Today's unboxing is not about the box because you can plainly see that there's no box. This is about what's inside the box. This is Corsair's allnew Dominator light bar showcase. So, inside this anti-static bag, I have four sticks of what is some of the most premium memory on the freaking block. So, the light bar kit comes with a few different colors, but ours is going to be showcasing the blue light bar. So, I'm going to move that so that I'm not showing it to the wrong camera here. So, you can see that there's a the the light inside the Dominator Platinum module is still white, but there's an actual uh blue window in the top of it that's going to give it some pretty sweet effects. So, remember guys, Dominator Platinums use a custom PCB, a custom heat spreader. They've got heat sink fins here on the top and then an aluminum uh bar that goes on the top, both for looks and for presumably some additional cooling, although I don't think that's going to make that much of a difference, but also just like awesome lookingness. You've also got full compatibility with Corsair Link with the little connector on the side of the module itself, which sort of drives home that custom PCB a aspect of this. Guys, to be clear, these are extremely expensive heat spreaders and only really make sense for premium modules. So, we're going to go ahead and we're going to take our existing sort of gaming memory, I guess you might call it.

Uh, so they're cast 10, so yeah, they're not super tight timings or anything by any stretch of the imagination, but that is some high-speed, high density memory going on. That means we are putting 32 gigs of some of the fastest RAM money can buy in this particular system here. It also happens to be some of the sexiest RAM money can buy. So, let's go ahead and power this bad boy up. So, I'm going to put my power cable back in. Every so often, the uh the motherboard will just power up if you insert a memory module. So, that's why I unplug the power supply. Or actually, unplugging it is bad. You should leave it plugged in so that you can still ground off of it, but you should turn the switch so that the system won't randomly power on. All right, so here we go. We'll do a daytime shot first. Going to power this up. I love it. This goes really well with the P9X79 Deluxe motherboard that we've got in this particular rig. This is an older Corsair H100, not an H100i. I apologize for that, but it still looks pretty boss. How's that? How's that look, Diesel? Should we do the night shot now? Yeah, I'm getting the I'm getting the so so hand. So, let's do our night shot here. Ready, guys? Let's try turning the just those off first and see how it looks. Go. How's that look? I'm getting the thumbs up. How about in complete darkness? How's it look now? Yeah, I'm I'm definitely getting the thumbs up over there now. So, that is what Dominator light bars will look like in your system. I'm going to give you some different angles here, guys. So, you can still see the whiteness as kind of an underglow effect, but the tops of the modules themselves. I'm going to lean a little bit more so you can see the very tops of the modules have a very unique Whoops. Oh, hold on. Let's power it back on. I think Oh, shoot. I think I put some There we put some pressure on the connector there. All right. So, the tops of the modules themselves have that blue glow going on, which looks very, very cool. So, I'm going to go ahead and go all the way down to this angle. So, you can see it from here. You got that, diesel? All right. So, there you go, guys.
