Know before you buy
This kit is specifically tested for compatibility with Intel 300, 400, 500, and X299 series motherboards. Before purchasing, verify that your specific motherboard model supports DDR4 memory at 3866MHz speeds to ensure stability.
This kit supports XMP 2.0, which allows you to enable the high-performance profile directly through your motherboard's BIOS settings. Without enabling XMP, the memory will default to the standard SPD speed of 2133MHz.
Yes, the Vengeance LPX series is specifically engineered with a low-profile height to fit into compact cases where larger, bulkier RAM modules might interfere with CPU coolers or other components.
This specific package includes four 4GB modules, totaling 16GB of memory. Please ensure your motherboard has four available DIMM slots to accommodate all sticks.
The 1.2V setting is the standard SPD voltage used for initial system boot-up to ensure compatibility. Once you enable the XMP profile in your BIOS, the voltage will automatically adjust to 1.35V to support the higher 3866MHz performance speed.
