Posted May 30, 2013 Dominator Platinum's Native Illumination wasn't as good as I would've liked. But after this upgrade it's fantastic ! Although, the finish on the Light Bars are something to be desired. It certainly doesn't look cheap but not as premium as the Original ! The upgrading process wasn't really complicated. Corsair kindly included additional screws & an allen key with the kit. Kit only has Arctic White & Cerulean Blue bars and I would've loved to see few more color options on the bars. But all that said & done, this was worth every penny :wub: Project Nstalgic: Scratch-built Case, Desk, Passive LCS on Copper Tubing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 30, 2013 Great, now comes the long wait for it to hit my neck of the woods, if ever. IF it does come, I'd prolly get two pairs of white kit, since my main rig internals red.....

Posted May 30, 2013 Hmm, the kits are cheaper than I expected at 20$. But still I feel the Dominators are too expensive... and why could't they have included the colored bars in the first place? Hardware DLC :P But the pictures are very nicely taken ^^ Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 30, 2013 Author Yeah right ? I've already paid a premium for these, they should have included it !and the quality of the bars aren't all that great compared to the original :/ I did felt like, Corsair gone all EA on us :( Thanks!

Posted June 4, 2013 Hmm, the kits are cheaper than I expected at 20$. But still I feel the Dominators are too expensive... and why could't they have included the colored bars in the first place? Hardware DLC :P So true, it's so like hardware DLC.....I mean, everything is there, Corsair could simply have shipped the Dom Plat with these lightbars, but no, we've got to pay extra for them! Despite all my bellyaching, I'm expecting my 2nd set to come tomorrow, already have and installed the first pair lightbars for my Dom Plat, took out my other two non-modded Dom Plat RAM to be set aside till tomorrow.

Posted June 6, 2013 This is a review? Four lines of text? The pics say more than what can be said in words......a picture paints a thousand words, so to say. What can be said about the Lightbar kit? It simply adds bling bling to the RAM and does nothing else. It's simple to install, just follow the instructions in the accompanying 'manual' and it's done.

Oh i was confused by the contrast on some of the pictures I thought they were adding extra light some how, thought the windowed little ports were stock, my mistake. If you look the first 2 pictures + caption followed by later pictures + caption are a tad misleading. Main Rig: i5 760 @ 4.0GHZ Asus p7p55d-e, 8GB Corsair Vengance @ 1600 Mhz.
