Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 4x8GB vs Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 4x8GB gets there at 3200 MT/s at CL16, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB at 3600 MT/s at CL18. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 4x8GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 25600 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 4x8GB ships as 4 × 8GB, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB. 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 4x8GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB has RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 4x8GB is 16-20-20-38, and Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB is 18-22-22-42. On error correction: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 4x8GB is published without ECC, and Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3600 2x16GB 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 — and the specifications do not break the tie either: both arrive at 10.00 ns of true latency. What is left to choose on is above.
