Following on the release of Kingston’s 128GB DDR4 HyperX memory, Corsair has now hit back with new 128GB memory kits of its own. And in the style of preceding manufacturers like Kingston and G.Skill, Corsair is also claiming a world’s first for itself – these kits are supposedly the first unbuffered 128GB DDR4 memory kits available.
It is releasing a total of three kits, one in the Vengeance LPX line-up and the other two in the Dominator Platinum series:-
Product | Size | Speed | Latency / Voltage | MSRP (USD) |
Vengeance LPX 128GB | 8 x 16GB | 2400MHz | 14-16-16-31/1.2V | $1754.99 |
Dominator Platinum 128GB | 8 x 16GB | 2400MHz | 14-16-16-31/1.2V | $1979.99 |
Dominator Platinum 128GB | 8 x 16GB | 2666MHz | 15-17-17-35/1.2V | $2119.99 |
The Vengeance LPX memory features aluminium heat spreaders for faster heat dissipation and an eight-layer PCB for high-performance overclocking. According to Corsair, each IC is screened screened individually to ensure that it can deliver the expected performance.

The premium Dominator Platinum RAM modules feature the series' signature metallic-looking industrial design and have similarly undergone individual IC screening. Users will be able to swap out the light pipes for customizable LED lighting.

All three RAM kits will support XMP 2.0 and are backed by Corsair's lifetime warranty. Existing 128GB kits, like the one from Kingston HyperX, feature buffered memory and are mainly targeted at servers which require more reliable memory systems. On the other hand, the new kits from Corsair are unbuffered, meaning that they will mainly see use in consumer Intel X99 desktop systems.
But given the prices and capacities of these kits, only the most demanding professional content creators are likely to need this much memory, let alone pay for them.
