Dominator Platinum - The Coolest memory you've seen?

When is comes to DDR3 memory modules there's nearly too much to choose from, the cheap but dull all green Kingston Value memory for example works absolutely fine. Then the regular mainstream DIMMs, then step it up a little and say Corsair Vengeance memory is a hint faster and much cooler looking inside your PC. Then there's extreme overclocking memory for the performance enthusiasts but sitting one notch lower in the memory arena is memory as presented today -- the really cool products.

Stylish RAM memory for the people that need fast performance, the people that build their own PCs, perhaps customize it a little, yes... the ones that treat it carefully and want to design a PC that has the right looks. In that mindset Corsair released new Dominator Platinum memory kits. Not cheap, but uber cool with fantastic looks and frequencies rating up to even PC3-21300 (2666MHz) that can be enabled with simple XMP profiles. The new Platinum series has really unique features as the DIMMs all come with LED lighting, it is Corsair Link compatible for real-time activity and temperature monitoring and comes with aluminum heatspreaders and an all metal top bar giving it that rigid and sturdy feel. Corsair backs their DIMMs up by a limited lifetime warranty as well.

Now we just received a quad channel kit - or dual-dual-channel ;) rated PC3-17066 (2133MHz) at CAS9. A little tweakable and overclockable, but most of all this has to be the coolest looking memory kit anno Summer 2012.

So while you'd almost have forgotten that with the many product out Corsair is still a memory company we'll check out a 16GB low voltage DDR3 kit (4 x 4GB) that can be set at 2133 MHz just with the flick of an XMP switch in the BIOS.

The end results will be very interesting as we'll simply take this memory seated on a Core i7 3860K / X79 chipset setup and evaluate it to the baseline performance of other chipsets/processors and their respective reference baseline performance. Mind you that the quad DIMM kit tested today can be used for dual-channel configurations in combo with Z68 or P67 and Z77 etc as well.

Have a peek first...

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core Headset review
Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.
