Corsair Announces Vengeance Low Profile DDR3 Kits

Corsair recently announced Vengeance LP, the latest addition to the award-winning Vengeance Series high-performance DDR3 line. Vengeance LP memory features heat spreaders with a reduced height of 1.03″ (26.25 millimeters), compared to the standard height of 1.87″ (47.37 millimeters). These modules are designed for high-performance systems with extra-large CPU coolers, small form factor system builds, or other space-constrained applications that prevent the use of standard Vengeance memory. We are really glad to see memory kits like this as we have had issues with the standard Corsair Vengenance memory kits hitting CPU Coolers on numerous test systems here. With many of the upcoming Intel X79 Express boards having memory slots on both sides of the CPU socket it will likely become a bigger issue in the months to come, so Corsair timed the launch of these kits just right. It’s also neat to see some new color options available and with names like Cerulean Blue and Arctic White it’s like you are buying a high-end car and not a memory kit!
