With DDR5-6600 CL32, the kit from today’s review is not only the fastest RAM kit in Corsair’s portfolio but even market-wide in Europe, at least at this point. The exterior is the familiar Dominator Platinum RGB design, which we had even looked at 2 times before in tests. Accordingly, we will focus especially on the inner values of the review sample today, not least on the extremely pre-selected DDR5 SK Hynix 16 Gbit M-Die memory chips (5H16M).
At 6600 “MHz” with CL timing of 32, the SKU from today’s review is pretty much the fastest and tightest DDR5 kit money can currently buy. These are then also only available in the black Domintator Platinum RGB design with the product number CMT32GX5M2X6600C32. If you like the design of the modules, but don’t care so much about the specs, Corsair also offers several more reasonable variants – it’s best to simply click through the website or read our previous reviews. 😉
Packaging and design
As mentioned earlier, this is the third time we have reviewed the Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 modules today, and even though the specifications and performance potential differ greatly, the packaging and design are almost old hat for us. Accordingly, only a shortened version follows here.
The outer box in octagon design shows the modules and carries stickers for the speed of “6600 MHz” in the Intel XMP 3.0 profile. The specifications on the modules can already be seen through a cutout on the back. The product number of this SKU is CMT32GX5M2X6600C32 and the timings of 32-39-39-76 at 1.40 V and DDR5-6600 can already be inferred from the last characters. Thus, this kit is the tightest and theoretically best performing DDR5 kit available at the time of this test.
Corsair’s Dominator Platinum RGB cooler design should be familiar, consisting of black anodized aluminum parts and an overall very tall construction as a design homage to Dominator modules from previous RAM generations.
As usual, the single-sided assembly of the modules can be seen from below, which fits 16 Gbit memory ICs with 16 GB capacity per module. From the side, the ICs on one side and the foam spacer on the other can be seen even better. Also nice to see here is how the radiator halves are held tightly together by the brackets with their 4 screws each. Viewed from above, the 10 transparent luminous dots per module and the negative printed Dominator lettering in the center stand out from the otherwise completely black design.
The design exudes superiority and presence and matches the name of the modules, with or without active lighting, and integrates well with that of most motherboards. However, the installation space is also dominated, which could cause problems for some coolers, but more on that in a moment.
