DDR4-3200 Performance

The Vengeance LPX kit is rated for speeds up to 3200 MT/s using its supported performance profile.

Memory Speed

• Memory Type: DDR4
• Rated Speed: 3200 MT/s
• Commonly Marketed As: DDR4-3200 / 3200MHz
• PC Rating: PC4-25600

Actual operating speed depends on the CPU, motherboard, BIOS configuration, and memory settings.

CL16 Low-Latency Timings

This kit combines DDR4-3200 performance with CL16 latency.

Rated Timings

• CAS Latency: CL16
• Primary Timings: 16-18-18-36
• Tested Voltage: 1.35V
• Rated Speed: 3200 MT/s

The combination of DDR4-3200 and CL16 makes this kit a popular performance configuration for DDR4 gaming systems.

Intel XMP 2.0 Support

The Vengeance LPX supports Intel XMP 2.0, allowing compatible motherboards to load the memory's rated performance profile through the BIOS.

XMP

• Intel XMP: Yes
• XMP Version: 2.0
• Rated XMP Speed: 3200 MT/s

The memory may initially operate at a lower default JEDEC speed until XMP or the appropriate memory profile is enabled.

Dual-Channel Kit

Using two matched 8GB modules allows the memory to operate in dual-channel mode when installed in the appropriate motherboard DIMM slots.

Dual-channel operation provides increased memory bandwidth compared with a comparable single-module setup.

For best results, follow the motherboard manufacturer's recommended DIMM-slot configuration.

Low-Profile Design

One of the major advantages of the Vengeance LPX series is its low-profile construction.

The modules are designed to provide better clearance for:

• Large CPU air coolers
• Compact PC cases
• Small gaming builds
• Systems with limited DIMM clearance

This makes Vengeance LPX particularly useful when tall RGB memory modules would interfere with CPU cooling hardware.

Aluminum Heat Spreader

Each module uses an aluminum heat spreader designed to help dissipate heat from the memory components.

Benefits

• Improved heat dissipation
• Low-profile construction
• Durable design
• Clean gaming aesthetic
• Suitable for sustained workloads

No RGB Lighting

The Vengeance LPX series focuses on a simple performance-oriented design without integrated lighting.

• RGB Lighting: No
• Color: Black

This makes it a good choice for minimalist PCs or systems where RGB lighting is not required.

Desktop UDIMM

The kit uses standard desktop 288-pin DDR4 UDIMM modules.

• Form Factor: UDIMM
• Pin Count: 288-pin
• ECC: No
• Buffered: No / Unbuffered
• Desktop Memory: Yes
• Laptop SO-DIMM: No
