Know before you buy
This kit uses the standard 288-pin DIMM form factor, making it compatible with most modern DDR4 motherboards. However, you should check your motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) or manual to ensure it supports 3600MHz speeds and the Intel XMP 2.0 profile.
The memory will default to a lower, stable speed upon installation. To reach the full 3600MHz, you must enter your motherboard's BIOS and enable the Intel XMP 2.0 profile.
The Vengeance RGB PRO is compatible with Corsair's iCUE software, which offers the most granular control over the multi-zone lighting effects. It is also compatible with many motherboard-based RGB control suites, allowing you to sync the lighting with the rest of your system.
While these modules feature a low-profile design, they are taller than standard non-RGB RAM due to the light bar. It is recommended to verify your CPU cooler's clearance to ensure the modules do not interfere with the heatsink or fan.
Mixing different memory kits, even if they share the same specifications, can lead to stability issues or system crashes. For the best performance and reliability, it is recommended to use a single, matched kit.
CAS Latency (CL) measures the delay between a command being sent and the data being available. CL18 at 3600MHz provides a balanced performance profile that is well-suited for modern gaming and multitasking, offering a responsive experience without the premium cost of lower-latency kits.
