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.

Can you take apart this thing? Ie used as a heatsink?
why on earth would anyone want to turn their pcs into neon signs in some shady red light district just buy a fake one on Aliexpress
it would probably be cheaper than a dummy
So it is far beyond nonsense. I dont need 32GB of ram though. So Id rather either have 16GB in the form of 4x4GB sticks or 2x8GB sticks with 2 dummy sticks. And since Corsair and other companies dont do that, id rather have 2 real and 2 dummy. Not to mention Ill get a better OC with 2 RAM sticks rather than 4.
Update
Corsair answer is NO!
I just suggested they should make one.
