Now that we have benchmarked the Corsair Dominator Titanium memory, taken a quick look at the iCUE software, and done a bit of overclocking as well, there is a fair amount to go over. We will start off this section with what Corsair could improve upon to make a better product, and end the review with all the information needed to make an informed decision about whether this product is right for you.

One thing to note before we get further into this conclusion is that, while this memory is marketed exclusively for AMD, it will in fact work on any Intel system that supports the new EXPO memory profile. However, our main focus for this review is solely on AMD and the benefits gained from low-latency system memory.

Our noted complaints for this memory kit are relatively small, with most of them having to do with AMD itself and the gamble that not all CPUs will be able to run this in its optimal form. The details pertaining to how latency is an integral part of performance for AMD can be found in CPU reviews, which is a whole article in of itself. To spare the reader from the tedious task of putting the puzzle together, for AMD systems, the easiest thing to follow is to maximize the memory speed (frequency) without switching over to a 2:1 ratio. On a technical level, the memory controller frequency is now cut in half, operating in a 2:1 configuration with the system memory. It causes a major latency penalty and often negatively impacts performance in gaming. AMD dubbed DDR5-6000 its "sweet spot" for the Ryzen 7000 series. This is for a good reason, as 6200 MT/s to 6600 MT/s starts to enter the CPU lottery territory. Simply put, not all CPUs will be able to achieve 6200 MT/s or above without switching over to this undesirable 2:1 ratio.

This brings us to the first missed opportunity from Corsair. The lack of the lower EXPO profile (DDR5-5600), would incentivize buyers on the fence who are concerned about system compatibility. A OC profile is present, which we will get to later on, but a slower one is not. Corsair has the ability to add one, so why not? Companies like Patriot, Kingston and Neo Froza lead the way by example and it something that should be more widely adopted.

Another thing under Corsair control is the iCUE software. This piece of software has been loved or hated with passion by consumers since its introduction. My personal stance on the program is neutral as I see both the positive and negative aspects of it. Corsair has been listening to the complaints users have and has drastically improved some core problems and concerns with the iCUE software over the last year with the release of version 5 in 2023. This seemed like a necessity if Corsair wanted to remain a competitive player. Regardless of whether you like the iCUE software, it's needed to set up and control the RGB features of the memory. Corsair memory does not work with motherboard software on its own. There are third-party programs like SignalRGB as an alternative, but they are not supported by Corsair and you will get no tech support from Corsair when it comes to troubleshooting using anything but iCUE. It is understandable Corsair wants its products inside a contained ecosystem for compatibility reasons and better customer support. If you have a number of Corsair products already, it shouldn't be an issue. However, those who have multiple control programs for each different component, like fans, AIO coolers, motherboards, and system memory, may run into conflicts between programs.

Switching gears to what makes this memory actually an excellent choice is a multi-part answer. The first is simple, the DDR5-6000 EXPO profile and primary timings make it ideal for a vast majority of users who are looking for top performance right out of the box and aren't interested in tuning the memory for even greater results. Secondly, there is the increase in system memory from 32 GB to 64 GB. This might seem like an overabundance of memory, but Windows does take some advantage of this. For gamers and streamers, extra system memory allows more programs to run at the same time. It is a lot more common now to have Discord, Twitch or even YouTube videos playing on a second screen. While low latency memory has little impact on video workflows and encoding times, the total amount available is quite important to optimizing workflows and reducing software crashes due to simply just running out of memory during editing.

Lastly, for those who are into system optimization will definitely appreciate Corsair's 6200 MT/s EXPO profile. It was a surprise to me when I first reviewed the Dominator Titanium DDR5-7200 kit. After reaching out to our Corsair rep, it turns out this is just included with all Dominator Titanium kits. An extra profile that is one step up from the actual sold bin is technically not supported at all, but allows those who want to get a little more performance without needing a deep understanding of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary timings can do so with ease.

Overall, Corsair Dominator Titanium is a great follow-up to the long-standing Dominator series. Corsair essentially created a love letter to the AMD userbase in the form of this Dominator Titanium EXPO Edition with enthusiast grade timings, innovative RGB integration not found on any other competitors DRAM (yet), and reaches into the nostalgia realm for its Fin Top replacement that is reminiscent of DDR2 Dominator series. Corsair gives PC enthusiasts and hobbyists plenty of reasons to consider the Dominator Titanium as a "go-to" premium memory kit for that next epic AMD system build.
