Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4-32000) C19 1.35V Desktop Memory - White

I have a Ryzen 7 5800x (Alienware Aurora Desktop) I purchased my desktop with one 16 gig stick of ram. I was definitely needing to upgrade it... unfortunately Dell didn't have the exact same stick in stock.. They were trying to sell me another one saying it is compatible with the one I have..... Never, ever, will I buy a Dell / Alienware again.... (a huge list of issues that I am not going to get into). The XMP profile for the memory sticks work perfect. I am getting the 3466 that is rated for them. I will say this... Ryzen Master is an awesome utility for anyone wanting to fine tune their computer. Many, many, many, many settings to adjust. I am happy with my purchase... (a bit on the expensive side... but stupid motherboard is rated highest ram at 3466mhz...... dell... garbage.... ) If it was rated for 3600mhz it would have been much cheaper. Just not many options for this rating. I could do without the led lighting. The heatsinks are nice and thick, sturdy, actually don't feel like they are gonna break installing them or unmounting them from the motherboard. The colors can be changed, patterns, breathing led effects, ect. I got the Samsung chips in all 4 sticks.

I use my PC mainly for daily home office type of activities. I do have a couple of games that I toy with every now and then, but gaming is not my main activity. The memory installed without issue and the RGB lights lit up with a very nice waterfall type of light activity. I had planned to get the Corsair iCue software to control the lights but have not done that yet. When I wanted to use the XMP profile, I had to put in the numbers by hand - as just turning on XMP crashed my system - using the numbers on the memory and not the XMP listing. That worked and I plan to tighten the numbers up a little more. I did see a 4 degree rise in temperature but think that is because I had to up the voltage to the needed 1.35V from my previous usual of 1.20V. So instead of running at 34 degrees Celsius, I'm running about 37-38 degrees C. I'm not done tinkering yet but the memory is a great addition to my PC. And I love the night show. The light are quite bright so I hope you don't sleep in the same room as your computer!

When it comes to RAM, I usually have very little enthusiasm. In the age of DDR4 when even the base speed of 2133 MHz is more than enough for 95% of applications and games and spending hours and hours tweaking speeds and timings never yields more than a 1% performance improvement, I've typically spent very little effort when shopping for it. I typically pick the best middle ground frequency for the price (usually 3000-3200MHz). I was even less enthused when "RGB RAM" started becoming a thing, especially with those first Vengeance sticks that Corsair released with the rainbow fin on top. I laughed at people who bought them, but upon building a custom loop this past week and seeing a bland/dark area where my existing DIMMS had lain, I decided to hypocritically order these newer Platinum's, which admittedly have a much more attractive RGB layout than the original Vengeance sticks did. I have not been disappointed. From the moment they first powered up, they completely tied all of the bling in my system together. With the individual LED's instead of the previously blended ones, they really maintain the digital/pixel design language you prefer to keep in your system with all of the other square/blocky components on your motherboard. There's some really great effects out of the box as well, completely customizable within iCUE as you'd expect. I have been getting a notable performance improvement in a few intensive games that I have not yet been able to correlate with anything else other than the RAM speed increase (I was at 3000 MHz before), so I have to recommend the upgrade if you're on slower DDR4 RAM. The XMP profile for 3466 MHz worked exactly as one would expect out of the box. Haven't tried overclocking yet and probably won't.

Undoubtedly expensive when compared to other top tier brands, but for me, the aesthetics sell it, just so clean and simple, and the RGB isn’t nearly as obnoxious as other brands. Being Corsair Dominator line, the performance is also guaranteed to impress. My 3466Mhz kit came with the “legendary” Samsung B-die chips, and will happily run at 3600 CL16, and can likely go faster, or lower with tighter timings. Update: after some more tweaking, these are running at 3600 14-14-14-36-2t, just amazing memory!

Beautiful lighting, highish speed ram great for a ryzen build. Your getting a great product for the a slight up in price. Take that with a grain of salt.

You get what you pay for. Simply put, this memory kit is Outstanding. I have it overclocked using the XMP feature and it works great. The memory is faster than I could have hoped for and the heat stays normal using the included fan. Best thing of all, it's stable without problems. My opinion is why test the integrity of functionality unless you really know what you are doing. I have the memory paired with ASUS MAXIMUS IX FORMULA LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 Z270 ATX Motherboard and the Intel 7th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processor i7-7700K (BX80677I77700K) . I have one heck of a "Seriously Smokin" gaming computer.

Great value for the money. I have an x570 Gigabyte MB and run this at 3600, which is somewhat ideal, though the timings are a bit loose. Anyway that is something that can be worked on. I have single rank B-Die Samsung, so I have a project I can work on. Hopefully prices will continue to drop as the holidays approach. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this the best deal I could find on Amazon for about $200.00 for Dominator Platinum. Great stuff for the new Ryzen motherboards. Corsair Vengeance LPX is a little cheaper for 3600, but I'm not sure what your would be getting chip wise. Hope this helps.

Der Ram sieht einfach nur unfassbar gut aus und die Steuerung der Lichteffekte über Icue ist sehr umfangreich. Die Riegel sind sehr wertig und die angegeben Latenzen werden erreicht. Ich habe dieses gute Stück nun 4 mal verbaut und bin begeistert. Würde die Ram Riegel jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Très bon produit : les barrettes DDR4 Corsair Dominator 2*16Go RAM (CL16) installées ; reboot du PC et l'UEFI détecte et passe automatiquement sur le profil XMP le plus élevé supporté par les barrettes/carte mère. Testé sur une carte de 2016: Z170-HD3-CF (Skylake Core I7 - 6700K) Je constate la différence flagrante avec les anciennes Barrettes Vengeance LPX DDR4 2*8 Go - 2800Mhz installées auparavant. J'ai pu overclocker mon 6700K Core I7 a 4,2Ghz (plantage a 4,3). ça fonce ! C'est incroyable.. Le plus : L’éclairage des LED , très joli et contrôlable avec le logiciel iCUE CORSAIR. Le Moins: Rien a déclarer.

I got this stupidly cheap. Top of the line Corsair RAM. Brilliant performance and faultless. Never had one error. Rock solid stability

Overall I am very happy with this purchase and I enjoy using this. Why happy with the purchase: It works with my motherboard I bought in 2016, more like I am relieved it works. When I first installed it, my computer refuse to boot and entered a boot loop. I tried changing back to my older pair of ram and it still didn't work. So I had to hard reset the bios by removing the battery. I found out that it is because I used the XMP profile previously so it somehow tries to applies on this set of ram. Lesson learnt: Disable XMP profile before replacing rams. Why enjoy using this: It is because of the SDK and software. That's it. RGB effects are cool and all but it is still kind of plain and the audio visualizer is locked behind a Corsair audio product requirement. So I took the chance to program my own Rainbow Wave plus audio beats combo. Best of all the sample compiles with not much issue and easy to learn. It is much better than the RGB Fusion sdk. Note: Do not put CorsairGetLedPositionsByDeviceIndex in a loop thread or the memory usage will keep increasing. The iCUE dashboard also tracks the temperatures of most of the PC components including the graphics card. You have to enable the hard drive widget in the dashboard settings.

One of best RGB ram I ever had 😅
