I haven't used their memory in a while, but their gaming headsets, mice, keyboards, and especially their cases are absolutely top-notch. I reviewed their headset for Newegg and even my beloved Logitech G930 doesn't compete. I have always used high-end Lian Li cases, but after building a few systems with the Corsair Vengeance, my next case will be one of them -- and at like 1/5 the price.
As for memory, I usually get the cheapest trusted brand. No one really notices the performance difference between the slowest and fastest of a particular memory generation. A few % performance is not with several times the price.
Ok little Johnny, we need to have "the talk". It starts one day when you notice a few changes in your rig. A little more ram, a little faster SSD, a slight overlock... the next thing you know you're in your basement powering liquid nitrogen over your CPU screaming for faster calculations of Pi.
Awesome memory! I can't wait for a build with Rampage V Extreme Edition 10, Strix 1080 GTX and RGB cables with these awesome memory. It will look so cool!
They're ruining one of the best things the previous Vengeance LPX DIMMs had going for them, very low height spreaders (lower than Ripjaws at least)... Hopefully the LED version isn't an outright replacement.
I wish all system RAM could be equipped with LEDs. RAM tends to work a lot faster when it's illuminated because, like someone reading a book at night is able to see better with the addition of a desk lamp, devices attempting to read from or write to memory can see a lot more easily and thus work more efficiently under better lighting conditions. I'd take the white LED versions over the red ones because some of my spreadsheets use colors that wouldn't be easy to tell apart from one another in red light. For pornography hounds though, the red light district version is probably preferred so I can see why Corsair released two different versions. One is clearly for work and the other is for bow-chicka-bow-wow.
Come on, we need RAM with LEDs flashing like xmas tree lights. And for all friends and parties wow effect at an intensity of car xenon lights :-) Also, you need to LN2 cool the proper RAM (read "the light source", RAMs are more than fine with passive air colling). After all the more light you concentrate there, the faster the memory gets. Or not? :-D Xeon and xxxx-E machines with enough RAM modules then produce enough light to serve as a weed growing plant as well. Win-win scenario ;-)

Corsair is synonymous with pretty overpriced average memory.Sivar - Friday, June 3, 2016 - link

I want the height my RAM to match the length of my penis. Needless to say, they're getting closer...BrokenCrayons - Thursday, June 2, 2016 - link
