Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600 CL18 desktop RAM

SKU CH-TRSY-2JV8M MPN CMK16GX4M2D3600C18

A 16 GB dual-channel DDR4 kit running at 3600 MT/s with CL18 timings and a low-profile aluminum heatspreader

  • Total capacity16 GB (2 × 8 GB)
  • Rated speedDDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
  • CAS latencyCL18
  • Memory timings18-22-22-42
  • Rated voltage1.35 V
  • Memory profilesIntel XMP 2.0
  • High-speed 3600 MHz DDR4 boosts system responsiveness
  • Low 1.35 V operation reduces power draw and heat
  • Aluminium heatspreader keeps modules cool under load
  • Intel XMP 2.0 profile enables simple one-click overclocking
  • Low-profile design fits tight CPU cooler clearances

Ready for high-frequency desktop builds

This kit delivers 16GB of DDR4 memory in two 8GB modules rated at 3600MHz with CL18 timings of 18-22-22-42. It runs at 1.35V and includes Intel XMP 2.0 profiles for automatic configuration on compatible platforms. The low-profile black aluminum heatspreader fits tight spaces and a wide range of CPU coolers.

Steady throughput on extended workloads

The eight-layer PCB and individually screened ICs maintain signal integrity during long rendering, compilation or gaming sessions. Rated timings of 18-22-22-42 stay stable without voltage increases beyond the specified 1.35V. XMP 2.0 applies the profile cleanly so sustained bandwidth remains consistent across heavy multi-core tasks.

Cool and quiet under normal power draw

Pure aluminum heatspreaders move heat away from the memory chips without requiring active airflow directly on the modules. Operating at 1.35V keeps power draw modest for a 3600MHz kit, reducing the thermal load inside the case. The low-profile design avoids obstructing case fans, helping overall system acoustics stay low.

Questions about this item

How warm do the aluminum heatspreaders get when the 16GB kit runs at 3600 MHz all day?

The pure aluminum heatspreaders and eight-layer PCB are designed to dissipate heat quickly, keeping modules cooler during sustained high-performance workloads.

Which motherboard slot and BIOS profile are required to reach the rated 3600 speed?

Install the 288-pin DDR4 modules into a compatible Intel 300/400/500/600 series, X299 or AMD 300/400/500/X570 board and enable the Intel XMP 2.0 profile in BIOS.

Will these low-profile sticks clear a large CPU cooler on an older Intel 300-series board?

The low-profile design measures 1.32 inches tall, so it fits under most oversized air coolers while still working with Intel 300-series chipsets when XMP 2.0 is enabled.
