Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M1E3200C16 Review
Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M1E3200C16 is a single 8GB DDR4-3200 CL16 module in the low-profile black aluminum heat spreader design, 1.35V, Intel XMP 2.0 certified, sold as one stick rather than a matched kit.
A single 8GB stick is the quiet workhorse of the Vengeance LPX line: cheap insurance for a second channel slot, a spare for a build that only needs one module, or a way to hit exactly 24GB or 40GB when paired with an existing kit. The low-profile aluminum heat spreader clears even the tightest low-profile air coolers, and 3200MHz at CL16 is a sensible, well-supported speed on almost any current Intel or AMD board without touching a BIOS overclocking menu.
Why Buy It
Single-module Vengeance LPX sticks fill an odd but common need: topping up an existing kit to an uneven total, replacing a dead module without buying a whole new set, or building the cheapest possible single-channel system. The low-profile shroud means compatibility is never a concern with tower coolers.
Speed and Latency
Speed and CL only mean something together: 16 cycles at 3200MT/s is 10ns of real delay., the common baseline for DDR4 gaming kits.

Expert rating6 / 10
A sensible single-stick option for upgrades and replacements, but a 2x8GB kit is the better buy for a new dual-channel build.
Best for
- Topping up an existing DDR4 kit to an odd capacity
- Replacing a single failed Vengeance LPX module
- Budget single-channel HTPC or office builds
Not for
- New dual-channel gaming builds (buy a matched kit instead)
- Anyone chasing maximum memory bandwidth
- Systems needing RGB lighting
