Closer Look

As common with Corsair’s mid-range products, the memory is shipped in a compact box that broadcasts some multi-language marketing points along the way.



Vengeance Pro comes in four different color modifications – blue, gold, red and silver, the latter of which we actually have. With all the different motherboard color schemes floating around, silver could be the safest bet as black motherboard PCB and aluminium/nickel-plated heatsink are the scenery you are most likely to have around the memory area.


Technically, each 8GB module of Vengeance Pro is a piece of standard-height black PCB with eight memory chips on either of its sides that are covered by a part-time styling feature, part-time heatspreaders made out of thin aluminium.




Gripping on only by a strip of relatively weak thermal tape, heatsinks can be taken off without any fight or warranty seals to worry about. As predicted on the previous page, this version of the Vengeance Pro is based on memory chips manufactured by Micron. Sadly, we couldn’t detect the exact model of chips is use as those on our own kit are covered by what appears to be a SpecTek marking.



SPD module on the Vengeance Pro provides some basic information on the maker and the model of the memory. It also features four JEDEC profiles up to DDR3-1333 and an XMP with specs that are there to make sure users won’t need to fiddle with the subsettings to get the memory to work.
