[WR]PRETESTING Corsair GTX2, behold DDR3-2340 6-7-6 AIR! [WR]

[M.Beier]

Opening with a short story as usual
Italian Nexthardware & Gigabyte decided to help me, in order to get connected for that Im very pleased!

A short while ago a parcel arrived at my new appartment;

The package contained;
3x 2GB Corsair GTX2 DDR3-2250 8-8-8-24 1.65v, Dominator fan

A bit earlier a big nice PSU arrived:
Corsair TX950, a 78A 12V monster, reviewed here

I messed around a little, but it didnt take me long to realize it was invain... There was no way to do max clocks without DICE on CPU, IMC simply needs the cold to satisfy the ram extreme brute force..
So what to do, what to do? Well, low latency performs good

Setup used;
Intel i7-870
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6
Corsair 2x2GB GTX2250
Corsair TX950
Corsair Dominator FAN
Home build water; (Mo-Rad 9x120x120, Laing D5, Enzotech, res, 4x120mm fans)

Here is what I came up with! Please note; ALL has been done with aircooled ram.

The voltage remains hidden for this shot, personal reasons

In this little project, I decided to make a benchtower, so that I could put it on my balcony while I was sitting inside in the warm heat.

Pics of the setup;

THANKS TO MADSHRIMPS




Yes that is the TX950 in there

So a few more significant results, as these prove a heck of alot more...

32M, stability!
I dare tell vdimm of this one, sure, its high, but they wont die...

1.96v


I cant resist saying, I actually like their looks, maybe its because I think they are slightly copycat? Secret revealed; Heck, Im an ATI fanboy!



So how high did they do 1M??? Again; Vdimm, secret. (please note, above no#2 suicide)


Finally, a pic of the spec label;


Many thanks to;
Corsair & Gigabyte

Reserved for results with the t30 once it arrives

[eva2000]

woah bloody awesome 2340mhz 6-7-6-24 and 2148mhz 6-7-6-24 !!! Although would be better if cpu could do it on air/water

[TheKarmakazi]

These results are RIDICULOUS (but in a really good, balls to the wall sort of way)

[resident1509]

thats some crazy memory.

i am curious about your test bench setup: did you just remove the back panel and tray from a case and screw it to the table after cutting out some wood?

[Oliver]

way to go , sweet c6 numbers

keep pushing it

[zalbard]

Whoa, bloody amazing sticks!
Congrats on the WR!

[CryptiK]

Incredible clocks for 6-7-6-X, that's some special ram!

woah bloody awesome 2340mhz 6-7-6-24 and 2148mhz 6-7-6-24 !!! Although would be better if cpu could do it on air/water

This was all done with CPU on water. It was the max clocks he said needs DICE for. At least that's how I read it.

[M.Beier]

Thanks all!

Eva2000; Yes, true, honestly, I tried 1300mhz 7-8-7 as first thing, but simply, the IMC in my i7-870 is too weak for that... That is the story of the watercooling

Resident1509; Basicly yes.... Good thing about this table is that its very solid, you can fall on it, it wont break, you dont have to be careful moving it around, I put some textile pads on the buttom as well, just to allow even easier moving.... Daily its standing under my table... =)

Oliver; Next time; WE will be pushing it

[Hyperhorn]

Hehe, nice toys to play with...
I knew you were preparing crazy RAM numbers, but I`m glad it worked out that nice. Well done, congrats!

[Leeghoofd]

Great work Marc, nice little monsters you got there...

[Hazzan]

its matter time that stick can go higher...

....nice result...Keep pushing

[eva2000]

doh i read wrong indeed water cooled ! crazy stuff indeed!

[petervandamned]

kadeng man

brutal results

[Nanok]

that is one nice set of ram :-)

[Gautam]

Very nice cas 6

[[XC] Oj101]

Very nicely done Marc, I'd love to know the maximum voltage you used

[BenchZowner]

I'd say 2.25V

[Monstru]

Nice results bro, and nice love from Corsair...hehehe

[Jor3lBR]

Very nice results Beier Any word on the ram IC's?

[BenchZowner]

I'd say MGH-E.

[nickshih]

wow , great dimms .... Is the same timing passed 3dmark benching too ??

[M.Beier]

Thanks all

Lower vdimm then expected
I dont know which ICs are used on the sticks, but MGH sounds realistic, due the scaling with voltage, but from what I found, the ver.x.x of Corsair cant fit, because I noticed from Hi Cookies pictures on facebook on the GTX1 kit (2400 9-11-9), 8.1, that would equal nanya IC, which I do not think will happen....

Nickshih, I didnt test 3D, but I would say, if 32M stable, deff 3D stable, the sticks are killers =) I do believe 1100mhz 6-7-6 is possible if removing the humidity control on T30, for 3D benching as well

[rabor]

Could you pls show us some Everest Cache & Mem benchies with the cpu at 4- and/or 4.2GHz?

[bachus_anonym]

@M.Beier,
Those are some fairly decent numbers you've got there... j/k! Very, strong and impressive showing! Congrats!

Dominator GTX2 (just as as GTX1) was born to to fit any hardcore overclocker the way a well fitted glove fits a hand.
I'm glad you're giving it the proper treatment!

I'm sure that with T30 you will climb up even higher Good luck!
