Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro Light Enhancement Kit are Dummy DDR4 Modules
Most gamers probably have only 2 out of 4 DDR4 DIMM slots populated in their rigs, with the vacant memory slots presenting an eyesore for some. Just so you don't have to spend an additional $170+ on a second Vengeance RGB Pro 2-module dual-channel kit to make your memory area look "complete," Corsair has come up with a $40 quick-fix, the Vengeance RGB Pro Light Enhancement Kit (model: CMWLEKIT2W/B). These are dummy modules that look exactly like real Vengeance RGB Pro, and fill up the vacant memory slots on your motherboard.
These "modules" add a grand total of 0 bits to your system memory and are clocked lower than a tuning fork, but draw power from the DIMM slots to drive the RGB LED lighting that can run in sync with your real Vengeance RGB Pro modules. Corsair is using an addressable RGB setup, so motherboard-based software can control or synchronize them with the rest of your lighting. Corsair is offering these 2-pack Light Enhancement Kits in two flavors - black and white. Both variants are priced at $39.99. If you're buying pre-built desktops with Vengeance RGB Pro, insist on finding out if they've used one of these to make a single-channel setup look like dual-channel.

Do they have a non-RGB version too?
Appearance over functionality to the MAXA fool and his/her/its money are soon parted
Born every moment a sucker.
Seriously though, if this were cheaper, it's a decent idea. 16GB is more than enough for most, but many mobos have 4 slots (so two empty ones). My own (HEDT) has 8 slots (128GB capacity). It's gonna cost me a ton to fill all of that, but it's kind of an eyesore in the meantime.
If I could make my own, I would.
Those that want more Corsair RGB goodness
People that are wrong
People who are right
FTFY.
At least that's my case. It started with my new mobo.. I wish I could turn it off easily, but Supermicro are retards and their own software doesn't work if you have Secure Boot on (and you can't turn it off if you installed your system with it).
I have had a quick look at this RGB crisis. (no i didn't buy any of it).
I have visited various manufacturers websites and googled pictures of the accompanying software bundles that ship with the plague.
from what i was able to ascertain most software has an option to "CUSTOMIZE" the hardware lighting in such a way that the diode will remain unlit,
Thus making it less possible upon first glance to see how many DIMMs are populated.. there you go.. Please donate half the $40 dollars i saved you directly to a worthwhile charity of your choosing.
Kind Regards,
