Conclusion

General + -
Overall it can be said, that the Corsair Dominator DDR4 ROG-3200C16 16 Gigabyte memory kit does what Corsair claims they do and therefore they clear specs without an issue. Apart from that the Dominator kits do have a reputation for being beautiful and this ROG themed kits is not an exception. Nevertheless CL16-18-18-36 at DDR4-3200 is a rather conservative latency set. The maximum frequency this kit could easily cope with was DDR4-3466 at CL15. In this case we had to run it with 1.5V.   - Compatibility with big coolers  
 
Scaling   + -
The only latency set with which we've noticed linear scaling was CL15. If we look at CL12, CL13, CL14 as well as CL16 we always see a degression when setting 1.5 volt. This means, that at 1.5 Volt you can drive these sticks close to their maximum frequency.   - Scaling CL15  
 
Overclocking   + -
Using the Rampage V Extreme and our specific memory testing CPU, which has a good IMC, reaching 3.2GHz on the memory was actually easy. Unfortunately the journey stops quite soon at 3466 MHz. In this case we have to feed these sticks with 1.5 volt and it's running with the stock latency set.   - 3.4+ GHz
 
 
Recommendation / Price   + -
Checking Geizhals.at for prices we find the Corsair Dominator DDR4 ROG-3200C16 16 Gigabyte kit listed for 350 Euro. Corsair is therefore continuing with their pricing scheme and these Dominator modules are definitely no bargain. We would honeslty like to find these modules for less then 300 Euro. Considering that other manufacturers are offering DDR4 memory kits with tighter latency for a lower price these modules are facing tough competition.     - Price
 
Rating
The Corsair Dominator DDR4 ROG-3200C16 receives good 4 out of 5 stars.
