emissary42 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 It depends upon your PC usage. If you were running out of memory before and your system started swapping, then doubling the amount of memory does help a lot to prevent this and thereby can speed things up. The additional bandwidth and reduced overall memory latency of DDR3-2133 vs DDR3-1866 is something you probably won't notice unless you are using applications that actually are heavily memory bandwidth dependent (e.g. compressing / decompressing large archives). If you're ever upgrading to a newer gen processor from your i7-2600K, these CMD16GX3M2A2133C9 can be overclocked to DDR3-2400 no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImtheBest Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I also have another question of this Corsair Dominator Platinum ram. It says it uses the Corsair link software. Does that work right when u install it or do u need the other piece for that to work for the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 With the modules alone you can't use it, that needs additional LINK hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-attack Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just to be clear, the Corsair Link program does not work with the memory modules. Their lighting is only altered with the light bar kit, available separately (blue/white). The Corsair Link program does work with the Dominator memory fan system, allowing control of the memory fans and some lighting control. It also is an option extra and does come with some of the very high end kits. It's the red glowing piece in the promotions. The Corsair Link program would tie in with your power supply, but I have never used it in that fashion. Perhaps someone else can walk you though it. I don't know enough about the controls on ASRock to gauge whether Link would be useful to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what i don't understand wytnyt is Both of them have USB 2.0 Right I'm i wrong or right. I already have the H100i water Cooler hooked up to a USB 2.0 so there are not enough USB 2.0 on the Motherboard for the airflow and commander mini. SO i can use the COrsair LInk with my 16 GB Dominator Platinum. My motherboard is AsRock Z77 OC Formula. Is that right what they told me to get . Its surprisingly that theres no guides on this a video tut would be nice from them. I hope this help u a bit more then i said before and everyone else here that can help Thank u everyone who has put ther effort in here to try and help me.

ImtheBest Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 OK so I called Corsair Tech Support +1-888-222-4346 ext 702 And i got a guy on the phone. He said all's i needed was the Corsair Commander Mini and the Corsair Link Accessory Cable Kit to hook up the ram to the Link Software. He said all's i do is unplu the USB 2.0 from the motherboard to my H100i water cooling and plug the Commander mini USB 2.0 in the motherboard. Then just plug the USB 2.0 from the water cooling to the cammander. Is this right cuz i don't see a USB 2.0 plug on the commander in the screenshot on Corsiars site Please help me somebody with this i really need help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
