A few weeks ago, Corsair unveiled its first 48 GB DDR5 memory kits, two 24 GB memory modules. We received today a copy of the Corsair Vengeance RGB kit clocked at 7000 MT/s with timings of 40-52-52-114 for a voltage of 1.40 volt.
We were looking forward to reviewing this new kit, but not everything went as planned as we told you in this brief. Indeed, our sample of the day simply refused to work on our test platform built around the Z690 chipset, the BIOS simply not being compatible with this 48 GB capacity even though we are on a high-end APEX motherboard. We will have to test this kit on our ROG Z790 APEX motherboard but without having a point of comparison. If Asus releases a compatible BIOS in the coming weeks, as we believe it will, we will update our graphics of course.
Don’t hesitate to ask us your questions if you encounter any setup issues, either in comments or on our social networks. You can also join our community on the discord. We also take this opportunity to thank Corsair for its support and the availability of this 2 x 24 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 7000 MT/s CL40 kit.
We take stock of the kits available to us:
Since this is an article where we will make comparative tests, it seemed interesting to us to review the different kits in our possession. You will be able to know in detail the characteristics of each of them. You can also take a look at the section where our latest memory kit tests are available and find the one that interests you.

So, a little comment on the choice of unit for the memory frequency. For several months now, manufacturers and many of our colleagues have not used MHz to talk about the frequency of the memory. Either some use MT/s or Mbps. On our side, we will pass on MT/s at the moment while waiting to see what will become the new standard.
