CORSAIR, a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today announced a new kit of its award-winning CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 Memory, becoming the first commercially available high-frequency DRAM to break the 5,000 MHz barrier. This record-setting Micron-based memory is available now in a 2x 8 GB kit, reaching its full potential in select MSI X570 motherboards running 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors.

VENGEANCE LPX once again sets a new milestone in the world of performance memory, continuing to deliver on its long-standing tradition of excellence thanks to the partnership between CORSAIR, MSI, and AMD. The new modules have been specifically designed and fully tested to achieve their record-breaking maximum frequency of 5,000 MHz on the Ryzen 3000 platform in MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE, MSI MEG X570 ACE, MSI MEG X570 UNIFY, and PRESTIGE X570 CREATION motherboards using their included automated overclocking utilities.An included optional VENGEANCE Airflow Fan directly cools the memory modules to ensure their high-frequency performance even when running at the most demanding settings.

"Pushing the limits of performance DRAM is a constant focus for us," said Reimar Goetze, Senior Manager of Memory Products at CORSAIR. "With the help of key partners such as MSI and AMD, we are thrilled to stay at the forefront of the industry with another record-setting launch."

"This impressive feat is only made possible with the highest quality components, such as our latest X570 motherboards and VENGEANCE LPX memory," said Ted Hung of MSI, Computing and Display Business Unit General Manager. "We are always driven to break the barriers of what is possible, and CORSAIR has proven to be a great partner in helping us achieve that."

With DDR4-5000 MHz now within reach for consumers everywhere, CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX is the leading choice for builders of today's most powerful custom PCs.
