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.

wow paying that much for some LED is just stupid
why on earth would anyone want to turn their pcs into neon signs in some shady red light district
ebivanBut where is that Dummy 2080Ti for all those secret iGPU users among us?
just buy a fake one on Aliexpress
it would probably be cheaper than a dummy

SupercritWithout spending on all the RGB nonsense the buyer could probably afford two extra real ram sticks for better performance.
RGB isnt nonsense and I will defend this everytime. RGB allows people to change the theme of their machine on the fly. After a certain period, I may get tired of green or blue and I can change my color theme to white, red, orange, yellow, etc without the need to purchase new fans to make that look happen. Not to mention, you cant really even find certain fan colors at all. And I can have the colors be lighter or darker.

So it is far beyond nonsense.
oxrufiioxoI prefer the real thing.
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.

We actually have pretty similar systems comically I came from x99 so 4 sticks at the time was a must... On my current system I would have went 2x16gb as I find 32GB much smoother than my old Corsair LPX 4x4GB although that ram was also a bit slower in general.

One question, can I put my naked rams in them to make it actually work?
Update
Corsair answer is NO!
I just suggested they should make one.
