CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced new kits of its acclaimed DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 high-performance memory, now boasting speeds up to a screaming-fast 6,600MT/s. At time of writing, these are the fastest DDR5 kits available to buy in the world, achieving remarkably tight timings of 32-39-39-76. Available in kits of 2x16 GB, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB continues to break frequency barriers with unprecedented speeds, and stay on the cutting-edge of performance.

The frequency ceiling for DDR5 performance has risen again on CORSAIR's flagship DRAM, joining high-frequency DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB offerings of DDR5-6000, DDR5-6200, and DDR5-6400. With 6,600 MHz, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB memory now clocks phenomenal speeds on systems leveraging 12th Generation Intel Core processors and Intel Z690 motherboard chipsets, such as the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F and ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO. With a speedy 32 CAS timing and tight 32-39-39-76 overall timings on these new modules, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB pushes the envelope of enthusiast DRAM performance.



DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 shines with 12 brilliant individually addressable CAPELLIX LEDs per module, for brighter RGB illumination while consuming less power than conventional RGB LEDs. Patented DHX cooling design ensures your modules can achieve top speeds without overheating, even at 6,600 MHz frequencies. As with all CORSAIR memory, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz modules are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

As DDR5 speed barriers continue to be shattered, look to CORSAIR and DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB as the frontrunners in DDR5 memory.

Availability and Warranty
CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore in strictly limited quantities. For up-to-date availability information, please refer to the CORSAIR website or contact your local CORSAIR sales or PR representative.

CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz Memory is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Compatibility and Performance
Specialist, high-specification motherboards such as the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F and ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO are required for DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz to reach its stated frequency. Not all 12th Generation Intel Core Processors support DDR5 frequencies of 6,600 MHz. A top-binned Intel CORE i9-12900K is recommended to reach 6,600 MHz.

I wonder, if standard voltage is 1.1V, why does everybody feels like running their kits at 1.25V instead? If 1.25V was required, why didn't they standardize on that?

Not bad for DDR5, but CL32@6600 is the same latency as CL16@3300, which is nothing to write home about when it comes to DDR4.

Hi,
Yep but at least cl x 2 is getting lower than first two numbers of rated speed finally :clap:

Then you can get into how much it costs :cool:

1.1V is standard at lower frequencies and timings, if you push the RAM you need more voltage.
RAM standards are always set quite low at the beginning of each generation.


I also feel like DDR5 is still a big miss, especially for games. If Raptor lake still works well with DDR4 and matches AMD Zen4/Raptor on DDR5 I don't see why anyone would go for the new standard. Can't even call it future proofing, because motherboards don't support higher clocks either.

I have the Dominator series in white (3200 DDR4), I absolutely love them. I also currently have a pair of DDR5 G Skill Trident Z 32 GB 6000 CAS 36.

When DDR5 speeds and latencies settle down and pricing comes down, I'll get a set of these dominators in white (6600+ sub 30 CAS). I'm looking forward to Zen 4 vs Raptor Lake / Meteor Lake. The next few years appear to be very exciting again, Intel was asleep in the quad core era with little competition, then AMD came back from the wilderness with Zen and Intel is starting to wake up in response... Now ARM (via Qualcomm) is coming as well. Feels like the 90s all over again with Pentium vs Athlon.

IMCs and trace layouts are going to have to improve before these kits become usable.

1.4 V seems about right for 6600 CL32. I haven't had any real problems getting this sort of overclock on SK Hynix M-Die. For those who prefer to buy pre-binned, it isn't a bad choice.

But yeah 6600 MT/s is like 25/75 chance it will work on 4-slot motherboards. Best to check the QVL lists and supported MBs.

Because Z7xx boards are DDRR5 only, like AM5, you'll be stuck at Raptor Lake on Z6xx boards if you insist on not going DDR5 eventually. I have no problem with going DDR5 when supply, price and performance improve. I won't upgrade until then.

If we are talking about a value gaming system what's wrong with going with last gen chipset? I'm thinking B660 DDR4 with Raptor Lake non-K should be a pretty good deal. Of course if DDR5 drops to like ~1.5x DDR4 price then it's no longer worth it.

This costs 1 kidney or both?

So, DDR4 is still better by miles. I'm still waiting for proof that DDR5 out-performs DDR4 in anything other than a synthetic benchmark.
