Corsair is selling dummy RAM sticks with RGB lights to help you fill up your RAM slots
Your setup just looks better when you’ve got all four RAM slots populated. That’s especially true when you’ve got RGB memory modules, which simply don't look as good when separated by an awkward gap.
But with memory prices the way they are, what’s one to do? Dummy modules, apparently. Corsair has announced the Vengeance RGB Pro Light Enhancement Kit, which is a package of two fake RAM sticks that each feature 10 addressable RGB LEDs. The Enhancement Kit is available in either black or white, so you can match it with the Vengeance RGB Pro kit you have.
These are solely for aesthetic purposes only, and they’re not going to do anything to boost your system specifications. It's frivolous for sure, but we also already have RGB-illuminated extension cables and cable combs.
After all, maybe having a rig that looks good is more important than actually having 32GB of RAM.
Corsair isn’t the first to do this though. Back in June, Gigabyte also revealed its Aorus RGB LED kit with two sticks of real RAM and another two dummy sticks.
I wouldn’t be surprised if more manufacturers started to do the same as well. After all, PC enthusiasts have been known to do crazier things.
