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.

So, that's the story! Hit me up here, if you need an urge to ask a question
