*HOT* | Corsair DOMINATOR GT | 6GB (3x2GB) | DDR3-2000 7-8-7-20 @ 1.65V | *HOT*

I think fugger did ~2360 32m with the samsungs.

I think so too, DDR3-2350 8-9-8 with 3x1GB Dominators 1866C8. I'm curious to see what he can pull off with 3x2GB 2000C7GT, though.

Those look a lot better than my GT's, I think, but I'm not certain. I've never been over 2260, but maybe I haven't tried hard enough.

Most 2000C7GTs should be very close - the kit I'm using in the video is from exactly the same batch that was sold in Corsair Store on the first day of availability. It's really the CPU and cooling that makes a lot of difference above DDR3-2200. I went through probably 10 x 965XE to find only 2 that are, let's say, decent...

So, when is the water cooling unit going to be released?

Within days another batch of 2000C7GT is to land in the Corsair Store, and waterblocks should make it at the same time as well. We should also have TECs available in the store within 2 weeks. Sorry for delays - we're making sure all is tip-top before we release it into the wild.

I appreciate your interest and patience... It's all almost here...

We have made a little Video about the TEC Cooling of the CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT's.



in our case the TEC Cooling gives us a gain of 15-20 MHz (on 7-8-7-20 1T 1,8V)



I can reach 1053MHz 7-8-7-20 1T @ 1,8V 32M Stable but more isn't possible

Good job, guys! Thanks! But I want to see more, more, gimme more

If loosening latencies to 8-8-8 does not gain you anything, then it's most likely not the DIMMs - Elpida Hyper's I/O circuitry allows for DDR3-2133+ at 1.65V VDIMM, but you will need to give core a break and run it at CL8. Issue is, to absolutely max it out, we need even better platform than X58, and Uncore capable of running routinely at up to 4.5-5GHz without massive voltage increases... But then next up in line is the memory bus, or more precisely layout of traces on memory bus, and BIOS - on X58 we see more cases of memory controller dropping channels at very high speeds after unsuccessful memory training routine when it can't align CMD/ADD/CTRL signals correctly across all the DRAMs, ranks and channels (e.g. dreaded "where's my 2GB gone?" issue), and even when each DIMM is capable of much higher speeds, and manually playing with RTL settings doesn't help anymore.
