A heat spreader does not always bring the temperature down. Rather than that, it moves the heat from the chips to the PCB, distributes it more evenly throughout the module, and eliminates potential hot spots. Theoretically, this should allow better overclocking.

Corsair Dominator Titanium First Edition equips the 7200 MHz CL34 DDR5 memory modules with DHX’s powerful (and oversized) aluminum heat spreader with a white color. It looks attractive and should make this memory kit appear nice in a build.

The top trim is interchangeable - we can leave the factory superstructure with LED strips or insert a copper ridge, somewhat reminiscent of older Dominator releases (both have thermopads). There are 11 addressable LEDs on the back of the LED strip, which we can manage from the iCUE software. Interestingly, the comb-shaped copper insert is removable and can make way for any matching component created with a 3D printer. The comb does not need to be mounted, but the memories do not look aesthetically pleasing, as the mounting and contact holes for the LEDs are visible.

The total height of the stick is about 56 mm/2.2 inches. That’s a high-profile module, so you can encounter problems with air coolers. However, we always recommend double-checking whether any clearance issues won’t occur before you buy this set. 

Ok, here are the last shots of this nice memory kit. The module weighs 75 g, so the radiator seems quite solid.
