Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 vs Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB in detail

True latency

Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB is the lower-latency kit at 8.89 ns against 9.19 ns for Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19, 0.30 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 runs 4133 MT/s at CL19; Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL16.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 carries the higher rating, 4133 MT/s to 3600 MT/s for Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB — 33064 MB/s per module against 28800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.

Kit layout

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 ships as 2 × 16GB, Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB ships as 4 × 8GB. A real difference, and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for adding later. Which suits comes down to the board and to whether more memory is planned.

Lighting, timings and ECC

On lighting: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 is published with no RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 is 16-20-20-38, and Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB is 16-20-20. On error correction: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4133 CL19 is published without ECC, and Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB is published without ECC. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.

Which to buy

At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4-3600 4x8GB has the lower true latency at 8.89 ns.
