Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-1866)

The Corsair Vengeance 16 GB arrives as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9.6ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles.

As a high-end DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $173.43 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
