quality so you know you could potentially buy like you know a Vengeance kit and you're still getting Corsair quality you're still getting a lifetime warranty so you got that going for you so for me what it comes down to with their performance stuff is it's all about sex appeal Dominator platinums are so sexy this is like the heaviest RAM I've encountered in a very long time and it is also just it looks so good so here hold on don't look at it yet don't look at it okay okay iconic heat spreader design with customizable light bar upgrade kits available at Corsair.com okay cool stuff so you can actually make it so it like matches and integrates in your system even better okay supports Corsair Link Technology which means you can monitor your memory performance and that's cool too dual path dhx cooling technology for optimize heat dissipation this we've had for a long time since the uh dominators and their uh their other dhx models as well so now let's get into the memory itself so this particular kit there's nothing that special about the spec this is an 1866 kit it's uh 2x 8 gig it's cl9 1.5 volts so yeah it's a good memory kit but it's not like you know they're they're crazy Dominator Platinum kit that was clocked at what what was it 2.8 GHz or something stupid like that you know I'm going to go look it up SEC yeah 3 GHz so this is not that kit this is just sort of your your mainstream SL performan see like still a very good skew memory but like look oh look at it when you put it in a motherboard though okay so you get like your Republic of Gamers board from ASUS and you got like that Dominator thing going on on the top so the customizable light bar is the one that if you guys know anything about me you know I love case lighting and uh all you have to do to change out the light bar so you can actually see these ones are white so they have like a um a frosted strip so that it dissipates the light in a pretty pretty cool way you've also got heat sinks for heat

good I'm sure Slick's camera angles are almost as good as mine you know we have to power these on we have to see the lights so we're in the dark ready to power the oh so sexy okay I'll take it I'm taking the camera from slick he sucks at it anyway so that's what they look like when they're powered on in the dark so Beast love it you even get like an like an underglow effect around the uh the
