FEBRUARY 2019 PCWorld 21On the top are normal SMD RGB LEDs and on the bottom is Corsair’s new Capellix.
This demo module shows a new Corsair Capellix
LED in action. The illuminated strip above is a
traditional SMD LED.and headphones without jeopardizing battery
life. The ramifications of it, frankly, aren’t
known yet.
The first Corsair hardware to use Capellix
LEDs will be Dominator RAM modules. Each
will feature just 12 Capellix RGB LEDs in it for
lighting. Why just 12 when Capellix is capable
of being so dense? Corsair said it wanted to
keep power consumption low so it can clock
the modules to high levels—something that
can be a problem with RGB lighting.
The Dominator modules will be available
in February but you can bet Corsair is working
on just where else it can stuff more RGB LEDS
into a PC.
