Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB DDR4 deal at Newegg gives savvy PC builders a cheaper way to upgrade amidst sky-rocketing memory prices

Corsair remains one of the premier RAM-makers in our experience, and while much of the attention this year has been on soaring DDR5 prices, but DDR4 hasn't escaped the wider memory squeeze either, making upgrades much more expensive than they were last year.

Still, for a nice saving on a top memory maker, the 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 kit is down to $260 (was $300) at Newegg .

What you're getting for your money is a well-established Corsair kit with a good combination of capacity, speed and relatively tight timings for an existing DDR4 system.

32GB Vengeance RGB Pro RAM: was $299.99 now $259.99 The kit consists of two 16GB DDR4-3200 modules running at CL16, with 16-20-20-38 timings.

Intel XMP 2.0 support lets compatible systems apply the performance profile through the BIOS.

Each module also has an anodized aluminum heat spreader and ten individually addressable RGB LEDs.

View Deal Why we recommend it DDR4-3200 CL16 remains a decent specification for many existing Intel and AMD DDR4 systems.

It offers reasonably tight latency, and the two-module configuration gives you a straightforward dual-channel setup.

Corsair also uses a custom PCB and screened memory ICs with stability and overclocking in mind.

XMP 2.0 makes reaching the rated settings straightforward on compatible hardware so there's no need to configure timings manually.

It looks good too.

The RGB implementation gives you ten individually addressable LEDs on each module, with extensive customization available through iCUE.

Price context & historical value $259.99 is around 13% off the usual $299.99 asking price.

That's not too bad in today's expensive memory market, but 32GB DDR4 kits have sold for an awful lot less in the not-so recent past.
