Boy, it has been quite a long time since I last tested a DDR3 memory kit, but thanks to the nice people at Corsair I now have something to play with and perhaps drool over
Thanks Alex Ruedinger, Mike Clements & Paul Watkins for the awesome Dominator GTX3 6GB kit!
I didn't have much free time the last 3 days, so it'll be a while before I have some solid numbers and the final clocks per timings-sets.
Some minutes ago I decided to put my new Core i7 980X's IMC ( Integrated Memory Controller ) to the test, and see if it's any good in triple channel memory clocking on air.
The rig, as usual:
Intel Core i7 980X B1 Stepping retail chip, 3005F210 batch
eVGA X58 SLI Classified ( BIOS 73 ) pure LGA1366 pwnage
Palit GeForce GTX480
3* Corsair Dominator GTX3 DDR3-2400 2GB DIMMs
All air-cooled, the classic ThermalRight Ultra-120 Extreme on the CPU, and 2 80mm antec tricool fans for the RAM
Did a few memtest86+ tests and some CPU-z validations.
DDR3-2500 10-12-10-31 triple channel full stable 40 loops test #5 done
DDR3-2700 10-12-10-31 t.c. bootable and Pi1M benchable at least
DDR3-2800 10-12-10-31 triple channel CPU-z validation done!
Can't wait to put those RAMs and the 980X under Liquid Nitrogen cooling ( hopefully the CPU will perform as well as its IMC does )
