*HOT* | Corsair DOMINATOR GT | 6GB (3x2GB) | DDR3-2000 7-8-7-20 @ 1.65V | *HOT*

[superray]

This is indeed the best DDR3 so far.

[azza21]

They look the part but the price will be ridiculously high. Just wait Kingston will be releasing the same RAM at half the price of these red GT's, they will use the same IC's.

Yeah, Kingston will probably catch up too, a little late but hopefully it will. Is good to know OCZ has a kit like this already. G.Skill has also a kit like this HERE.
Man, it feels good to see that each other will have to compete

[Harshal]

Must keep fighting!!
Must keep fighting!!
Ahhh well I give up..... its sexy and I want one set!!

[firerx]

I waiting for these to do my next upgrade, hopefully they'll come to market in the next 60 days. And, Intel's MAX on the memory controller in the CPU is 1.65v, not 1.35v. If that was the case, none of the motherboards out there would be in compliance.

[D3mon_Hunt3r]

The max voltage at a value of 1.65 is the Dram voltage which is the one you're talking we're talking about QPI/VTT voltage which is 1.35 max recommended.

You guys are really eager to be dropping this kind of cash on a 6Gb Kit...

[Kensek]

I got my my Official response from G. Skill earlier today. It seems all of these DDR3-2000 CL9 to the upcoming CL7 Ram kits will need to be ran with QPI/DRAM vtt at 1.55 - 1.65v.

The G. Skill Black Pi DDR3-2000 will run at 9-9-9-24 1N with 1.55v on the QPI/DRAM vtt.


Dear customer



All DDR3 2000 module requires QPI Voltage 1.55v to run.

You need to have good air flow on NB chipset. 1.35v is way to low though it is the recommend the safe voltage.

As long as NB chipset temp is not too hot, it is ok.



Thank you

GSKILL SUPPORT

[D3mon_Hunt3r]

Weird cause every body keeps saying that voltage is dangerous for the CPU if it's related to the NB temperature then its kinda confusing :P.

[Kabauterman]

I love this pretty good looking RAMs!

Waiting for some OC Results!

[kill_a_wat]

Oh my gosh they look ammmaaazziing As someone else already mentioned they really match the Bloodrage color scheme

[R0bert]

They should start selling 'RED' combo like BloodRage+Corsair Dominator GT+4870X2/or single, lol.
Waiting for some retail prices, gonna be sky high probably unfortunately :<

[shoopdawoopa]

I cant wait to see the price tag on these beasts

[DavidNJ]

I was thinking blood rage also. How about green tops of DFI and blue for P6T and Gigabyte?

Now the real question: 2000@1.65v, what are they at 1.9v or 2.0v? Are the ok at those voltages? Those are very tight timings. Will they really be DDR3-2400 at the 9-9-9-9-24/28/30 that current DDR3-2000 have?

[Gautam]

Weird cause every body keeps saying that voltage is dangerous for the CPU if it's related to the NB temperature then its kinda confusing :P.

It is completely related to the CPU, and unrelated to the IOH (what everyone still likes calling the "NB")

It controls the uncore, and importantly, the memory controller's voltage.

[DavidNJ]

still waiting on some 32M SuperPi action

i'm benching with this 3GB kit at 1GHz CAS7 as well .... heheh but those should be quicker a bit

What were the memory volts for that? The memory held tight timings right through a 7% overclock.

Are you on water or chilled?

Haha, rarely read so much BS in so few lines before, only maybe in Asus tech support emails

1. Going above 1,35V VTT 24/7 DOES mean running your CPU out of spec, and should therefore not be recommended by memory manufacturers, simple as that. In my personal opinion, chances for CPU damage beyond 1,5V are given but unlikely, but that's just me - time will tell I guess.

2. Keep your NB cool because the mem controller still sits in the NB with i7 - yeah right

3.

As long as NB chipset temp is not too hot, it is ok.

That's about all I got in response, sorry guys

4. Erm wait.. QPI voltage? Huh? Is that the NB voltage? I should think not
See what happens when Asus names the VTT "QPI Voltage"?

The award for most clueless tech support hereby goes to G.Skill.. no wait, Asus can't be beaten in that respect, not even by this

[Ozzfest05]

sorry to say buddy G skill normally has good support dont base your opinion on one experience their isnt only one person that works at G skill

[jcool]

Oh well, I may have overreacted a bit. Still this reply is hilarious indeed...

[Ozzfest05]

no matter what company's support you call you will get one bad apple thats why you hang up and hit redial

[IronWarrior]

So how can 2000 memory be used on a motherboard that is meant to support 1600? this stuff confuses the hell out of me.

So, can this memory be used on a P6T and run stable for a year or so?

[knissel]

^its bad for your electricity to run your pc for an entire year

[cstkl1]

no matter what company's support you call you will get one bad apple thats why you hang up and hit redial

if u guys think this is bad
here is my conversation with convergent ( local distro for ocz) to the sales guy name melvin

cstkl1: hi i would like to know the pricing of the ocz blade and eta
melvin: i am sorry its not in our pricelist
cstkl1: i fully anticipated that and would like you to order it for me
melvin: ok so this is the 2000mhz CL7??
cstkl1: yup
melvin: y not go for our other cl7's?? platinum etc
cstkl1wtf)... what cl7's are u talking about
melvin: we have some 1333's cl7's etc
cstkl1: eh i would like to run 2000mhz Cl7 at 1.65v 1N
melvin: u cannot run 1N on x58..

here is where i put down the phone

back to the topic..
does anybody know when the gt's will be on sale officially??
dont mind paying for these
somebody in singapore managed to get one magically.

[cstkl1]

update

confirmed ocz has around 200 units of the blades but the selling price is at
RM 2300.. exchange rate of 3.5 so that would make it USD657

so far pretty darn pissed with ocz and their binning.. seems to only works on the the motherboards they binned with which is usually one or two...

corsair dominators seems to work flawlessly for the ddr3's on most of mobo's

so what u guys think wait or just take the ocz's??
prefer corsair though...

[DualCpuUser]

Well I don't know. I am not bragging here, but for the cost its rediculous. I have 6GB of Mushkins at 7-8-7-20-1T at 1600 1.65v. Performance is so close to above that the price of $250 for all vs. 650 not worth it.

Thats only your opinion though. 1600 C7 vs. 2000 C7 is a HUGE difference to alot of people here. And many are willing and able to pay those high prices for the performance.
