CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2019-02-26

The new DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB kits from CORSAIR do feature a really impressive lighting system thanks to the 12 bright CAPELLIX LEDs and are driven by the already-proven unified iCUE software. These include a custom 10-layer PCB for good signal quality and the ICs are well binned in order to meet the product specifications. We have found out that these kits also have a bit of overclocking headroom, if you are willing to increase the voltage up to 1.4.

Packaging, A Closer Look

Not long ago, CORSAIR has launched their revised DDR4 memory kits, from the DOMINATOR series, now named PLATINUM RGB. CORSAIR has quite a few experience in the field and the new series comes with speeds from 3000Mhz up to a fantastic 4800MHz; the module densities are of 8GB and 16GB and have a custom performance 10-layer PCB. DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB do sport a high quality aluminum heatsink implementation, while the 12 ultra-bright individually addressable CAPELLIX RGB LEDs do allow very in-depth customization, thanks to the iCUE unified software.

 

The new series comes in a compact packaging, showing the total capacity of the current kit, the operating frequency, but also the fact that these are Intel XMP certified:

In each of the corners, we will be able to spot the internal foam layer:

 

 

 

For our 32GB 3600MHz kit, each foam layer includes two modules, which are protected in a transparent plastic mold as well:

 

 

 

The side plates of each module is made of forged aluminum with anodization and do sport a black CORSAIR logo in the middle:

 

 

 

The top bar is composed of two parts, is made of die-casted zinc alloy with microarc oxidation and is also secured with two screws, on each side of the module:
