Corsair Launches the Dominator Titanium DDR5 Memory

[Hxx]

Each SKU has a max batch of 500 and will be numbered. So they eventually become a collector's item

ya know why the max is 500? Cause that's the most they will sell given their value
but we enthusiasts call it "collector's items" ....

It's still a no go if you want to use a dual tower cooler.

Dominator memory has never been truly compatible with large air cooling anyway. Even if you had certain ways to make it fit, it was never an optimal solution.

I've always been a fan of Dominators, these G.Skill sticcs I've got haven't disappointed this time around, but my next kit will likely be one of these.

They are first edition memory kits. Each SKU has a max batch of 500 and will be numbered. So they eventually become a collector's item. This is premium ram for a premium price. It's as simple as that. Tight timings and higher frequencies. Then after the 500 of each sku are made/sold, the second edition memory kits come and from my understanding of the article, will be looser timings with lower frequencies. That is what you are paying for.

If you or anyone else thinks it's garbage, well thats on you.

Did they confirm this batch is limited run for collectors?

iCUE has gotten better

I might have to download a new version and install it again to see if it adds anything of value to me (fake surround headphones), I preferred the default sound, and the software was slow, clunky and actually made the PC feel slower just by being there and doing nothing at all.!!! I generally like Corsair products, iCue really lets them down as a brand IMHO. Apologies for going OT.

Then after the 500 of each sku are made/sold, the second edition memory kits come and from my understanding of the article, will be looser timings with lower frequencies. That is what you are paying for.

If Corsair mess this up (likely if they let the marketing department make the decisions), this could cost the company a lot of money, and a serious hit to their reputation, I hope they do this right.!

"If" Corsair do not make it clear that the "first edition" products are actually faster than what comes after, then they will have a lot of angry customers who read reviews of the "First edition" and a couple of months down the line they buy "second edition" products assuming as everyone would, that the "Second edition" fixed bugs or or something, but are the same performance, they will be angry, write terrible reviews and return their products for a refund and buy something else, and never touch a Corsair product again.! Be careful Corsair, be careful.

Whether you think of it as a collectors item or not. Its 500 per SKU. Numbered and all.

I understand it from a collector pov I collect PC hardware myself I just wouldn't buy anything Corsair to use.

A bit of conspiracy talk going on.

Firstly, you are buying the bin that is sold, not what it can OC to. That is true for all memory kits.

Secondly, nothing has changed. The XMP profiles for that specific bin is the same.

I will say that these did OC exceptionally well. Still though, if you have Hynix ICs DDR5-8000 is easy to hit with 1.5v

Did corsair provide any info on when they might be releasing higher frequency xmp kits? (7400-8000)
