Know before you buy
Yes, this kit comes with the Dominator Airflow Platinum LED fan, which provides active cooling to help maintain stability during intensive tasks.
You can reach the rated speed by enabling the XMP 2.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings. Without enabling this profile, the memory will default to the standard SPD speed of 2133MHz.
This kit is specifically optimized for Intel platforms, including the 300, 400, 500, X99, and X299 series. Please verify that your motherboard supports DDR4 UDIMM modules and the 3300MHz frequency before installation.
Yes, the top light bar is configurable and upgradeable. You can swap out the light pipe or modify the aesthetic to better match your system's build.
Patented DHX cooling uses a custom PCB and machined aluminum heat sinks to conduct heat away from the ICs more efficiently. This ensures the memory remains stable and reliable even when pushed to higher performance levels.
This is a quad-channel kit consisting of four 4GB modules. Ensure your motherboard has four available DIMM slots and supports quad-channel memory architecture to get the full benefit of this configuration.
