This was probably the first support "firewall" where are usually clueless people who tell you what they have in the product specs. The Corsair Vengeance (CMK32GX5M2B5600C36) RAM's 36-36-36-76 (CL36) timings are Mediocre. Based on our analysis, we conclude that the timings rank moderately among other popular RAM models. High compatibility also seems like a surprise as many previous Corsair kits had problems with Gigabyte motherboards while now it works better than G.Skill. Either way, we are 6 months after the premiere and every motherboard manufacturer has problems with DDR5-6000+ compatibility or stability. Some motherboards run higher, some lower, but there are problems with specific RAM brands, used PMIC, used IC, motherboard design flaws, production problems, and some more.
I still have two more DDR5 kits to present but decided to start with Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5-6200 CL36. I'm rarely reviewing Corsair RAM so I was especially interested in how it works and what it offers. Without EXPO support on the memory it's tough to say what it will be capable of. That specific memory is very likely using Samsung memory dies, which at the current moment are considered of lower performance than the possibly currently best option for AMD which is SK Hynix M die memory. For example, DDR5-5600 has a data rate of 5600 MT/s, an effective frequency of 5600 MHz, and a base frequency of 2800 MHz.

RGB works without problems. If we won't use any software then it works as a popular rainbow. These LEDs are great and I really like how Dominator Platinum RGB looks. The tested Dominator Platinum kit works without issues on ASUS Strix Z690I Gaming and Gigabyte Z690 Master. As far as I wasn't worried about the ASUS then Gigabyte causes problems with some other memory kits, especially G.Skill at more than DDR5-5600. Here were have DDR5-6200 at XMP that works fully stable and the motherboard has no problems with booting.
The motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z70-A WIFI. The memory is Corsair CMK32GX5M2B5600C36. They are BOTH on each other's respective compatibility list. The memory kit has one XMP profile at DDR5-6200 CL36-39-39 1.30V and doesn't require any manual adjustments to work. The memory kit passed memtest built-in ASUS motherboard and AIDA64 stability test. Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 test. I have built over 25 computers for myself in my life. This is my son's first build and he has come to me for help. I have spent two weeks trying to figure it out and now come to this forum looking for suggestions.We have tested and confirmed all parts as working, motherboard, memory, SSD, PSU, etc. This is frustrating as since each part works, no one is willing to help as their particular part functions.
Great Deal
