Know before you buy
This kit is optimized for Intel Z490 and AMD X570/B550 chipsets. Before purchasing, verify that your specific motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) supports 4000MHz speeds, as high-frequency DDR4 can be dependent on your CPU's memory controller capabilities.
No, the RGB lighting is powered directly through the memory slot on your motherboard. This ensures a clean, wire-free look inside your case.
The memory will run at a default SPD speed of 2666MHz upon first installation. To achieve the full 4000MHz performance, you must enable the XMP 2.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings.
A CAS latency of 16 at 4000MHz is considered quite tight, meaning the memory has a faster response time when accessing data. This helps reduce system latency, which can lead to smoother performance in high-frame-rate gaming and demanding applications.
Yes, the dynamic multi-zone lighting is fully customizable. You can manage the colors and patterns using Corsair’s iCUE software, which allows you to sync the lighting with other compatible components.
No, this is a DDR4 memory kit and is physically and electrically incompatible with DDR3 slots. Ensure your motherboard specifically supports DDR4 UDIMM modules.
