OCC has published a review on the Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz 16GB



Over the years Corsair's Dominator lineup has been synonymous with the upper crust of performance memory modules. Corsair makes DDR3 memory modules that will fit just about any need from the basic to the extreme with many products in between. The Dominator lineup is a proven commodity with a strong performance feature set from the distinctive fin style to the Dual Path DHX cooling used to keep the memory running cool when pushed. Corsair has gone one step further with the Platinum lineup with the addition of a light bar to allow the end user who really wants to customize every aspect of their build from the motherboard to the cooling solution and even the look of the memory. To that end the light bar can be customized with different colors to meet the requirements of that full-on custom build.

Corsair has put together Dominator Platinum kits that range from 8GB to 64GB with speeds of 1866Mhz to an impressive 2666Mhz in both dual and quad channel configurations. The set of modules we have received from Corsair is part number CMD16GX3M4B2133C9, a 16GB dual channel kit optimized for use on the latest Intel Z77 chipset based motherboards. This kit features 4 x 4GB modules rated for use at 2133Mhz running timings of 9-11-10-30 using just 1.5v. Pricing as you might guess is on the high end of the scale for 16GB of DDR3 memory, but this set comes in a little less expensive than the standard Dominator line at $214 at online etailers. The pricing starts to make sense when you factor in the lifetime warranty, big speeds, tight timings at low voltages, impressive, rugged industrial looks, and Dual Path DHX cooling — not to mention the fact that these modules feature hand selected and binned memory IC's. Lets see how this 2133Mhz kit of Corsair's finest handles the competition all while looking good.
