Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 Memory Hits 2533MHz, Sets World Record for DDR3 Frequency

[onethreehill]

Corsair, announced today that Corsair Labs has set the world record for DDR3 frequency on a Core i7 system. Corsair Labs achieved an astounding speed of DDR3-2533MHz with the aggressive memory timings of 7-8-7-20 using a triple-channel 6GB memory kit. This new world record, verified and validated by CPU-Z, the industry-standard tool for verifying overclocking results, is the first time this frequency has been achieved on a Core i7 system with 6GB of memory using three modules; most world record attempts use only a single 1GB module. Corsair Labs engineers used the award-winning Dominator GT 2000C7 memory with eVGA’s X58 3X SLI Classified motherboard to shatter the world record for memory frequency. Validated results and setup details can be viewed here.

“When it comes to overclocking and memory, Corsair has proven—once again—that its engineering team truly is the best”, said Kevin Conley, Vice President of Engineering for Corsair, “As the new world record shows, Corsair’s modules are second-to-none in terms of performance, stability and quality.”

You posted a thread a few secs after I did about the subject.

[Zucker2k]

Lol!

[Splave]

OMG they all must clock like this then

great ram for sure, just dont like when a company portraits these records like they are easily achieved and not hand chosen pieces.

[dinos22]

nice going

have a look at the NB frequency as well guys
this makes it even harder to reach such frequency

What voltage was that at?

hehe, me too.

crazy clocks by the way, i am assuming the TEC cooler was involved at some point?

Me thinks so too.

Corsair Dominator 2000C7GT .:. !!! DDR3-2533 CL7 3ch !!! .:. Details inside & more!

[saaya]

yay, handpicking ftw!

the thread title is wrong btw, 2533 isnt the wr for ddr3, its not even the wr for core i7, not even for 3 channels...

[dexster]

still impressive ram
but almost definitely hand picked

[sofos1990]

Impressive kit!!! Well done!!!
A hand picked kit for sure

[saaya]

i wonder how good yields are, can we expect anything above 2000 with cas7 anytime soon bachus?
2133 cas7 maybe?

[dinos22]

yay, handpicking ftw!

lol says an ex-rep from a company that was selling suerpcherry picked ES IC based RAM

[K404]

Well the GT line is handpicked so cant realllyyyyyy argue that too much.

If it was retail SPD and publicly available board BIOS then thats open-enough for me

Are Corsair in a position to discuss Dom-GT SPD progression? Is there a flash n forget SPD for all or is it an ever-developing setup or even unique SPD per stick?

Cherry CPU too, lets be honest

[perkam]

At more than $100 per stick, this should be expected.

exactly, cellshock was selling the top bin handpicked stuff...

if you wanted one, you could buy it...
cellshock never sent handpicked kits off to reviewers or used them as pr bait...
they were sold to benchers, and with the jnl blue series, anybody could buy one.

one exception, the z9 blue kit for victorwang... and that didnt go the way it was planned, micron stopped shipping z9 stuff...
otherwise id have made a blue series like i did with gtr/gts and jnl
i really didnt like how victorwangs preview raised expectations, it was great pr wise, but misleading, and we decided to never do something like this again and only send out samples of a top bin if we were sure it would be launched later on.

Well the GT line is handpicked so cant realllyyyyyy argue that too much.

its not an off the shelf random average dominator gt kit though is it?

imo all this showing off with handpicked hardware, memory, cpus, vgas, is a huge enthusiast SELL OUT and a shame...
showing scores of a piece of hardware that is so expensive that its virtually impossible for 99% of the people to get it is questionable already, but acceptable imo, showing off a product that truly nobody will be able to get is imo highly dishonest and misleading...

yes, and it was a retail kit for sure :P

honestly, where does it all end?

core i7 clocks up to 5.6g 3d stable on ln2, cool, i wanna get one, nah nvm, the average retail chips rarely get over 5.2, many dont even make it to 5.

ok, then how about a 7G+ phenom2?
good luck getting some liquid helium ordered and the cooling setup configured, better start saving money already... oh and with a retail chip hitting 6.5G might actually be a tough call already...

ok, then how about a gtx295 at 1ghz core? thats gonna kick some 4ss!
mmhh not really possible, you need a special ocp mod for that and its kept secret by the ones who have it... and youd have to try several 450$ cards for those high clocks too

right... memory clocking then, ddr3 2500 cas7 here i come... oh wait, let me guess, no matter how much i spend i wont be able to buy such a kit either huh?

i really regret that companies are so involved in overclocking their hardware these days... i prefered it when they didnt even know people were ocing and tweaking their products that much and it was mostly luck of the draw of finding a nice clocking chip, and it was about skill and not just about deep wallets and good relations to the big manufacturers...

Off topic;

that's not even a legit validation - there is a loophole in CPU-Z validation that is being explotied by some boards when you push their BCLK near 240. CPU-Z begins to jump around wildly and shows a false clock reading, worse still it's accepted as a submission.

My bad

I didn't know that raju. Thanks for enlightenment

To be honest, this result is as valid as the one that was submitted last weekend - DFI LP DK X58 with 3GB - If I recall it was purported to be over DDR3-2900 CL7 and around 370MHz BLCK It appears that it was taken down sometime this week... I think in reality, it's was around DDR3-2000...

You're right Bachus, i didn't pay attention BLCK at first sight.

My bad again ...
