VENGEANCE RGB RS DDR5: Everything You Need to Know

CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB RS DDR5 memory has been created from the ground up to offer the same great performance and looks we are known for, but at a more affordable price point. To achieve this, VENGEANCE RGB RS uses fewer LEDs than the original non-RS version, coming in at six LEDs per DIMM instead of ten, and the heatsink has been refined as well. Even with fewer LEDs, the panoramic light bar still spreads the lighting smoothly and looks great in most builds.

Here are the all important tech specs:

VENGEANCE RGB RS DDR5 memory kits use tightly screened memory ICs picked for their reliability and tuning headroom, along with custom high-performance PCBs that offer great signal integrity and onboard voltage regulation for precise, stable operation at high frequencies. The solid, stylish aluminum heatspreaders help keep the memory chips cool under load, ensuring you can achieve optimal performance for your system. The DIMMs are backed by CORSAIR limited lifetime warranty for long lasting peace of mind too.

One of the big changes with VENGEANCE RGB RS DDR5 is that the RGB lighting can be controlled directly with your motherboard’s RGB software. You can still use iCUE software to synchronize all your devices, but being able to use ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, or ASRock Polychrome RGB will appeal to anyone trying to keep their software footprint as small as possible.

Compatibility wise, the new VENGEANCE RGB RS DDR5 memory has plenty going for it. For starters, you are looking at support for Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, which means you are covered no matter what CPU you are running. On top of that, the latest motherboard chipsets are natively supported, including AMD 600 and 800 series offerings as well as Intel 700 and 800 series boards. Whether you’re upgrading your current system or building from scratch, be reassured that this memory will just work.

To get the memory running optimally, simply install the DIMMs into the correct slots on your motherboard, enter your BIOS, and select the memory profile that is right for your system. You can run the memory without doing this, but it will not run at optimal speeds or latency settings, meaning you are leaving performance on the table. It only takes a couple of minutes to set up, so do yourself a favor and make sure the profiles are enabled.

There is an alternative route to reaching the pinnacle of performance, and that is the less travelled path of manual overclocking. This may not be everyone’s idea of fun, but there is something satisfying about tweaking a memory kit to get the absolute best throughput possible.

The good news is that the tightly screened chip selection, custom PCB, and solid aluminum heatspreaders put you in a great place to explore manual tuning if you choose to. It is beyond the scope of this article to go deep into overclocking, but as we have seen recently, CORSAIR is at the top of the game when it comes to pushing memory harder than ever.
