Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5200MHz Ram Review
Corsair 32GB DDR5 5200MHz latest in our series of DDR5 memory reviews is here. Unlike our reviews of the G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000(opens in new tab) and Teamgroup Delta DDR5-6400(opens in new tab) kits, the Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5-5200 features a more earthly spec and a price that won’t make you faint at first glance. Though, like all DDR5, it costs a lot more than it reasonably should.
Corsair 32GB DDR5 5200MHz problems with DDR5 supply have been well reported. DDR5 is a good example of how supply chain problems can decimate the availability of a product. Much like a car without a steering wheel is useless, DDR5 memory is useless without critical power management components. We're told that the supply of PMICs is improving, but it could be some time before DDR5 becomes more affordable and even longer before it reaches DDR4 levels of affordability.
We aren't going to harp on and on about that. In the coming months, when prices are a lot lower, and we're hopefully enjoying post pandemic life, these kits will look like absolute bargains compared to where they are now.
Corsair 32GB DDR5 5200MHz Dominator kits have always had premium good looks, and I think its DDR5 kits still look great. The black aluminium heat spreaders feel very solid and heavy. Even the fonts on the sides add a touch of class, even if you'll never see them built inside your rig. If DDR5 needed any significant cooling, these heat spreaders would do a sterling job. It must be said that these modules are very tall, so you'll need to make sure your cooler won't be impeded.
Corsair 32GB DDR5 5200MHz tops of the heatsinks feature something of a blocky Tetris-y RGB look. They can be controlled by Corsair's popular and easy to use, if somewhat resource intensive, iCue software. If you've got other Corsair components lighting up your PC, then you'll be right at home. A Corsair case, memory, cooler and keyboard/mouse combo can look great when its all synced up. Though I have to say, I am not personally a fan of RGB, but I will admit to a little bit of guilty pleasure having a play with a full set of synchonized RGB components.
Corsair 32GB DDR5 5200MHz kit I'm testing here runs at 5200MHz with 38-38-38-84 timings at a voltage of 1.25v. That’s about what we'd consider to be a sweet spot kit based on speeds and timings, at least for first generation DDR5. In the future, faster speeds or lower timings will require a rethink of that statement, however. This kit comes equipped with Micron ICs which are currently the weakest of the three we’ve tested to date. Samsung and Hynix seem to be the favoured IC for faster kits, and Hynix more widely compatible of those, with Micron being well suited to more affordable mainstream kits.
Corsair 32GB DDR5 5200MHz makes us wonder why Corsair opted to pair its flagship design with what is otherwise a middle of the range spec memory component.
