Know before you buy
XMP 2.0 allows you to automatically overclock your memory to its rated 2800MHz speed through your motherboard's BIOS. Without enabling this profile, the modules will default to the standard 2133MHz SPD speed.
This kit is specifically optimized for Intel 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 series motherboards. Please verify that your motherboard supports DDR4 UDIMM modules before purchasing.
The modules feature a subtle white LED light. You can further customize the aesthetic by replacing the top light bar with an optional light bar kit to better match your system's color scheme.
The patented DHX cooling system uses a custom PCB and machined aluminum heat sinks to pull heat away from the memory ICs. This ensures the modules remain stable and reliable even during high-performance tasks.
Hand-screening means each memory chip is individually tested to ensure it meets strict performance and stability standards. This process results in a more reliable kit that is better equipped to handle high-speed operation.
Yes, these modules are compatible with the CORSAIR iCUE ecosystem, allowing you to monitor your memory temperatures in real-time through the software interface.
