Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB 2666C10 DDR3 Memory Kit Review

The brand new Corsair Platinum series continue on the legacy of the Corsair high end series. Instead of reusing the typical Dominator GTX red and black look, Corsair decided it was about time for a major esthetical overhaul, and boy these sticks sport a killer look. The black heatspreader design in combination with a LED illuminated aluminium chrome top bar make these new Platinums truely stand out from the crowd. The box design is also a big step forward from the typical blister or cardboard versions Corsair previously tended to use

The 4 x 4Gb Dimms are well protected by it's flashy box. Each Dimm inside a small blister package to avoid scratches, dust collection and probably the most important: drooling fluids from the PC shoppers.

It has to be noted that these Platinums are NOT intended to be the new high end enthusiast series from Corsair; there's more to come soon at that level, seeing the daylight in probably a new GTX range (why oh why did we have to wait soo long ?). The Platinum series are designed to be the perfect harmony between looks, bling bling, performance and reliability.
