Know before you buy
XMP 2.0 allows your motherboard to automatically detect and apply the memory's optimal speed and latency settings. You simply enable the XMP profile in your BIOS to ensure the RAM runs at its rated 2666MHz speed without manual configuration.
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.
The patented DHX cooling technology uses machined aluminum heat sinks to dissipate heat away from the memory ICs. This ensures the modules remain stable and reliable even during extended periods of high-performance operation.
The modules feature built-in white LED lighting and include a configurable top bar. You can swap or upgrade the light pipe to better match your system's aesthetic.
Yes, these modules are compatible with the CORSAIR LINK system. This allows you to monitor your memory temperatures directly through the software to ensure your system is running within safe parameters.
The tested speed of 2666MHz is the performance rating achieved when the XMP profile is enabled. The SPD speed of 2133MHz is the default 'safe' speed the memory will run at if XMP is not configured in your BIOS.
