Product Description

From the Manufacturer


The latest generation of the performance legend.



This kit includes two 8GB 1600MHz DOMINATOR Platinum modules.

Corsair DOMINATOR Platinum builds on the legacy of the world's most awarded high-performance memory, adding a striking new industrial design and LED lighting effects. Like all DOMINATOR memory modules, they are built using only select memory ICs, highly-screened for performance and stability, and feature our patented DHX (Dual-path Heat eXchange) cooling technology, so you can push them to the limit.

Fanatical screening for phenomenal performance.

DOMINATOR Platinum memory modules are assembled using a “best of the best” IC screening process. Individual ICs are hand-screened to our highest performance threshold, and then the assembled modules undergo more rounds of rigorous screening and stability testing. The result is reliable performance under extreme pressure.



The new heatspreader design incorporates dual-channel DHX cooling to efficiently pull heat away from the PCB.

Cooler temperatures for better overclocking headroom.

Excess heat limits overclocking potential, reduces performance, and can even lead to shorter component life. Our patented dual-channel DHX cooling system pulls heat away from the modules and allows DOMINATOR Platinum to run at cooler temperatures than lesser memory kits.

This advanced cooling technology, combined with our relentless screening, delivers phenomenal overclocking potential.

Customize your look.

The integrated light bar provides a subtle downwash lighting effect that gives your system an impressive look but subtle look. Additional light bars (available separately, beginning September 2012) allow you to match your system's color scheme.

Corsair Link compatible.

Add an Airflow Pro (available separately), and connect with Corsair Link system monitoring and control solutions for real-time activity and temperature monitoring.

Designed for Enthusiasts. Backed by Corsair.

World-famous reliability and performance

There's a reason why world-champion overclockers, extreme gaming enthusiasts and high-end system builders all trust Corsair for high-performance memory that they can install with confidence and pride. Whether you're breaking your own records or you're simply building a dream gaming rig, you can count on Corsair memory.

Let's be honest here...
We all bought this RAM because it looks super awesome. The lighting is subtle, but tasteful. I moved from 16 GBs (4 x 4) of Corsair Vengeance RAM to this (2 x 8) for possible future expansion to 32 GBs. As I don't overclock, I haven't noticed a difference at all. But DAMN it looks good in my system. My machine is stable (again, I don't overclock) and the sticks run very cool to the touch. The timing was the same as the Vengeance sticks, so I can't see why I'd see a difference.I shared a picture here on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works, it looks nice
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015

I just overhauled my old computer rig and had a little left over in the budget so I went ahead and splurged a little on lighting. I did as much research as I could to make sure this RAM would properly read on the Mboard I had purchased, but so far this RAM only reads as 1333 on the MBoard for some reason. I'm sure there's a way to tweak it and fix it but I haven't attempted to yet. Honestly, the system is running so fast I haven't really been tempted to. From what I've researched, the difference between 1600 and 1333 is pretty unnoticeable.

I do plan to mess around with overclocking eventually but likely only to about 4.5Ghz. As of now I'm more than satisfied with the speed I'm running at, so it's not as tempting yet.

I also purchased the blue light bar kits that went with this so my lights are now blue. I like them but feel that I could have easily found a way to modify the light bars on my own. And even though they're simple to install, the plastic light bars are pretty flemsy and would be easy to break. Either way, the RAM looks nice, run cool, and seem to work well -- despite the speed issue.

This RAM is fast and reliable. That's all there is to it. The dominator line is overkill for an every day build, but for a gaming machine this is perfect. Fill your rig up with as much RAM as your system can address. As an added bonus each dimm has white LED lights.

1.0 out of 5 stars received 10700 instead of 12800
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
first off, for full disclosure, my return window expired, so shame on me.
- bought these earlier this year and stuck them in a corner for a new build.
- when i installed them, i noticed they didnt say pc 12800 anywhere. bios defaulted them to 667, i booted, ran speccy to confirm. yep, not what i paid for. these are pc3-10700, not 12800 as it states in product description.
- the part number matches whats in the item description [ CMD16GX3M2A1600C9 ] which is weird.
- the only way i got these up to 1600's was oc'ing them. they cause a bsod every once in a while bcz they wont run stable at that speed.

so one star for not getting what i paid for, but some of that blame is on me too for not checking what i bought when it arrived. id love for corsair or amazon to offer me an exchange opportunity. will update rating if they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Work great, but pricey.

I love Corsair products. I've always used Corsair Vengeance in my builds, but decided to go with the Dominator with my newest build. My case is a silver Corsair 600T and I have two GTX 780 reference cards. I went with the Dominator RAM mainly for the looks. The silver of the case, the silver accents on the 780 cards, and the silver light bar cover on the Dominator RAM all blend together very well.

Overclocked to 1800MHz with no issues. Been using these sticks for a month or so now, no issues at all. Due to the price, I would only recommend these to someone who is willing to shell out extra money for the looks. If you don't have a side window on your case don't even invest in these, just go with Vengeance memory.

The only think because i dont mark it with five stars is because in any place it says that the lights white/blue (personalization) dont came with the DIMMs. Otherwise i'll marked with a strong 5! Really good memory, outstanding performance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but quality issues
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016

I purchased this kit for a new build after verifying that it was on the recommended parts list for the motherboard I selected as per its manufacturer.

I am a little shocked and dismayed at the fact that one of the DIMMs in the kit was bad while the other functioned perfectly. I performed a lengthy memtest86+ test against both DIMMs separately while in each of the available slots on the board -- the bad one failed immediately upon the initiation of the test in any slot.

Amazon was terrific (and prompt!) about sending me a replacement kit, BUT the same problem occurred with the new batch: one good DIMM, one bad DIMM!! Between the two kits, I found a working pair that tested fine, but this isn't what I'd expect from Corsair memory. Perhaps I just timed my purchase with a weird production batch, but I caution you to do multiple extensive tests across all slots on your motherboard, on each DIMM separately and as a pair. You'll save yourself from endless BSOD and grief.

I'm giving this three stars since they are now working nicely, look fantastic, and allow me some overclocking potential, but I had to dock two stars for the initial quality control.

Arrived on time and in good order. The DDR3 1600Mhz sticks are great investments for any pre-Z9 chipset. They are of Corsair quality, look great, and respond well to mild-moderate OC tweaking. They're not the most responsive 1600's out there but the lifetime warranty through Corsair and reliability hold their own.

I received this memory in good condition in a timely fashion from the vendor. I had a few problems installing it but running MemCheck86 on it revealed no shortcomings with this product (the problem was due to a failing PSU). Following replacement of the PSU, operation of this new
memory was flawless even when X.M.P. was enabled to overclock it. I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it.

In fairness, it's RAM, it does the job it's supposed to perfectly and looks amazing doing it. If you're reading this, chances are you're considering it for the looks and have already decided you wanted some. If you still need your mind making up, it looks as good as you think it will do in your system.
