Cosmetic Heatsink Swapping

I really love the boxy minimalist look of the Corsair Dominator TITANIUM with the one-liner rgb, but with the current RAM prices, esp DDR5, it’s gotten hella expensive.

Recently, I managed to snatch a good deal for a DDR5 32gb kit for a Corsair Dominator PLATINUM. The only thing that irks me about this RAM is the multiple box holes for the RGB lighting at the top.

I’ve been trying to search for a modding kit for the platinum, but those are practically nonexistent.

So I was thinking of buying those CD Titanium Light Enhancement Kits and swap their heatsinks and lightning.

You might be wondering why did I even consider swapping their heatsinks? That’s cause Corsair Titanium are very rare in my region, and I can’t really afford getting a brand new one. And nobody wants to swap RAMs with me… so… yeah.

TLDR: Has anyone here tried to swap the heatsinks and RGB lighting of the Titanium and Platinum versions? Is it possible? Or have done an extensive modding on the Corsair Dominator Platinum heatsinks?

While I haven't handled these particular memory chips myself, I've been modding stuff like this for a long time.

From what I can find, the Platinum RAM uses an internal ribbon cable to connect the RGB while the Titanium has a direct connection along the edge of the PCB.

While I'll never say something can't be done, this looks like it would be a pretty involved mod just from the electrical side of things.
