Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB vs Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3200 (4 x 8GB)

When it comes to performance testing of these superfast DDR4 modules, I have to say it feels a bit unnecessary as when it comes to real-world impact, ...

See how this frame still holds up Kind of going on for a little bit and if we need to make another video and showing that it's not a good RAM kit You ...

TLDR; 50% of my 4 sticks work. My recommendation would be to spend a little more and find a different vendor if you need high clock high density sticks and avoid the 6+ hour headache hardware revision I just dealt with. Got these because they were on QVL., had a BSOD (GSOD now I guess?) with memory error reference within the first few hours so started digging a bit more

Runs great at 3333mhz Asus Crosshair VII Hero (x470 chipset) with a Ryzen 2700x and the April 2018 firmware. When updated to firmware 804 from late July 2018, machine will crash under heavy usage. Reverted to 0601 and the machine is again rock stable. Update 1 and (I thought) problem solved! As it turns out bios revisions beyond 0601 does some very screwy things with the timings for this ram

With my current cooling configuration my RAM temps never exceed 60°C during gaming, infact they hardly break a sweat running at 56- 57°C under load (keep in mind this is with all 4 RAM slots filled on my mobo). I'm a sucker for RGB and I'm a sucker for performance, this set of 4x8 sticks gave my system a much needed boost in performance as I no longer have stuttering/framerate issues while streaming games to twitch using shadowplay or OBS. In addition to that, while most games don't typically rely heavily on CPU or RAM speed, I have seen a nice boost of up to 20 frames in games like Battlefield 5 which does benifit from faster ram speeds. I was originally getting 40-50 fps on high/ultra settings with the 2400 MHz set I had, now I'm getting 60-70 fps (high/ultra) without CPU or GPU OCs

Now that is at 3600 megahertz of speed and that is the sweet spot of this memory right now. This memory is also available at slower speeds which is th...

Do I keep the LED RAM, or do I give the radiator full roof access? If this is just the regular standard for non-cheapo RAM, then it's my stupidness for not getting a bigger case. Or figuring out how to do my own water cooling.

Runs reasonably cool, although I haven't stress tested it yet. good looking heat sink/spreaders. Decent color spectrum. Cons: The iCUE software is way too much just to set the colors for this--wish I could control it through the Gigabyte control software
