Know before you buy
Yes, this kit features XMP 2.0 support. You can easily enable the rated 3000MHz speed through your motherboard's BIOS settings for a simple, stable performance boost.
These modules are tested across a wide range of DDR4 motherboards to ensure broad compatibility. As they are standard UDIMM modules, they are designed for most high-performance desktop builds, though it is always wise to check your motherboard's QVL list.
Yes, the top light bar is configurable. You can swap out the light pipe or add a light bar kit to change the aesthetic to better match your system's color scheme.
The patented DHX cooling system uses machined aluminum heat sinks and a custom PCB to pull heat away from the memory chips. This ensures the modules remain stable and reliable even during intense gaming sessions or heavy workloads.
No, this is non-ECC, unbuffered memory. It is specifically engineered for gaming and high-performance consumer desktop builds rather than server or workstation environments that require Error Correction Code memory.
The SPD speed of 2133MHz is the default, baseline speed the memory runs at upon first installation. To achieve the advertised 3000MHz performance, you must enable the XMP profile in your BIOS settings.
