These sticks are quiet pricey compared to the plethora of other DDR4 sticks on the market but your paying a premium for arguably one of the most aesthetically pleasing sticks of Ram that offer solid quality and reasonable performance in terms of frequency and timings.The sticks come very well packaged, with each module inside its own plastic housing within a foam inset, should help keep the safe and secure and no doubt adds to the whole experience.The sticks themselves are weighty and very well constructed with a black and silver finish that should work in most builds. The Top is embossed with Dominator DDR4 in a lighter finish while on the sticks themselves you get the silver corsair text on on side and some nomenclature on the rear.There is the underglow effect, but its subtle rather then in your face. You can of course get the replacement light bar headers that have two cutouts to provide a stronger effect.One thing to keep in mind is these sticks are very tall. I would therefore double check any cooling solution you may have, in particular large HSF coolers such as the Noctua NH-DH15 etc.Technical***********A bit of heads up, those on Haswell-E running the kit like 3000 Mhz, will find when enabling XMP, the CPU will set the strap to 125 mhz . Its the way Intel have done the ratio and running RAM on Haswell-E between 2400-3000 Mhz using XMP will often change to 125 Strap. You can manually play with the settings to use 100 mhz strap but its not easy running 3000 mhz on 100 strap. Personally using the 3000 mhz 15-17-17-35 kit, running the kit at 3200 mhz and setting 100 strap was easier as 3200mhz is set up to use 100 strap.In terms of overclocking, using the kit rated for 3000 mhz @ 15-17-17-35, I have no issues changing it to 3200 mhz @ 15-15-15-35, so could be worthwhile tweaking the settings to get a bit more performance out of them.Summery***********In all, while these are pricey sticks of ram, your honestly paying a premium for their looks. Performance is mid-high end and not quiet as good as some kits with tighter timings, but still very solid performance. In all a stunning looking kit that looks great through a case side window!

I just got a Aorus Gaming GA-AX370-Gaming 5 motherboard, with a Ryzen 1800x and was using old 2 sticks of Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2400C14 which I believe is on the Gigabyte QVL list, could I get it to work stable? , no hard locks reboot etc. Even with 2 sticks, 4 sticks was a massive no go.Annoyed as I didn't want to spend crazy money on ram since I had leftovers from my X99 system.I had a look over at Reddit, somebody had posted a list of all memory that was working with Ryzen, Although these were not on my QVL list i went for it anyway. 2 sticks 8 gigabytes in slot 1 and 3 and running on XPM 2 profile no problems at all 2933 speed well happy and no hard locks or reboots since. These are Samsung B die single sided.single rank.the only downside 1 the price and 2nd I won't be able to fit a second kit to give me 32gb as my Evo 212x is overhanging the 4th slot and these things are huge.*Update I have now purchased a 2nd kit giving me 32gb these work fine at 2933 and so far have had no problemsmy motherboard is the GA-AX370-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) (F8Bios)as for the overhanging issues I had with the 4th ram slot, I removed the fan on my heatsink and raised it up until I had clearance for the ram module, I now have about 2cm of fan popping up over the heatsink, this doesn't seem to have affected cooling.

This is not your regular DDR4 modules. You pay extra for a premium quality product inside and outside. This is something that you would buy if you are building a PC with a window in the case to show off your components. I used Dominators to build all white PC system.Dominator Platinum are the best modules that I've seen for modding because you can easily remove those silver brackets from the top, paint them with something like Plasti Dip (non-permanent solution) and put them back on to introduce some colour to your PC Build.This is Corsair's flagship DDR RAM so performance is also at top level. Although beware that if you'll choose a cheaper DDR4 with less Mhz you won't be missing out on performance in games (FPS is not greatly effected by this.1-2 FPS which is within a margin of error anyway). But if you are putting together a Gaming/Video Editing workstation then faster RAM is preferred.

After using this ram for over 3 months now, i am over the moon with it,For everyone wondering if its ryzen compatible, it is, i have this ram running at full 3000MHz on a Msi x370 sli plus with a ryzen 1700! Works flawlesslycomes well packaged and once you handle the product you can feel the premium quality and the high standards corsair lives up to . The ram comes with a full metal cover/heatsink which looks great and allows great over-clocking,Only problem is i dropped a dimm on my wooden table and left a dent in the table. Ram is fine. No damage what so ever, product is build like a tank!BUY THIS RAM !

Not been able to get this memory to fully work to the correct speed on the Asus Prime X370-Pro. Yes it is not in the supported list. Would have been nice to take full advantage of the speed of the memory and I currently assume that a resolution depends on inevitable BIOS updates for the Motherboard. System is stable at 2133 though it should be at 3200 and the vendor list given does confirm that overclocking and manual setup is available up to 3200 but I have yet to get a stable working configuration with the RAS CAS settings that reflect the memory.Will update later.The memory was delivered on time.

4 stars because corsair link doesn't show per dimm temps but per pair, I have a Corsair AIO watercooler. I bought 2 2X16Gb kits but the software shows only two temp readings.The biggest unforeseen issue with this type of memory is that you don't know if they fit your setup. On my X99 motherboard I can't install the dimms on the side with the motherboard external headers due to the AMD Fury X Watercooler assembly and the heatsinks being too tall hit the watercooler. This is happening in a Be quiet silent base 800 case.

I got this RAM for my Ryzen build: 1700x - C6H.This RAM runs at advertised speed (3200 Mhz) once you set the XMP profile in BIOS (which can't be easier).I have never had a crash or BSOD.This RAM looks very well built and of high quality. It has white leds which as far as I'm aware you can't turn off, but they aren't intrusive as the light is quite dimmed.I personally prefer the beautiful silver colour of the piece of quality metal that sits on top of the RAM stick than having (yet) more RGB lights. YMMV.

Stuck these bad boys in with an i5-7600k / z270k SLI Pro and defaulted them to 3000MHz (highest stock), was not displeased!No installing issues at all, managed a PerfTest9 score of 3083, average a nice 25°c idle and around 28°c on full load so paying that little extra for the fancy heatsinks is worth it.Haven't really overclocked my RAM before but I honestly see no reason to, a solid choice for any PC gamer looking to upgrade from DDR3

This was great and on top my computer does work with the 32 GB as well as my old 16 GB so i now have 48 GB of DDR4 ram which is a bit of an over kill but means i can run many servers as well as use my host for gaming at the same time. if i get a bit skint i may auction off 16 GB as i purchased the 16 at £140 and is currently selling at £240 :) or i may just create a second system and then will have 24 GB in each :)

super fast and the xmp profile 1 just worked and set the speed and timings to as advertised - no stability issues whatsoever.really well packaged and amazing build quality.one thing that is not advertised is that the modules appear to have these subtle white led's, but they don't seem to be controlled by the corsair software. not a good or bad thing, just for information.all in all an excellent product.

Pretty heavy for sticks of RAM but that's probably down to the build quality, which is excellent, no cheap plastic here.Runs at the advertised 3000MHz speed when enabling XMP in the Bios settings but had to bump up the RAM voltage a little to get the PC to boot, nothing major though. Paired with an i7 6700k @ OC 4.6GHz, the system is running nice and fast with no lag or anything. Very happy with this RAM.

Great Samsung B die memory. Easily tuned the sub timings to achieve fast CL14 timings. I have had a Ryzen 5 2600 and now have a 3600x and on my 2600 I could get CL14 3200 and also able to get CL14 3400 on my 3600x, or CL16 3600.Domt go anywhere else for memory you get a great capacity at a great price and it's very good for over clocking since it has quality memory and design and over kill heat sinks.

Well, glad this was chosen over Trident-Z's offerings. Solidly-built, robust DDR4 modules, perfect for a modern gaming system. Looks the part too - subtle white lighting helps to break the current RGB fad, and give a sleek look to a system. Miles better in terms of every aspect over older DDR3. Granted, this is a pricier set of DDR4, and whether it's justified it's up to you.

What can I say .. does the job.A word of warning .. the mobo and CPU cooler combo I was using meant that with this memory fitted the CPU heatsink didn't. The height of the heatsink on the memory meant I had to replace the CPU cooler with one that was cocked to one side to avoid overhanging the memory slots. (Dark Rock Pro for sale anybody)

This is a very premium ram and looks amazing. Would highly recommend purchasing the lightbar mod kit for this ram as it makes it look far more modern and in my opinion makes it one of the best looking ram. This kit can be purchased for £25 which allows for two ram sticks to be modded.
