Corsair Dominator? Is it any different?

[L_I_N_U_S]

Hello,

 

I am still compiling parts on my list for my new PC build and i was just wondering,

if the corsair Dominator 2x8GB would be any different from lets say the g-skill ripjaws 2x8

 

please reply if you know the answer to my question

 

PS: i would use this for video editing with a  i7 6700k

 

thanks

Yep. It looks a lot better than most ram kits. But that's about it unless you're comparing it with a lower clocked ram kit.

it's not any different than just having a high profile brushed Aluminum heatsink

or with any heatsinks.

Dominator Platinum are often some of the highest speed RAM kits on the market, but they're often insanely expensive. And then you're probably better off going for a higher end enthusiast class CPU (i7-5820k, i7-5930k, i7-5960x), but the boards for those I think will only support up to DDR4-2400 anyways. So I personally would never buy Dominator Platinum unless I have a really good reason for a consumer grade CPU while needing extremely high speed RAM.
