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

[Jor3lBR]

Sorry 1.6v vtt DMM @ 4.2ghz seems awfully high and this kit won't budge higher than 1050mhz even with cpu at stock settings and relaxed timings. Looks like I may have gotten a FUBAR kit.

PULSAR are you using a i5 or i7?

[=[PULSAR]=]

PULSAR are you using a i5 or i7?

I have tried i7 920 and a Xeon W3520.

[Jor3lBR]

I have tried i7 920 and a Xeon W3520.

Strange they should fly with i7's but if you were using i5 it's normal.

Have you tried everything else (raising vdimm, pch, relaxing subtimings etc)?

I tried vdimm all the way up to 1.8v DMM and still wasn't able to get past 1050mhz. I am unfamiliar with pch, could you please inform me.

Hye guys, I'm planning on changing my sets of Ram. The only CL7 ram that is available at my country is CMG6GX3M3A1600C7 and Team Xtreme 6GB 2000MHz CL9 kit.

I need to ask several questions about this sets of ram CMG6GX3M3A1600C7 (7-7-7-20 @ 1.65v)

1)what's the difference between the new "CMG" kits compare to the old "TR" kits.

2)Heard that a lot of dominator GT faced premature death, but most of them are 2000MHz kits, so are this kits effected by the "premature death virus" also?

3)So far I googled, a small amount of people saying that this kits are not a better Overclocker compare to the old one, but nobody posted any proof for it so if anybody have this kits I need your help since it's a very expensive kit so I need to read as much of infos as I can to be really satisfied with it.

4)I'm interested with Team Xtreme 6GB 1600MHz CL7 kit but it's not available in my country for triple channel. Here's the question. Can i buy 2 of those Dual Channel and use only 3 of the sticks (keep or sell the other stick) + (I know it's dumb but it's way cheaper than the Dom GT kit). Is it possible to do something like that? Anybody tried this before?

5)Any extra advice regarding my ram issue.

6) My system is i7 920 D0 + DFI UT + HD4890 + TRUE 120 Push and pull~

Thanks in advance for all.

Question, do you guys use the fans that come with the kit? Is it necessary?

1)TR are the old sticks with the Hyper chips that die easily, CMG are the new sticks.

2)CMG sticks don't die that easy, just the TR's.

3)They don't overclock better, that was never the purpose of the new rev. they changed over to a better batch of Hyper chips.

4)Yes, this is possible.

5)The 1600C7 Dominator GT's are Elpida BBSE chips and won't overclock half as good as the modules you see here in this thread.

Question, do you guys use the fans that come with the kit? Is it necessary?

I'd recommend it, or another fan. The modules run quite hot here.

So, that concludes everything. I won't be choosing the new CMG kit.

It gets interesting when you are the only person here stated that it's possible to use 3 sticks from dual channel in triple channel board. It gives me hope buddy.

I'll do my own thorough research about this particular topic but isn't there anything else differs triple channel kit from dual channel within the same spec Ram kits? The voltage, Overclocking capability or etc.. Mind explain it to me please.

Thanks in advance and thanks for your previous reply.

[Zeus]

You can pick out any stick from a kit and use it in triple channel as long as it's the same type. Reversed is also true, you could use two sticks out of a triple channel kit to run in dual channel.

Matched pair is just a marketing gimmick. Matched in terms of what? Voltage? Timings? They're all the same sir.

Zeus is right on the money. You can use 2 sticks of a triple channel kit on a dual channel board. I've done it myself, and it actually allows you to pair up the 2 best sticks of the 3.

[madriddistas]

Nice info guys. Now it made me wonder why didn't 2 people share and buy those ram that didn't available in tripple channel. That's a huge number of people fall for the marketing gimmick.

Anyway, off topic I'm sharing with my friend to buy 3 kits of dual channel 2x2GB Team Xtreem 1600MHz CL7 to fit in our system. He's the same with me anyway.
I heard that Team is doing a great job lately with their kits for dual channel, so I say why not.


Thanks guys, I was planning on buying the "never will available GSkill Trident Cl6" kits and get tired of waiting and planned to buy Dominator GT kit but Zeus's post saved my money. Thanks again, I'll post the result when I got the ram.

I had to find that out the hard way, I wish I'd found this thread prior to wasting big $$$ on the 1600C7 GT kit

Sorry man.

The sticks will do nice frequencies but at rather lousy timings.

If you want tight timings get the Dominator GT 2000C8 or the 1600C6 kits, these contain Hyper chips.

You'll need to hurry though, Elpida Hyper chips are EOL.

I picked up a Patriot Viper II DDR3-2000 C8 kit from Frys locally, however those have the original J1108BASE MNH-E Hyper chips. I don't know if ALL the first Hyper chips die or just certain batches...

If they die just RMA them...they probably won't anyway.

*Resurrects thread*
What chip are the TR 1600C7D kits on? Same specs as the 1600GT (7-7-7-20) except they aren't the same (not CMG/CMT)
I'm really hoping for Elpida Hyper, but I doubt it.

[Erklat]

Corsair rep stated here Dominators GT 1600C6, 2000C7, 2000C8 being Hypers
and 1600C7 and 1866C9 are not. Not sure if I missed any, but 1600C7 are not Hypers, that I'm sure of.

Just clarifying, you're referring to the standard Dominators when you say mine aren't Hyper? Also, what are they if they aren't Hypers? Do they run fine @rated specs (haven't tried myself yet)

[Erklat]

Are there standard Dominators 1600C7? All I managed to see were 1600C9 crappy kits.

I was actually refering to Dominator GT. 1600C7 are not Hypers. Check the version number
on the sticks and consult IC inquiry list on Corsair's forum for details.

How do you mean if they run at rated specs? If they don't then they are RMA material

Yes Im referring to standard Doms, hence the TR at the front. Model is "Corsair TR3X6G1600C7D".

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=11884

Those ones.

Same timings/clock as the 1600 GT's, but I'm hoping not the same chip.

Rated specs meaning can run 7-7-7-20 @ 1600. RMA material? Not necessary. Some 2000MHz kits are harder to run @ rated specs, 2000 9-9-9-24 (or whatever it may be) due to the fact you have to up volts, but I guess thats what you get for getting high speed ram :P

Edit:
Btw there are 1600 GTs that run on the Hyper chip
"CMG6GX3M3A1600C7"

Some of those C7's are Hyper, some are not.

[h20xide]

Which? The TR or the GMCs?

How can I identify if my TR is hyper or not?

[websmile]

As said numerous times before-check the version number on the stickers- version 2 are Elpidas, and 2,1 is normally Hyper IC

TR C7 Ver2.2 here

[websmile]

Definitely Elpida, but no Hyper- could be BBSE, maybe something else- testing on high frequencies may require to raise TRCD(second clock value) one or two numbers above TCL- for example 7-9-7 or 9-10/11-9, good luck and much fun at testing
