Frequently Asked Questions

What motherboards are compatible with this memory?

The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MT/s DIMM Intel XMP — CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 requires a DDR4-compatible motherboard. Compatible platforms include AMD AM4 (B550, X570, B450, etc.) and Intel LGA 1700 (B660, Z690) or LGA 1200 (B560, Z590). DDR4 is NOT compatible with DDR5 slots — they use different pin configurations.

Do I need to enable Intel XMP in BIOS?

Yes. Out of the box, DDR4 memory runs at JEDEC default speed (typically 2133 MT/s). To achieve the rated 3,000 MT/s with CL15-17-17-35 timings, enable Intel XMP in your motherboard BIOS. This is a one-click setting in the memory overclocking section.

Does this kit run in dual-channel mode?

Yes, the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MT/s DIMM Intel XMP — CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 includes 2 modules which enable dual-channel mode when installed in the correct DIMM slots (typically A2+B2 or slots 2+4). Dual-channel doubles memory bandwidth compared to single-channel configuration. Check your motherboard manual for optimal slot placement.

Does this memory have a heatspreader?

Yes, the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MT/s DIMM Intel XMP — CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 features a Aluminum heatspreader. The module height is 34.0 mm.

What warranty does this memory come with?

The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MT/s DIMM Intel XMP — CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 comes with a Limited Lifetime warranty from Corsair.
