Know before you buy
While this kit is optimized for Intel XMP, it is generally compatible with AMD platforms. However, you may need to manually adjust settings in your BIOS or use your motherboard's equivalent profile to reach the rated 3600MHz speed.
You can fully customize the 12 CAPELLIX LEDs using Corsair's iCUE software. This allows you to sync the lighting effects with other compatible Corsair components or create unique color profiles.
Yes, this is a standard 288-pin DDR4 memory kit. As long as your motherboard supports DDR4 and has available DIMM slots, it will be physically compatible.
CAS latency refers to the delay between the memory receiving a command and executing it. A C18 rating at 3600MHz provides a strong balance of speed and responsiveness, making it well-suited for high-performance gaming and multitasking.
Yes, you must enable the XMP profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings after installation. Without enabling this profile, the memory will likely run at a lower default speed.
The Dominator Platinum series features a premium, robust heat spreader design that makes these modules taller than standard RAM. You should check your CPU cooler clearance to ensure there is no interference before installation.
