Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 32GB 5200MHz Memory Review
Brandon Dodman / 2 years ago
How Much Does It Cost?
The Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB 5200MHz kit of memory comes in at around £270 or $360. This price does sound absurd but it’s worth remembering that this is the newest memory technology and with time the prices will come down, but at the moment we need to evaluate it for the price it is currently going for. Is this kit the most expensive DDR5 kit available? no, is it the cheapest? also no.
Overview
In general, the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 saw very respectable results, coming in just below the Dominator Platinum kit in most situations but managing to beat it in a select handful, it matches the performance you would expect when comparing its price to that of the Dominator kit.
The design of the kit has a very clean and mature look to it, it would easily fit in any dark themed PC build that doesn’t have an overabundance of RGB and Is even small enough to comfortably fit in a small form factor case, we had managed to get it into the NZXT H1 with no issues with clearance issues with the AIO tubing.
Unless you happen to need a small form factor kit of memory or a higher base clocked kit without wanting to try your hand at some basic overclocking, I don’t know if I can recommend this kit to you, the other kits we tested saw very similar results to each other for lower price tags when we look at the lower clocked kits. Comparing the Vengeance to the Dominator kit though is another story, the Dominator comes at a much higher price and has the additional cost of RGB to account for.
Should I Buy One?
In conclusion, I would say that whether you buy this kit or not comes down to two major considerations, the first of which is size, if you need a small form factor kit then this is absolutely the kit for you, I won’t even hesitate to recommend it to you. The second consideration is if you don’t care about the speed of the memory and just need something that works well but doesn’t look ugly then I’d suggest maybe going for a cheaper kit and saving that little bit of extra money.
