Corsair VENGEANCE LED DDR4-3200 32GB Memory Kit Review

The Lights and Testing Procedures
When you install your memory and power your system on you’ll notice the light bars on the modules light up white. This gives a very cool effect and the LEDs are quite bright.

You can actually control the LEDs on the kit using Corsair’s Link software. In the Home screen you’ll see the memory and each module. If you click on one of the modules you’ll be able to set the mode to either static or pulse, the brightness, the speed (of the pulse) and if you want all of the modules grouped. You can also have a group delay so the modules can pulse in and out like they are going down a line, its pretty cool.
