CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM 16GB 5200MHz AMD EXPO Intel XMP 3.0 - Grey

The Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 16GB 5200MHz (CMH16GX5M1B5200Z40) is a single-stick DDR5 desktop memory module from the Vengeance RGB line, finished in grey. It is aimed at PC builders putting together a DDR5-ready system on AM5 or LGA 1700/1851 platforms who want a clean upgrade path with addressable RGB lighting and verified plug-and-play overclocking profiles. Verified specifications (from the source listing): - Memory type: DDR5 - Capacity: 16GB, configured as 1 x 16GB (single module) - Rated speed: 5200 MHz - Latency: CL40, primary timings 40-40-40-77 - Voltage: 1.25V - Profile support: AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 - Series: Corsair Vengeance RGB - Colour: Grey heatspreader - SKU / part number: CMH16GX5M1B5200Z40 What that means in practice: DDR5 at 5200 MT/s is the JEDEC-aligned baseline for current-gen Intel and AMD desktop platforms, so this stick gives you a straightforward, supported speed without forcing aggressive memory tuning. CL40 at 1.25V is the standard latency/voltage pairing for this tier of DDR5. Because both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles are stored on the module, enabling the rated speed is a single BIOS toggle on either platform - no manual timing entry required. The single-module (1 x 16GB) configuration is best suited to buyers starting a build with room to add a matched second stick later, or topping up an existing DDR5 system that already runs a compatible kit. For dual-channel performance from day one, two matched modules (or a factory 2 x 8GB / 2 x 16GB kit) are the recommended approach; mixing un-matched sticks can fall back to slower speeds. Typical fits include 1080p and entry 1440p gaming rigs, everyday productivity, content creation timelines, and streaming workloads where 16GB total is enough headroom. It is less ideal for memory-heavy workloads such as large virtual machines, high-resolution video editing or AI workflows that benefit from 32GB or 64GB capacities - in those cases consider stepping up to a higher-capacity Vengeance or Dominator DDR5 kit.
