Shipped in an all black box, we have a clean and crisp design to the octagonal box to suite the modules themselves inside. A slim window at the top gives a glance to the kit that is inside.

Turning the box over, we get a little bit of information on the Dominator Platinum’s key features, including an ‘iconic’ heatspreader design with customisable lightbar, support for Corsair’s Link technology to monitor the kit’s performance and DHX cooling technology for better heat dissipation.

Something a little different to what we normally see, the packaging is split into two halves that open out to reveal a window onto each of the modules.

Taking the modules out of the box, the first thing that is apparent is how weighty they are. The solid heatspreaders that cover the majority of each module are topped off with a unique heatsink that cools the top of the PCB directly to achieve an all round better cooling efficiency.

As seen through the small windows in the packaging, each module has sticker showing key information including, model number, capacity, speed timings and operating voltage.

Along the top of the heatspreaders, we find the word Dominator etched into the metal frame, a slight touch that finishes each module off.

Another feature that is different on the Platinum kit as we saw on the back of the box, is the customisable light bar which runs up and along the top of the kit giving a soft glow in white. This can be changed by fitting different colour bars which are available separately.

Talking about the Link technology, each module has a five pin Link connector to enable connection to a Link control module (available separately) Once connected up, the Link control panel allows for monitoring of each modules performance along with customisation of the light bars.
