Kit Capacity and Profile

This is a 16GB dual-channel kit built from two 8GB DDR4 modules. The low-profile heat spreader measures 32mm tall so it fits under large air coolers or in compact cases. It is aimed at enthusiasts and gamers who need reliable memory without clearance issues.

Speed and Latency

The modules run at 3600MHz with a CAS latency of 18 at 1.35V. Intel XMP 2.0 support lets the kit load its rated profile automatically on compatible motherboards. The memory is also backwards compatible with lower speeds down to 2133MHz.

Thermals and Power

An aluminium heat spreader covers each module to move heat away from the DRAM during sustained loads. Operating at 1.35V keeps power draw modest for DDR4 at this frequency. The low-profile design does not add audible noise because it has no moving parts.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 mm low-profile heat spreader clear my large CPU air cooler?

The modules measure 32 mm tall, so they fit under most tower coolers that leave at least that much clearance above the motherboard slots.

My motherboard only supports DDR4 up to 3200 MHz; will this kit still work?

Yes, the kit is backwards compatible and will run at 3200, 3000, 2933, 2800, 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz depending on what the board allows.

Do I need to enable a BIOS profile to reach the rated 3600 MHz speed?

The kit includes an Intel XMP 2.0 profile; enable it in the BIOS to set 3600 MHz at CL18 and 1.35 V automatically.
