Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 Review

Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 is a single 8GB DDR4-3000 CL16 module, low-profile black aluminum heat spreader, 1.35V, Intel XMP 2.0.

It remains the same trusted low-profile LPX shroud and CL16 timing, just tuned to an older but still widely compatible frequency.

Speed and Latency

The number that matters is true latency, not CL alone. Here it is 16 / (3000 / 2) x 1000 = 10.7ns. That sits on the loose end: 86% of the desktop DDR4 kits we track match or beat it.

Platform Fit

Fits DDR4 desktop boards: AMD AM4 and Intel 6th to 14th gen boards with DDR4 slots. It does not fit DDR5 boards. Profiles: XMP 2.0.

Our verdict

  • Anyone wanting RGB
  • High-refresh competitive gaming rigs
