Top performing RGB RAM for Corsair?
Top performing RGB RAM for Corsair?
Vengeance Pro remains a top choice for RGB RAM, though newer models like RS and RT are gaining attention. Some reviews suggest the RT offers strong performance compared to the Pro SL, Pro, and RS lines. With your setup—Intel i7 7700, GTX 1080, ASUS Prime Z270-A, RMA850X, and H100i CPU cooler—you’re well-equipped to test which variant delivers the best results.

The main variation lies in the heat spreaders. RAM speed depends on frequency and clock settings. Performance stays the same across brands and models (Vengeance LPX, Vengeance Pro SL, Dominator, Ripjaws, Trident Z, Trident Z Royal, etc.) if they share the same frequency, timings, and organization. Manufacturers often omit detailed specs like exact timings, memory types, or IC details, making it hard to predict overclocking potential. They may adjust memory chips based on available stock, so compatibility can be an issue when mixing kits. In short, there are too many variables to simply declare one model superior.
Your desired specs—2x8Gb, 3200MHz, C16—are consistent across both options. This should help determine compatibility with your setup.
None of these will differ much in outcome. Besides CL16 (CAS latency is probably the smallest memory concern), tRCD (second timing step) plays a bigger role in performance.
