Kit capacity and target use

This Corsair Vengeance LPX kit provides 16GB of DDR4 memory in two 8GB modules rated at 3600 MT/s with CL18 latency. It is intended for desktop builders who want a matched pair for dual-channel operation on mainstream platforms.

Build fit and clearance

The low-profile anodized aluminum heatspreader reduces module height so the DIMMs fit beneath larger CPU coolers and inside compact cases. Each module runs at 1.35V and uses a custom performance PCB that helps manage thermals during sustained loads.

What the bundle adds

The two-module pack delivers a factory-matched 16GB capacity without the need to source single sticks separately. Individually screened ICs and tested compatibility with AMD X470, X570, B550 and Intel 300- and 400-series chipsets aim to simplify first-boot stability.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.35 V voltage limit headroom when I push the 3600 speed all day?

The modules run at 1.35 V from the factory. That voltage is the rated operating point for the 3600 CL18 profile, so sustained use stays within the specified limit.

How hot do the red anodized aluminum heatspreaders get during an all-day workload?

The pure aluminum heatspreader and custom performance PCB are designed to move heat away from the ICs, keeping the modules cooler during extended sessions.

Which motherboard chipsets must I already have to run this 288-pin kit at its rated 3600 speed?

The kit is validated for AMD X470, X570, B550 and Intel 300- and 400-series chipsets.
