Well there you have it…my first work with the X38 chipset on the Maximus Extreme and my first work with a kit of Dominator memory from Corsair. If I was to compare these results to the Crucial Ballistix OC Report on the Asus P5K3-Dlx it would be a no brainer that this kit wins at every timing set hands down. Of course that isn't exactly a fair comparison because the X38 chipset has been reported to clock DDR3 better than P35. It certainly handles DDR2 high clocks much better than anything before it. I will of course find some time to test the Ballistix in the Maximus Extreme for an equal comparison but I think I will find this kit of Corsair PC3-14400 Dominator to still be ahead by a reasonable margin at all clocks.
At this time of posting I have not had the chance to do any phase change or dry ice benching with this kit on this motherboard but you can be sure there are plenty of sessions that this memory will see in the future. The Benchmarking Results section in the post previous to this one is where you will want to look for all those high clock results that will focus more on performance than stability.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this report, the memory, or the motherboard used; don't hesitate to ask. Also don't forget to keep an eye on this thread if you see it pop to the top of the list as I will be updating with future results. If there is something in particular you want to see from this setup, just let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. Thanks for your time and have a great new year...my 2008 is off to a great start!
