Know before you buy
The memory will default to a lower SPD speed upon installation. To achieve the full 3000MHz, you must enable the XMP 2.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings.
Yes, this kit is compatible with both Intel and AMD DDR4 systems. While it is optimized for Intel XMP, it will function on AMD platforms, though you may need to manually adjust settings in the BIOS if the XMP profile does not load automatically.
No, the LED lighting is powered directly through the DIMM slot on your motherboard. There are no additional cables required to illuminate the modules.
The VENGEANCE LED modules have a standard height, but the integrated heat spreaders do add some bulk. We recommend checking your CPU cooler's clearance specifications if you are using a large air cooler to ensure there is no physical interference.
No, the LED lighting on this specific model is fixed to red. If you require customizable RGB lighting, you would need to look at the Corsair Vengeance RGB series instead.
C15 refers to the CAS latency, which is a measure of the delay between the memory receiving a command and executing it. A lower number like 15 indicates faster response times, contributing to the overall performance of the kit.
