Hi there, guys!

Some of you probably already read on other hardware sites on the Web that we hit DDR3-2462 CL9 with Corsair Dominator. I decided that I might have to "explain myself", to those of you I grew up with in Xtreme Bandwidth section on XS, place I call home This is also the chance for me to come by again, and say hi, even though I constantly pay attention to you guys pushing the limits here everyday - awesome 15k @ 2200 Jody, sweet 11m @ 4G Spi32M dinos, nice 1200+ on 9136C5 George, and more!

So here it goes...

All this was a it "on the side" activity during some test we've been doing at very high DDR3 speeds on Intel X48 chipset. Then I decided, what a hell, let's go, and see how far I can crank up those babies. Natually, I had to find a spot for SuperPi 32M. Nothing tweaked here, no copy-waza, maxmem and all the good stuff, not this time at least. Fruits of the work below



Setup:

Motherboard: Asus P5E3 Premium
Memory: Corsair Dominator 2133C9 "in the works"
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
CPU cooling: Corsair Nautilus 500
NB cooling: stock, 120mm fan blowing across

Code:
Voltages for: 
DDR3-2462 CL9     DDR3-2268 CL9    DDR3-2228 CL9 SuperPi 32M

vDD = 2.30v       vDD = 2.10v      vDD = 2.10v
vNB = 1.71v       vNB = 1.71v      vNB = 1.71v
vPLL = 2.30v      vPLL = 2.10v     vPLL = 2.10v
vFSB = 1.30v      vFSB = 1.30v     vFSB = 1.30v

As you can see, there's not much extreme about this setup's cooling.
