Welcome to a ghetto unboxing. 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. Take
it out of this system and we are going to be upgrading to Corsair Dominator
Platinum. So, you can see that before I started, I touched the power supply.
That's to ground myself. And now, I'm not going to move my feet. It's important to uh do the necessary
precautions before installing memory like this. So, this Oh, right. The spec
on this here, Diesel, I'm going to get you to come in close again. So, these
are 16 gig kits. So, these are 2 by8s and then I'm populating them into a quad
channel board, which is technically not really recommended, but it should still
be fine. 2400 megahertz, so 2.4
gigahertz, 8 gig modules.
need a moment of silence to let that like sink in and then boom, head
explosion. 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. That is the Corsair Dominator
Platinums with light bars. It was sort
of an unboxing. Basically, beast memory for beast systems. Don't forget to
