance-8-gb-1-x-8-gb-ddr3](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48861508-corsair-cmz8gx3m1a1600c10-vengeance-8-gb-1-x-8-gb-ddr3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
