Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB DDR4-3200MHz – Corsair Capellix Breaks Cover

The claims for Capellix are that LEDs are:
Up to 60 percent brighter
Up to 60 percent more efficient
Up to 40 percent lower power consumption
Up to 35 percent longer life.

Common sense says you cannot have all those features simultaneously and our understanding is that you can have much brighter LEDs without extra power draw or you can maintain brightness and reduce power draw/increase efficiency.

No matter how you look at it, we appear to be getting something new although it would be stretching a point to suggest you are getting something for nothing. Corsair has a history of charging a premium for their products and Dominator Platinum RGB follows that trend. We all know that prices of DDR4 have been high for the past few years but even so, the range of new kits from Corsair is eye opening.

The entry level for Dominator Platinum RGB is 16GB of DDR4-3000MHz at £149.99 for 16GB of DDR4-3000MHz, rising to £454.99 for 16GB of DDR4-4266MHz. Alternatively you can buy 64GB of DDR4-3600MHz at £804.99 or bust the bank with 128GB DDR4-3600MHz at £1434.99.

By that token this 32GB kit of 14-14-14-34 3200MHz RAM costs £499.99 and sits towards the lower end of the product stack. That may sound like an extraordinary statement for a £500 kit of dual channel DDR4 where the obvious comparison is a 32GB kit of 8Pack Team Group Xtreem RAM with the same timings and speeds that costs £389.99 so it seems you are effectively spending £110 for posh LED lighting that is controlled by Corsair's superb iCUE 3.1 software.
