We love this packaging. Corsair are aiming to make the customer feel as if they have bought a high end, luxurious product and they have succeeded.
The box splits into two separate sections, with 2x4GB sticks on either side, protected inside a plastic container.
This is a weighty kit of memory, as each stick is built inside a heavy duty metal heatspreader. If you watched the video on the previous page you will have seen that this is not an ordinary heatspreader either. Corsair say that this memory is screened for performance and stability. The sticks use patented DHX (Dual-path Heat eXhange) cooling technology.
An overview of the Dominator Platinum memory. As the cut through diagram highlights, the PCB has a connection point for the Corsair Link Interface, to monitor the IC temperature and activity. This can be used in conjunction with the incredible AX1200i Power Supply which we reviewed in August. If you missed the review, you can click here for a read.
The beautifully designed heatspreaders – up close. One side has the Dominator Platinum name and the speed rating along the side while the other has a sticker with detailed timing specifications.
Above, the Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB kit installed in a high end Z77 system build, based around the ASUS Maximus V Formula motherboard. An ideal partner for the 2,666mhz memory.
