Know before you buy
This kit is specifically optimized for Intel 300, 400, 500, and X299 series motherboards. Please check your motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) to ensure it supports the 3400MHz frequency and the 4x4GB configuration.
This memory defaults to a standard SPD speed of 2133MHz upon installation. To reach the rated 3400MHz, you must enable the XMP 2.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings.
Yes, the Vengeance LPX series is specifically engineered with a low-profile height to fit into compact cases where larger, bulkier memory modules might interfere with CPU coolers or other components.
The included fan is designed to provide active cooling for the memory modules, but it does add height and width to the installation area. Ensure your case has sufficient clearance above the RAM slots before installing the fan assembly.
This 4x4GB configuration is designed to take advantage of quad-channel memory architectures found on high-end desktop platforms like Intel X299. If your motherboard only has two memory slots, you should look for a 2x8GB kit instead.
Individually screening the memory chips ensures that every module in the kit meets the advertised performance and stability standards. This process provides better reliability and more consistent headroom when overclocking.
