Know before you buy
The C14 rating indicates a lower latency compared to standard DDR4 memory, which allows the RAM to access data faster. This results in snappier system responsiveness and improved performance in memory-intensive tasks like gaming or content creation.
No, you do not need to manually configure settings. This kit supports XMP 2.0, which allows you to enable the rated 3200MHz speed automatically through your motherboard's BIOS with a single click.
While the DHX cooling technology and aluminum heat sinks are highly effective on their own, the included fan provides active cooling that is beneficial if you plan on heavy overclocking or running your system in a case with limited airflow.
Yes, the top light bar is configurable and upgradeable. You can swap out the light pipe or add a light bar kit to customize the aesthetic to better match your build's color scheme.
This kit is specifically optimized for Intel 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 series chipsets. Please verify that your motherboard supports DDR4 UDIMM modules before purchasing.
CORSAIR LINK allows you to monitor your memory's temperature in real-time directly from your desktop. This is particularly useful for users who want to keep a close eye on thermal performance during intensive workloads.
