EK Monarch system question (RAM)

Nibbles · 16 Jul 2014 at 10:16

I'm looking for some clarity on using the EK ram blocks for a ITX full WC build that I keep dreaming about and will hopefully soon become a reality.

Does anyone know if the new Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM is compatible with the system or will I need to locate some old school dominator sticks?
From the pictures on the site it looks like the tops are removable.

Otherwise I may as well recycle my existing vengeance from my current system.

Thanks in advance. :confused:

Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM is not compatible by default like the older Dominators are. However if you purchase EK-RAM Monarch Modules, they will be compatible.

Any ETA on stock?

I see there are non on OCUK or direct from EK

Also in further question...
Does the linked kit provide enough parts to do 2 DDR sticks or is the 2 parts just 2 halves of a single kit and so I would need 2 kits to cool and attach for a dual channel kit?

As far as I can tell it is for two DIMM's.

There are two pictured as well. The other side looks different so it isn't two sides of the same one.

I'll keep my eyes peeled!
Also is the nickel monarch block more like the CSQ design or more like the normal plexi nickel blocks. This may affect my colour scheme! It might be all wrong!

They are for 2 modules. Very nice looking blocks too!

We have pretty much every variation available for CSQ/Clean CSQ Copper/Nickel Acetal/Plexi
