US CORSAIR How about CORSAIR memory brand introduction

Recommended series: Ruler Platinum, Avenger RGB, Avenger RGB PRO, Avenger LPX
 
As one of the world's leading manufacturers of overclocked memory, Corsair memory is the memory of choice for many computer enthusiasts. Founded more than 20 years ago, today's Corsair not only performs well in the memory market, but also has a very high reputation in computer components and peripherals such as chassis, keyboards and mice, and is recognized as a leading brand of enthusiast computer components in the market.
 
Corsair's memory is positioned at the high-end, and most of its products meet overclocking needs. Overclocking is a huge test for the stability of memory, and when the rated frequency of the memory is exceeded, the memory can pass the "high-voltage test" stably without crashing and play higher performance, which requires more optimization from the manufacturer. It's because of the excellent optimization for overclocking performance that Corsair memory stands out from the crowd of memory manufacturers and has won unanimous praise from computer enthusiasts.
 
With the development and popularization of technology, there are more and more computer enthusiasts, and the overclocking performance of computer components is gradually becoming well-known. Today, most of Corsair's DDR4 memory supports XMP technology, which is provided by Intel, which optimizes the specifications of DDR4 memory and enables the memory to be automatically overclocked.
 
It's important to note that because memory overclocking essentially exceeds the rated frequency of the memory, improper overclocking is likely to cause memory corruption. Even if the memory is not damaged, the heat of the memory will increase considerably. While overclocking can improve system performance, caution should be exercised when overclocking, and overclocking is generally not recommended. In addition, the memory can meet the vast majority of scenarios without overclocking, and overclocking performance is still a niche requirement.
 
Corsair's product line is generally divided into several large series, such as Avenger, Ruler, and Value Select, and the Avenger series is divided into several small series such as Avenger LPX, Avenger RGB, and Avenger RGB PRO. Most of these products are positioned as high-end and suitable for gaming enthusiast scenarios, and most of them are equipped with heatsinks as standard and support XMP overclocking technology.
 
Corsair Dominator Platinum memory supports up to DDR4 3600 rated frequencies to meet the installation needs of high-end gaming consoles. In order to better solve the heat dissipation problem when overclocking, the Ruler Platinum series not only covers the heat sink of memory particles, but also adds a detachable top heat sink, which uses more heat dissipation materials than the Avenger series and has more powerful performance.
 
The ruler series products have added LED strips to the top heat sink, and users can buy heat dissipation accessories of different colors of lights to match and combine their favorite light effects. The ruler platinum series is sold in a set version, DDR4 3200 8GBx2 package version is priced at 1799 yuan, which is better than the same configuration RGB PRO heat dissipation materials, but the price is slightly more expensive.
 
Both the Corsair Avenger RGB and RGB PRO support XMP profiles for easy overclocking. The product frequency ranges from DDR4 3000 to DDR4 3600, covering a wide range of gaming enthusiast motherboards. RGB and RGB PRO are both high-end audiophile products, similar performance, the main difference is the lighting effect, Corsair RGB PRO can generate phantom light effects, RGB series only supports monochrome dynamic display. RGB PRO DDR4 3200 8GBx2 set is priced at 1699 yuan, which is 100 yuan more expensive than RGB with cooler lighting, suitable for enthusiasts who are obsessed with RGB lighting effects.
 
For users who don't like lighting effects, the Avenger LPX without lighting effects is also a good choice. Compared with the Avenger RGB, which focuses on gaming enthusiasts, the Avenger LPX is positioned more mass-public. Equipped with an all-aluminum heatsink and XMP overclocking, the Avenger LPX series has a wide range of frequencies to choose from, supporting the mainstream DDR4 2400 frequency in the market, which can meet the installation needs of more users.
 
It should be noted that most of the Avenger LPX model packages (such as 8Gx2) are more expensive than buying two products with the same configuration (8G) separately. The set generally provides serial memory, and it is rumored that the serial memory is more compatible, in fact, as long as it is the same type of memory, there will generally be no compatibility problems, and users can directly buy an affordable one between a single strip and a set.
 
For those who are upgrading their old computers, Corsair also has Value Select memory products. Value Select is a mainstream-level memory, not for enthusiasts, but it can also be used for everyday applications, and you don't have to worry about lack of performance when the capacity is right. The notebook memory DDR3 1600 8GB version is only priced at 439 yuan, which is cost-effective.
