LPX DDR4 BLK 2
Move over, G.Skill, it looks as though another hardware manufacturer is looking to vie for the crown of world's fastest DDR4 memory. The new challenger is from Corsair, which has just unveiled its newest Vengeance LPX 16GB kit, which includes two 8GB DDR4 DIMM modules.

Corsair says that its range-topping Vengeance LPX DIMMs clock in at 4.6GHz, which is equal to that of the G.Skill Trident Z modules. And like its competitor, the Vengeance LPX modules feature hand-picked, high-grade Samsung B-die ICs to ensure stable performance in your gaming rig.

The Vengeance LPX modules having timings of CL19-26-26-46, and operate at a voltage of 1.5 volts. Although the memory was developed in conjunction with ASRock for use in its X299 OC Formula motherboard, they are fully complaint with the Intel XMP 2.0 platform. And they are also of course certified for use with Intel Core X-Series processors.
