CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB 16GB 2x8GB DDR5 DIMM 5200MT/s CL40-40-40-77 1.25V Intel XMP Desktop Memory - Black

The Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 16GB 5200MHz (CMH16GX5M2B5200C40) is a 16 GB DDR5 memory module operating at 5200 MHz with a CAS latency of 40 and 288-pin DIMM form factor. It delivers high data throughput for modern multi-core CPUs, enabling smoother multitasking, faster content creation and responsive gaming. The module includes a panoramic RGB light bar with individually addressable LEDs for system illumination.

Advantages

This DDR5 module offers significantly higher data rates compared with previous generations, reducing bottlenecks in demanding multi-threaded workloads. Ten individually addressable, ultra-bright RGB LEDs per module provide flexible lighting options. Onboard voltage regulation combined with iCUE software control enables more stable and precise performance tuning and overclocking. Custom Intel XMP 3.0-compatible profiles simplify applying optimized settings.

Suitable for

• Gaming PCs requiring high memory bandwidth and RGB lighting
• Content creation and video editing workstations
• Multitasking systems running many browser tabs or background applications
• Users who want to customize memory performance with XMP profiles
