Corsair Dominator Platinum builds on the legacy of the world’s most awarded high-performance memory, adding a striking new industrial design and LED lighting effects. Like all Dominator memory modules, they are built using only select memory ICs, highly-screened for performance and stability, and feature our patented DHX (Dual-path Heat eXchange) cooling technology, so you can push them to the limit.
Dominator Platinum memory modules are assembled using a “best of the best” IC screening process. Individual ICs are hand-screened to our highest performance threshold, and then the assembled modules undergo more rounds of rigorous screening and stability testing. The result is reliable performance under extreme pressure.
Excess heat limits overclocking potential, reduces performance, and can even lead to shorter component life. Our patented dual-channel DHX cooling system pulls heat away from the modules and allows Dominator Platinum to run at cooler temperatures than lesser memory kits.
This advanced cooling technology, combined with our relentless screening, delivers phenomenal overclocking potential.
The integrated light bar provides a subtle downwash lighting effect that gives your system an impressive but subtle look. Additional light bars allow you to match your system’s color scheme.
Connect with Corsair Link system monitoring and control solutions for real-time activity and temperature monitoring.

A defective memory module(s) can cause various issues on your computer. These are just a few of the possible issues you may encounter. It is important to remember the issues below can also be caused by more than just defective memory.
How can we be sure that the memory is defective before starting the RMA exchange process? There are programs available that are designed to test the computer's memory. We recommend Memtest86+ to test your computer's memory. Please visit this link to download and install Memtest86+ for an ISO image or USB Drive: Link To make a bootable Floppy from with in Windows, First you would download the memtest utility to your HDD, then using www.winzip.com extract it to the same directory. Please then get a floppy and do a fresh full format on it, and if there are any bad sectors just throw it away and get a new one. Then click on the install.bat file in the directory where you downloaded and extracted the files and follow the on screen prompts. To make a Bootable CD from within windows you would download the ISO image that has a .zip extension. .tar would be for UNIX. Memtest.ISO Then use www.winzip.com to extract the ISO image to the same directory that you downloaded it to. Then using CD-R software you will burn the image to CD. Note: Do not copy the image; there is usually an option under file or burner to burn image. Note: If you have recently added any new memory into the computer, we suggest you temporarily remove it to make sure it is not the cause of your issue before testing with Memtest. Please make sure you back up all the data from the USB drive before Memtest86+ installation as it will require a format.
