Review on πŸ’¨ Corsair Dominator Platinum Airflow RGB LED Memory Fan Cooling: Enhance Your System's Performance and Style with CMDAF2 by Dave Tapia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great and works great

I'm using 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM (BDIE) with high overclocking. Running at 3600MHz 16-16-16-34, TREFI 155ns and all secondary/tertiary timings on extreme/hard settings and at 1.44V. Games went up to 50 degrees. As a result, I would experience a crash related to memory stability. After installing this and running the Karhu RAM test for 10 hours, I was finally stable, peaking in RAM temperatures in the mid 30's. I think he looks pretty good too. Some reviewers claim it has a loose fit and a large gap between the fan and RAM sticks, and doesn't provide enough cooling. These reviewers obviously installed this cooler incorrectly, because when you properly attach it to the memory bracket clips, it snaps firmly into place and sits very tightly on the RAM sticks. This gives a much-needed 10c delta compared to inactive cooling. If you use heavily overclocked and high voltage BDIE RAM but don't want water trapping your RAM, this product is a good buy.
