CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 8GB 5200 MT/s (1x8GB) CL40 Module

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 8GB 5200 MT/s (1x8GB) CL40 Module is a single DDR5 memory module engineered for systems with DDR5-compatible motherboards. The module provides 8GB of capacity, a rated data transfer rate of 5200 MT/s and a CAS latency of CL40. Integrated RGB lighting across the heatspreader allows basic aesthetic customization when paired with compatible motherboard RGB control or CORSAIR iCUE software. The module fits standard DDR5 DIMM slots and follows the form factor and electrical specifications defined for DDR5 single-channel operation.

Advantages

The module offers increased memory bandwidth compared with previous-generation DDR4 modules at the same capacity, enabling smoother multitasking and improved data throughput for applications that benefit from higher DRAM frequency. The built-in RGB lighting gives visual customization options without adding separate RGB accessories. As a single 8GB stick, it provides an easy upgrade path for systems that accept DDR5 DIMMs and supports straightforward installation into available DIMM slots.

Suitable for

• Everyday desktop computing and office tasks
• Entry-level gaming systems that require DDR5 memory
• Content creation workflows with moderate memory demands
• System upgrades to DDR5-capable motherboards

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect the power cable before installing the module. Open the system case and locate an available DDR5 DIMM slot on the compatible motherboard. Align the notch on the module with the slot key, insert the module at a slight angle and press down evenly until the side latches click into place. After installation, reconnect power and start the system. Enter the motherboard BIOS/UEFI to verify that the module is recognized and operating at the expected 5200 MT/s; enable any XMP or EXPO-style profile if supported and required to run at the rated speed. For RGB lighting control, install the motherboard RGB software or CORSAIR iCUE to configure lighting effects if desired.

Usage recommendations

Install modules in matched pairs if you require dual-channel memory bandwidth; using a single module will operate in single-channel mode. When planning system memory capacity for demanding applications, consider adding additional modules to achieve higher total capacity and improved parallel throughput. Consult the motherboard manual for supported DDR5 speeds, slot population rules and BIOS settings before enabling overclocking or custom voltage adjustments.
