Corsair Dominator GT 6GB 2000MHz CL8 @ 2500MHz 8-9-8-24 1T

[matose]

I present to you a short overclocking test of the well known Corsair Dominator GT 6GB 2000 CL8 modules. This particular kit isn't that good, they do 2000MHz 7-8-7-20 1T with 1.77-1.79v. They have the new revision Elpida Hyper (MGH-E), which you can see from the CMG part number writen on the modules. The memory is aircooled by CMXAF1 during all the tests...

Test platform:

CPU: Xeon W3580 on SS
MB: EVGA X58 3xSLI Classified
VGA: HIS X1600PRO
HDD: Samsung F3 500GB
PSU: CoolerMaster Real Power PRO 1250W

Results

• SuperPI 1M @ 1913MHz 6-7-6-18 1T 1.9v

• SuperPI 1M @ 2066MHz 7-7-6-20 1T 1.9v

• SuperPI 1M @ 2192MHz 7-8-7-20 1T 1.9v

• SuperPI 1M @ 2276MHz 8-8-7-22 1T 1.9v

• SuperPI 1M @ 2430MHz 8-9-8-24 1T 1.9v

Validations:

• 1927MHz 6-7-6-18 1T @ 1.9v
• 2080MHz 7-7-6-20 1T @ 1.9v
• 2206MHz 7-8-7-20 1T @ 1.9v
• 2290MHz 8-8-7-22 1T @ 1.9v
• 2500MHz 8-9-8-24 1T @ 1.9v

Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a nice day,

I don't see any pics for SuperPi runs mate

[matose]

Hope it's fixed now

Wow But where's the 6-6-6 testing?

[matose]

It seems I missed that . Sorry for that...

Hi matose!

Great work man, both your latest threads! Respect!

I want to ask you something, I see you are comfortable with 1.90V, do you use some aggressive fans? I've seen pic in your other thread without fan, how warm are your memory heatspreaders? 1.90V is your fail safe votage for benching? I'm at 1.75V mostly so I'm curious

[matose]

The PSC chips on the GTX1 in the other thread are cold as ice, but as we all know the Elpida Hyper are little hot bastards. So, I cooled them with the CMXAF1 fan from Corsair which did a good job, the modules stayed just a little warm even at 1.9v. The MGH-E don't die that easily, you can feed them with 2v and they're still ok !

[Kentaro]

2500 MHz CL8 is pretty nice. I'm looking forward to see how much they can go under cold

[Monstru]

The MGH-E don't die that easily, you can feed them with 2v and they're still ok !

This is the opinion of the author, the LAB501 crew does not suppor such practices and cannot be held responsable for any damage that may occur to your hardware after trying such voltages.


BTW, matose, this is how DDR3 2500 looks like bro, that is 2499,8 you have there =))=))=))

[George_o/c]

Lab501 is on FIRE and I like it

[matose]

Yeah Monstru yeah.... those Kingston are better binned than these Corsair

George, it's time to put out the fire with some LN2

[Oliver]

hey man thats some nice testing going on

keep pushing it

Thank you for your answer, with AMD I don't need high voltage because my memory is not the problem, so increasing voltage doesn't help, but it is good to know I can move safely to 1.80V for benchmarks, it will give me more room when I switch to another motherboard

CL7 seems very bad if 1090 1M is all you get with 1.9V
I guess you just stumbled on a CL8-preferring kit there

[Gautam]

The ram clocks are very good no doubt, but what's really impressing me here is the 1250 in triple channel. It takes a rare IMC to do that...

[matose]

Yes, the IMC on that Xeon is very good.... around 5150-5200MHz uncore in SPI1M / PiFast on SS

I said at the begining the kit is not very good with CL7, I have much better kits... but the CL8 is strong...
