The 128GB (8 x 16GB) DDR4 memory kits are designed for the latest Intel X99 series motherboards and support XMP 2.0 for the ultimate compatibility, reliability, and performance. The first available kits are rated at speeds of 2666MHz and 2400MHz and higher speeds will be announced soon. Like all Corsair memory, the new kits are backed by a lifetime warranty.



Dominator Platinum Series 128GB DDR4 Memory
The most advanced memory kits available, the Dominator Platinum series DDR4 modules feature a striking industrial design for good looks, patented DHX technology for cooler operation, and user-swappable colored "light pipes" for customizable LED lighting. Dominator Platinum memory is built with hand-screened ICs, undergoes rigorous performance testing, and incorporates patented DHX cooling technology for reliable performance in demanding environments.

Vengeance LPX Series 128GB DDR4 Memory
Vengeance LPX memory is designed for high-performance overclocking with aluminum heatspreaders for faster heat dissipation and eight-layer PCB for superior overclocking headroom. Each IC is individually screened for performance potential.

Pricing and Lifetime Warranty
Corsair Dominator Platinum and Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory kits are available from Corsair and Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. All Corsair memory is backed with a limited lifetime warranty and Corsair customer service and technical support.

I honestly don't see the point of this when you can buy 128GB of ECC RDIMMs for like 700 usd cheaper, also when you work with this much data ECC is a must imo.

If you take 2 of those packages and sell them, you could be the 1st one to offer 256GB Kit.
Then take 4 and be the 1st on to offer 512GB Kit,
and then again add eggs and bacon and eat something because you might be hungry after that many world records.
Add some bacon and then you'll be the first one to offer bacon with DDR4 kits...

I hope you understand it's a 128GB kit not run of the mill 32GB kit. It is going to be used by multimedia professionals for other content creation purposes.

Just imagine running your OS and a heavy CAD program from RAMDisk

Because there is a market for 16 DIMM non-ECC kits?

Is there a market for 128GB kits w/o ECC? heck is there even for 64GB non-ECC kits?
Is there a professional that buys that much ram and goes for non-ECC memory?

^good point.

I built a "workstation" recently, I was strongly advised to go with ECC memory for capacities over 32/64GB.

It needs a Xeon CPU to work though.

Yeah I know, but I mean is funny, when the same DDR3 kits are HALF the price ;)

This pricing is ridiculous but on a side note I don't recall seeing any unbuffered non ECC ddr3 128GB kits, where did you see em?

@Prima.Vera : Same was true when Ddr3 first came out and Ddr2 modules were available for a third of price. In general there is nominal difference in price of 16GB(8*2) Ddr3 2133 and 16GB(8*2) Ddr4 2133 considering most gamers will be using this config I would consider upgrade to X99 platform with 5820K an easy suggestion over 4790K and Z97.

@radrok: check this press release from couple of months back. you can get a 128GB DDR3 ram with 8 of these modules.

Xeon CPUs can go as low as 300$ for a six core... but spending 2000$ only on ram means that your budget for your CPU is NOT limited nowhere near the 3 figure values.
ECC is a MUST on ALL platforms, you can avoid many nasty situations, along with security problems with that type of memory... but that's non of my business.
(Corsair applies overclocking labels on those kits, so they have already decided who's the consumer)

I don't see the point in this either,...

I wouldn't even spend that much on an entire system let alone just the RAM and yes I have a system that will support DDR4,...

What is the point of the more expensive kits, if they are the same speed with higher latency?
EDIT: NVM, the most expensive is faster. the 2400 dominators are still useless though.

I would bet money that the 2400 Dominators are the exact same sticks with the Dominator Platinum cooler on them for $225 more.

I know that everyone is saying these are dumb but almost every one of you would buy a kit of these if you were rich enough and $2000 for RAM was nothing. Corsair isn't trying to sell these to the normal people on a normal budget. They're looking to sell these to the 1% that will plonk down $1000 for an Extreme Edition every time a new chipset comes out and a few grand for 3-4 of whatever the fastest GPU is and won't think twice about $2000 for 128GB of RAM.
