Box Contains 1 x Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 16GB (2 x 8GB) Vengeance LP DDR3 - Black Review: Great Performance & Easy Installation - This is a nice quick upgrade that can give your performance just the boost you are looking for. Removing the original dimms and installing only took a few minutes. As these dimms are low profile, there was plenty of space if I needed to install close to the cpu fan. On my Asus ROG board I was able to quickly select the XMP profile and overclock to 1866mhz. Overall, set up is an absolute breeze. If you are having trouble overclocking then you need to check settings and memory profile, as this particular ram is designed for this purpose, and I found that the process could not be simpler. In terms of performance, I opened a dozen browser tabs and some additional programs - games, Spotify, Ableton Live etc. I ran three YouTube videos in 1080p and quickly flicked between them. My machine didn't break a sweat. When I checked System Performance I was only using 30% of my memory. In short, I now have enough speed and headroom to obscenely multitask, and the excess capacity to ensure my machine will be future-proof for several years to come. Previously I had been running 4 gigs of ram. This is just not enough for today's kind of computing, and in my opinion an upgrade to 8 gigs is only a short term solution. Wait until we are running/editing 4k videos and playing/streaming HD games in a few years - 8 gigs will be devoured, especially if you are using an APU or iGPU. I can't pretend to know this for certain, but I do remember once installing 4 gigs - not too long ago - and considering it to be a "beastly" setup. Technology moves fast, but 16GB of easily overclocked memory has some staying power. Highly recommended. Review: Great Price, Great Product - Caught these at a lower than normal price whilst they were out of stock, making buying 32GB of RAM (bought two sets) more affordable. Purchased for use in my new Windows Server 2012 test server but testing in my Gaming Machine. Set the Memory profile to XMP and target frequency to 1600MHz and they worked perfectly. My motherboard is an Asus Rampage Extreme iv (LGA 2011). Not going to test overclocking, I have no need. These score 7.9 under windows 7 an make the use of Virtual Machines a breeze. This is the cheapest I've seen RAM. I want another set for my MiniITX build which currently has only 8GB (2x4GB) of the same brand product. Corsair is so reliable, purchase and you will not be disappointing. ## Features - Outstanding performance at an attractive price - Great for overclocking - Make your system build budget go farther - SPD speed is 1333 MHz ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007TG8QRW | | Best Sellers Rank | 154,761 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 1,120 in Computer Memory | | Brand | Corsair | | Brand Name | Corsair | | Column Address Strobe Latency | 10 | | Compatible Devices | Intel & AMD Platforms | | Compatible devices | Intel & AMD Platforms | | Computer memory size | 16 GB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,214 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1333 MHz | | Form Factor | Desktop | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00843591022408, 04054318036967 | | Item Part Number | CML16GX3M2A1600C10 | | Item Weight | 63 Grams | | Manufacturer | Corsair | | Manufacturer Part Number | CML16GX3M2A1600C10 | | Memory Form Factor | DIMM | | Memory Generation | DDR4 | | Memory Speed | 1600 MHz | | Memory speed | 1600 MHz | | Model Name | CML16GX3M2A1600C10 | | Model Number | CML16GX3M2A1600C10 | | Number of Pins | 288 | | Product Features | Lightweight | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR3 | | RAM Size | 16 GB | | RAM memory technology | DDR3 | | Special feature | Lightweight | | UPC | 132017839431 843591022408 | | Unit Count | 2.0 count | | Voltage | 1.5 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Corsair - **Computer memory size:** 16 GB - **RAM memory technology:** DDR3 - **Memory speed:** 1600 MHz - **Compatible devices:** Intel and AMD Platforms ## Images ![Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rjeOShKML.jpg) ![Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MGMov6k7L.jpg) ![Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/417lQKOlBhL.jpg) ![Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LSPkeUvLL.jpg) ![Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-pGs+jCxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: LP just means the heat sinks are low correct ? I have the Evo 212 cpu cooler. would this get in the way ?** A: Yes. LP means "Low Profile". You will not have any problem with a large Air Cooler. I use this Ram on 3 computers , all of which have large Tower air coolers. 2 are Phanteks PH-TC14PE's one is a Corsair A-70 Air Cooler. They all give me about 1/2" of clearance below the coolers. You will like the Evo 212, one of the best. **Q: Does it work in an alienware x51 r2 specification :ddr3 pc3-12800 non-ecc (1600 mhz)** A: Hi, Seems that for using 16gb in that system you'll be limited to using our DDR3L (low voltage 1.35v) kits, I wouldn't recommend using this one unless your manual does show compatibility for 16gb of DDR3 and not DDR3L solely. If you have any other questions please contact us: support.corsair.com **Q: I purchased this pair about 5 years ago. One stick just failed. Can I buy just one?** A: Hi, I'm afraid we don't sell single modules to replace one of a kit and be able to guarantee compatibility, but please contact us with your proof of purchase for the item and we can look into a replacement for the kit: support.corsair.com **Q: Would this run in a system that currently has: 16gb 1333 mhz ddr3 pc-10600 sdram (intel(r) core(tm) i5-2400 cpu 3.10ghz)???** A: Yes it would work just fine, these are actually 1333 mhz but can be overclocked to 1600 mhz. buy them ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Performance & Easy Installation *by C***Y on 17 January 2014* This is a nice quick upgrade that can give your performance just the boost you are looking for.

What I can say is that the installation was effortless, and for the well known quality brand of Corsair, the price was very reasonable too. One thing to note when assembling your computer; your motherboard will have an optimum 'layout' of the ram slots if you are only using 2 sticks so refer to your motherboard handbook to see which slots are best - it is not always simply matching colours or first in - first out! I would highly recommend this product to fresh builds or upgrades. ## Frequently Bought Together - Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 1.5V - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM --- ## 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/48861509-corsair-cml16gx3m2a1600c10-vengeance-low-profile-16gb-2x8gb-ddr3-1600-mhz](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48861509-corsair-cml16gx3m2a1600c10-vengeance-low-profile-16gb-2x8gb-ddr3-1600-mhz) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
