A Closer Look

The Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB features a tall but uncluttered profile with clean lines and edges.


Each stick features a flawless semi-gloss white finish with gold accents. The top rails held to the sticks with gold screws are die cast zinc alloy, while the primary heat spreaders are aluminium for improved heat dissipation.


"Dominator Platinum RGB" is printed in gray on the front and back of each stick. The 4000 MHz XMP timings of 19-23-23-45 at 1.35 V are not ideal for AMD's new Ryzen 3000 or Threadripper 3 processors, but should prove fast on Intel systems.


"Dominator" features on the top of each stick. The LED diffuser is hidden behind a beautiful gold grill.


The Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB sticks are single-sided and use a 10-layer PCB with Samsung B-die chips.


The RGB LEDS are mounted on their own PCB ribbon that is affixed to the plastic diffuser.


I like to weigh a stick from each kit I get as the difference in mass can be pretty drastic between kits. Mass is not the best indicator of cooling efficiency because material can matter, and of course heat dissipation is reliant on surface area, not volume or mass. That said, it is still interesting to compare.

The Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB comes in at a hefty 99.36 g on my scale, which is on the high end. For height, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB comes in at 56.79 mm with my calipers, well above the average 45–50 mm range. The Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB is meant to be seen, but those with air coolers should check their clearance.
