I unboxed some Corsair Dominator RAM a little while back and I found a very
0:04
confusing connector on it I kind of went oh what the heck is this for and I
0:09
couldn't figure it out and now I know Corsair has released a parametric
0:13
display for dominator memory modules equipped with dhx Pro so you can see
0:19
here they've got a picture of this little module here with a dominator fan
0:23
underneath and then presumably some Dominator memory underneath that so you
0:27
can visually monitor up to six mod modules with LED based activity meters
0:33
easy at a glance LED displays relative
0:36
module temperatures creates an outrageously cool look to your system
0:42
and is compatible with Corsair Dominator me memory modules equipped with dhx Pro
0:47
requires the airflow or airflow 2 memory cooling module and presumably that
0:52
little connector that I couldn't figure out what the heck it was for okay so
0:57
let's have a look at what is included with the airflow Pro okay so there's a
1:02
bunch of Hardware I'm not going to take that out cuz it looks like I'll lose it but it's some screws and nuts and bolts
1:07
and presumably how it mounts to the thing inside this baggie we have little
1:13
cables that yes connect to that confusing little connector on the memory
1:17
modules themselves okay so we got a bunch of
1:21
those up to six at a time then we have a Molex to Floppy power connector cuz I
1:26
guess this thing is powered by a floppy connector
1:30
all right and then we have the airflow
1:33
Pro itself there it is so it's covered
1:37
in LEDs all along the back that's how you plug in your power as well as your
1:42
six memory modules and I have no idea what that one's
1:46
for okay and then there is where the LEDs shine through on the
1:53
top that's pretty much it I guess that's
1:56
all there is to say I wouldn't mind actually trying this
2:00
out because it looks like pretty boss actually have that on your memory with
2:05
like all the here let's see what the LEDs sort of look like there looks like
2:09
that that's cool so this is kind of the successor to uh cor Corsair's old XMS
2:16
Pro Series memory that actually had the LEDs built into the top so this is your
2:21
activity and usage LEDs and now it's built into like a now like a common
2:26
interface that sits on top of all of your modules so that's pretty sweet
2:29
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair air series airflow Pro
2:35
yet another advantage to buying Corsair Dominator memory you can buy this
2:39
accessory for it and it would look sweet
