Corsair intros 2250MHz Dominator GTX DDR3 modules

Corsair is no stranger to the world of premium, high-performance DDR3 RAM. Their Dominator line has long been the memory of choice for many PC enthusiasts and gamers alike, and now they are looking to cement their position in this market with a new GTX variant capable of operating at a staggering 2,250MHz, with latencies of 8-8-8-24 and within the 1.65V threshold required by Core i5 and i7 systems.


The company achieved these numbers using a two-module configuration on an Intel P55 system. Going for a triple channel setup on an X58 system will involve stepping down the clock speed to 2,133MHz, which is still on par with some of the fastest modules in the market today. The Dominator GTX modules will also operate at up to 1800MHz with 6-6-6-18 latencies on Socket AM3 motherboards for AMD Phenom II processors.

They will feature a "unique DHX+ heatsink" with extra-tall cooling fins, and rather than being offered in kits, Corsair will sell these modules individually from its online store starting next week. The company made no mention of pricing, but of course you can expect them to come with a hefty premium.

    All I have to say is I Want! Thems some sweet looking sticks of RAM right there, and they are fast as tits. Combine these with a i9 pushing 5GHz, a pair of 5970s and some of those new SSDs in RAID posted a couple days ago and that would be the ultimate gaming rig.

    If you can give me a Core i9 processor I will happily buy you a few sets of this crazy Corsair memory

  2. Speed is amazing... but seriously whats the point? top M/Bs today

    don't support this speed so why pay extra for something you're not gonna use?

  3. So um... how many more fps will this get on Crysis? 1, maybe 2?

  4. Is it just me, or does that thing somehow remind of the Transformers movie...?

    Maybe...just maybe...it transforms into....

    UltraRamTron

    Which can banish pesky errors with its amazing ECC abilities!

  5. wow! thats just crazy I'm currently in the DDR2 world and I thought that was fast. This is o.o? :o impossible, lol I'd love to see those in action. Computer world just keeps getting better and better this is why I'm working in the IT field.

  6. Yea, it's a waste. They'll be the fastest for a few months and your wallet will be broken.

  7. Wouldn't DDR2 with lower latency times would be faster? For sure it would be much cheaper. Last time I read a review of ddr3 vs ddr2, ddr3 was slower and muuuuuuch more expensive. Have things changed much during the last few weeks?

  8. wow badass!! looking corsair sticks. i liitle overkill, but who cares not me give it a couple years and it will be normal.
