16 GB DDR4 module for desktop builds

This Corsair Vengeance LPX stick delivers 16 GB of DDR4 memory in a single 288-pin DIMM. It runs at 3000 MHz with a CAS latency of CL16 and timings of 16-20-20-38. The module operates at 1.35 V and includes an Intel XMP 2.0 profile for automatic configuration. A low-profile anodized aluminium heatspreader keeps temperatures down during heavy workloads.

3000 MHz speed with CL16 latency

The rated 3000 MHz frequency combined with CL16 timing is the specification that determines whether this module matches your platform’s sweet spot. The XMP 2.0 profile applies the 16-20-20-38 timings and 1.35 V voltage automatically on supporting Intel 100, 200, 300, 400 Series and X299 chipsets. Non-ECC unbuffered operation suits standard desktop motherboards.

Ideal for single-slot 16 GB upgrades on Intel

Builders adding 16 GB to a compatible Intel desktop will appreciate the low-profile height and lifetime warranty. Users needing ECC error correction, multi-module kits for dual-channel bandwidth, or speeds beyond 3000 MHz should consider other options. The black heatspreader fits most colour schemes without clearance issues.

Questions about this item

Will the 3000 MHz speed run automatically or do I need to enable XMP 2.0?

The module is rated at 3000 MHz with CL16-20-20-38 timings at 1.35 V; that speed is reached by enabling the Intel XMP 2.0 profile in the BIOS, otherwise it will fall back to the standard DDR4 JEDEC frequency.

Does the PC4-24000 rating limit the bandwidth I can actually use?

PC4-24000 is the peak transfer rate for DDR4-3000; the real-world ceiling is set by the memory controller and motherboard trace layout, not by the module itself.

Will the low-profile aluminum heatspreader clear my large CPU cooler?

The Vengeance LPX heatspreader is designed to be low-profile, so it fits under most oversized air coolers and in compact cases with tight clearance.
