so today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of a memory kit and I saw this and I
just had to unbox it cuz it's so like shiny and cool looking i' I've never
seen Corsair's packaging that looks like this so they've completely redesigned
the packaging for the Dominator GTS it is now like three times well not three
times it's a little bit taller and then they've also worked in like a bubble in
the clam shell for their Dominator airflow fan which is a special edition
Dominator GT T1 cuz you can see that the stickers are red that makes it go faster
and the red on the modules also makes them go faster so there you go now
through the back of the box you can now see the serial numbers for all of the
RAM modules that's a a change they've made lately and I'm I'm not sure exactly
why but it doesn't really matter so you can see there are three sticks in there
they talk a little bit about the Dominator GT family it represents the
ultimate and performance technology uh their Dominator GTS actually weren't
even available at res sellers to start with and they are hand tested okay let's
here we go the optional airflow fan not really optional when it's included right
in the Box But it includes 2 60 mm fans to provide impinging air flow to the
memory subsystem that sounds Hightech anyway
all right let's get this thing open here we go I'm going
to unbox
it okay well how don't we do the fan first I think I've had a look at the
Dominator airflow fan before but for for the benefit of anyone who hasn't already
seen my unboxing of the Dominator airflow I might as well just uh unbox it
on account of this is a special edition red one anyhow all right here we go if I
could get it out of the bubble wrap there we go okay so on the bottom we
find there two fan Clips which I'm not a huge fan of having to attach these
yourself get it a fan um but you take
these these thumb screws and then you
position yeah it's really awkward you position these under here and then you
actually screw the thumb screws in from the top to attach the two clamps and
then you put the clamps over your over your memory slots and it kind of looks
like that from the top down I mean they've got a really nice finish on this
thing nice brushed aluminum finish to the top plate the fans are they're
reasonably quiet they're better than the old Dominator uh airflow module but uh
they're still not the quietest thing in the world although you can turn them
down and they use a reasonably good quality sleeving on the fan sleeve here
it's not the best I've seen but it's a lot better than what you tend to see on
on a typical cheap fan all right they've
blacked out the uh the stickers on the bottom here so that you can't see what
brand the fans are but it doesn't really matter all right there we go that was
the airflow module now let's bring out the actual oh I get it wow I'm stupid
I've seen this pack before all they did is they took this pack and a fan and
they put it together ah very clever course there touche all right so how do
I get this open oh I need a knife uhoh
trouble yep there we go I'll just use a pen cuz pens are always
handy always have a pen in an office
it's very difficult to go into an office and not have a pen anywhere in the
office because then people couldn't write things unless they use pencils and
I don't think I've used a pencil since elementary school it's been a very long
time um Intel core i7 extreme Edition
check marks so these are ready for the extreme Edition and if you're not buying
an extreme Edition processor I don't know where you get off spending so much
on your memory so that makes sense okay so here we go uh we've got Dominator
GT the module itself why don't we just take this out of the
box and then um so yeah unlike their
normal dominators the Dominator GTs have a special edition
red heat sink up on the top oh this is
interesting I've never seen this before I have to admit I have no idea what this
is for there's a little pin out on the
memory module maybe it says something about it on the
box absolutely nothing okay well here if
you can leave a comment saying either if you know what this is for or if you have
some idea what this is for it's actually on um it's on all three modules and um
yeah I don't know what that does okay so anyway you've got your standard 240 pin
DDR3 pin out along the bottom here you've got again your standard Dominator
heat spreader along the side and like I mentioned before it's a special edition
Red Top I believe Corsair does three colors black red and blue depending on
which kit you're buying and then on the side you can see they've got a slightly
different sticker from the normal Dominator one with the GT and it is red
so that'll go really nicely with an EVGA classified or another uh bright red and
black accented motherboard so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the
Corsair Dominator GT triple Channel kit
turn that around
