Which Corsair Domminator Kit PC8888 or PC10000

[Psycho_eddie]

Looking to get one of the premium Corsair Dominator packages

Interested in:

8888 4-4-4-12 @ 2.4V

9136 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1V

10000 5-5-5-15 @ 2.4V


Which is best performing kit to go for?

Which use best Micron chips?

Does the 9136 being only 2.1V currently have lots of headroom i.e just underclocked PC10000 set in reality?

As far as the binning goes, it's the 10k, 8888, then 9136 meaning that the 9136 won't pass our internal screen for 8888, the 8888 won't pass the internal screen for 10k, etc. But, they are all Micron D9. With a Quad, any of the 3 should be more than adequate.

How much of that ram are you going for? 'Cause for one 2x1Gb 10000 kit you can get as near as 4Gb's of 8500 Dominators..

Havnet seen the need to go 4GB yet so wanted to get some performence ram... but not going to DDR3 as way overpriced still!


Wouldnt ever intend to use 4x1GB, maby 2x2GB but corsair dont offer fast enough kit of this for my likeing... GET on it Yellowbeared!!


2 x 2Gb in 1066MHZ flavour 5-5-5-15 would be good with nice Dominator heatspreaders good enough market for em

Hey systemviper, keep me up to date on those pelts. That sounds like an interesting set up. There is a guy I talked to a while back that was working on one of these:

Just bit the bullit and bought PC10000 Dominator KIT :shocked:


So they are 1250Mhz 5-5-5-18 @ 2.4V


Should be able to tighten up 5-5-5-15 @ that voltage?

Whats max allowed (warrenty) Volts wise on these?

the PC10000 kit should easly allow backwards spec to PC8888 1142 4-4-4-12 @ 2.4V??

[Yellowbeard]

I've actually never tried tRAS at 15 at that speed but, it should do it. 2.4v is the max testing and warranted voltage. The 1250 is a higher screen and "should" do 1111 (1142 is PC9136 speed) at those timings but, there is no guarantee of course.

[Psycho_eddie]

Manged to get confirm that the 10000PC kit ive just ordered is Version 1.1

Any major changes in versions i.e lesser quality Micron chips etc?

[Yellowbeard]

Any major changes in versions i.e lesser quality Micron chips etc?No, there aren't any other ICs we've found that will meet the screen.

Got sticks today, are damn sexy!!

Due to Q6600 400x9 (3600)

Mem divider gives me 1066mhz or 1203 Mhz or 1280Mhz option


Set Volt to 2.4V

and chose 1280mhz option and stable so far with prime 95 etc!

[Psycho_eddie]

Okay not happy, one stick has just given up the ghost. Turned on pc this moring didnt post! tested old ram and worked. So tested these sticks one at a time and bingo one clearly is dead!

First time had ram die on me :shakes:

[Psycho_eddie]

Recived RMA but asking me to post out to USA!

Is their no UK facility?

Otherwise will be out of action for weeks as they want both sticks to ensure i have matched pair!

:shrug:

[Yellowbeard]

Eddie, sorry you had the module die on you. Unfortunately, at this time we can only do the RMA via Fremont, California USA. Have you contacted your reseller? Postage may be faster and cheaper if they can help.

[Psycho_eddie]

Reseller (SCAN) has taken them back and found them faulty, will replace as soon as they get stock back in :cool:


To late perhaps, going 64Bit Vista when i have to format HD for arrival of eVGA 780I and now find corsair offers 4GB pack of PC2-8500!! :up:

Although would of prefured PC2-9136 sticks

[Yellowbeard]

Psycho_eddie, sorry again you had the DOA Dominator. As for the 4gb 8500s and 9136s:
