Corsair, which is no stranger to computer memory, actually computer memory is where Corsair started. Today we are going to be looking at one of Corsair’s newest DDR5 kits, specifically the Dominator Platinum rated at 7200MHz at a CAS latency timing of CL34. In the PC memory market, much like other markets, speed is king and whoever can get there quicker, gets the performance crown. While this is not the fastest 32GB DDR5 kit out there, having a CAS Latency of 34 certainly helps. Thanks much to our friends at Corsair for providing the review unit. Let’s get to it.  

 

Looking at the PCB itself, there are eight DDR5 memory modules with their power management integrated circuit in the very center, which is also cooled via the aluminum heat spreader. Also a closer look at the RGB LEDs and the plastic light diffuser with 12 addressable Capellix LED elements spaced out. The memory chips themselves are oriented in a single rank configuration, 8 chips in total having 2GB each, making 16GB per stick. Looking closer at the DDR5 memory modules themselves, you can see they are from SK Hynix, one of the three big memory producers in the world. Looking even closer to the ICs, SK Hynix H5CG48AGBD X018 234A, which looks to be a 16-bit A die, one of the best, if not the best for overclocking.

My DDR5 test system currently has a Intel Core i5 12600K on a Aorus Z690 Pro motherboard, running the latest BIOS version F21. Cooling the 16 threaded Alder Lake CPU, is be quiets' Pure Loop 280mm with two 140mm Silent Wings 4 Pro fans. Windows 11 build 22621 is installed on the Corsair MP600 XT Pro 2TB NVME M.2 SSD, review here. Let’s install them and take a full look via Aida64 and Thaiphoon Burner.

Thanks Ryan! Build em up for those vets! Indeed.

For Sure! Just so peeps know EHW is a sponsor for @Shellback_Tech , to which Travis (CEO) and myself (CTO), build custom gaming computers with the help from various vendors. So while some of the hardware I keep for testing, some gets donated to use in this awesome way! 

Anyways, congrats again @Avacado!

Congrats @Avacado! Looking forward to working with you! Can't wait for the next gen of CPUs and GPUs! It's gonna be pretty exciting!

This is absolutely a company I could get behind as well.  Glad to have the forum sponsoring these guys and their endeavor.  I'd say welcome, but I have a feeling these guys aren't strangers...... 

LOL. Definitely not a stranger....*looks over at badge* 

Also if anyone has questions, I am also Shellback Tech's CTO, so feel free to fire away.  Also if anyone is interested, Travis and myself have built PCs to raffle off in support of Shellback Tech. Please click the link below to see/buy entries.  Raffle ends on Veteran's Day, Nov 11th 2021.
