Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 Memory Hits 2533MHz, Sets World Record for DDR3 Frequency
Corsair, announced today that Corsair Labs has set the world record for DDR3 frequency on a Core i7 system. Corsair Labs achieved an astounding speed of DDR3-2533MHz with the aggressive memory timings of 7-8-7-20 using a triple-channel 6GB memory kit. This new world record, verified and validated by CPU-Z, the industry-standard tool for verifying overclocking results, is the first time this frequency has been achieved on a Core i7 system with 6GB of memory using three modules; most world record attempts use only a single 1GB module. Corsair Labs engineers used the award-winning Dominator GT 2000C7 memory with eVGA's X58 3X SLI Classified motherboard to shatter the world record for memory frequency. Validated results and setup details can be viewed here.
"When it comes to overclocking and memory, Corsair has proven-once again-that its engineering team truly is the best", said Kevin Conley, Vice President of Engineering for Corsair, "As the new world record shows, Corsair's modules are second-to-none in terms of performance, stability and quality."Corsair Labs selected the new EVGA X58 Classified motherboard for setting this new world record, along with a Corsair HX1000W power supply and the newly-announced Corsair Storage Solutions P256 SSD, creating a system truly designed for maximum performance.
"eVGA is thrilled to learn that Corsair was able to set a new world record memory frequency on our motherboard. Our goal was to create the best overclocking motherboard on the planet for Intel Core i7 processors and these results prove it," said Joe Darwin, Director of Technical Marketing at eVGA, "When paired with Corsair's ultra-high performance Dominator GT memory, we've not only met our goal, we've blown it away."
All Corsair Dominator GT modules are built using the patent-pending DHX+ (Dual-path Heat eXchange) heatsink, which uniquely cools both the front and back of the memory ICs, and the printed circuit board, for greater reliability and increased overclocking flexibility. All Dominator GT products also ship with the Corsair Airflow fan as standard, which maximizes airflow over the module's cooling fins, increasing heat dissipation to improve memory performance and reliability.
DHX+ modules feature removable heatsink fins, which allows for range of Dominator GT cooling options, including the Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30 waterblock and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler, which actively cools the modules up to 20°C below ambient temperature for maximum overclockability.

Ok, you better chech those sites here to end the discussion about DDR2 and DDR3:

@ TAViX
Those reviews really dont apply well as they are dual channel runs on DDR3 not tri channel. Also the Ram in the first link sucks and is CAS 9. The point you have is slightly skewed even with your own proof.
And besides, I was talking in the price/performance department only. ;)
EDIT: What are the defaults of those mems anyways??
look up a quote and i managed to improve my sciencemark and wprime scores using DDR3 and a lower clocked CPU vs DDR2 (DDR1680 cas6 and 3.8ghz cpu vs DDR1140 cas5 and 4ghz cpu) umm you have 14 posts here and with a post like that the number may stay that low while you enjoy a nice banner were your stars should be
???
No matter. Sorry if I offended anyone,
have a nice day!
Edit: Sorry again, I was overreacting, no need for warnings, we are all gentlemen here. :toast:
No, someone with 1 post can be more listened to then someone with 10k + posts... as long as it is done politely and with good arguments...
We hate bullying or flames, hence why we did not like the fact that you are saying someone is noob if he thinks something, when that something is completely viable, and you do not prove yourself beforehand etc...
btw, I am sry about calling you a noob (well saying you were not him...wtv) earlier, I got carried away...
btw, 3gb of ddr3 that do like 1600 cas 6~7 (OC) cost 50$ and 6gb 80$... for ddr2, it's 50$ for 4gb of ~1100 cas 5 (OC) and 100$ for 8gb... price is not much of a problem anymore!
Say you can run ddr2 1066 RAM at 1250 cas 6 2x channel... if you can have 3x channel 1600 cas 6 at a similar price... Higher speed, same cas more channels = better performing! o.O
EDIT: (sorry mods)
now if you would like that i can go find DDR600 cas1.5 BH5 that just destroys DDR800 cas5 in every benchmark out there. now to be back on topic this is a great feat one that was dont not only with an i7 and not p45 or X48 which means the cpu is very touchy about vdimm and probably is one of many that were killed trying to set the WR lol but it is also triple channel and not the single channel trick used on the older chipsets!
I say though, a good (for a normal gamer for ex) ddr3 RAM is 1600 cl8 or below usually...
