Closer Look
The new Dominator modules from
Corsair are being shipped in its own cardboard box. Apart from that they have
been enclosed in blister packaging.
The Heatspeaders of the new Dominators ROG have a finish that's kept in a blend of red and balck, which - apparently - makes them perfrectly suitable for ROG themed builds. The heatspreaders
on these modules have been very nicely made, consisting of solid aluminum, a good layer of thermal padding and red illumination.
Taking the heatspeaders off Corsairs Dominator series is not something we would recommend doing at home due to strong adhesive that requires
a very careful approach. Once the heatspreaders have been removed we see
that Corsair is putting B-Die chips from Samsung on these modules. These chips are pretty commong these days, especially with 4GB modules.
