Corsair Re-launches Dominator GT Ultra-Performance DRAM Modules
Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer memory, power supplies, and flash memory products including solid-state drives, today re-introduced the popular Dominator GT line of memory modules. These modules had been removed from the market due to unacceptable failure levels of the Elpida "Hyper" components with which the modules are constructed.

"The issue with the Hyper RAMs was discovered with the help of the enthusiast community, and we worked closely with them to solve it," stated John Beekley, VP of Applications Engineering at Corsair. "Our lab was able to correlate the failures to specific batches of early material, we worked very closely with Elpida to determine the root cause of the issue and to define the associated corrective actions to take. We are confident that every GT module using the Elpida Hyper IC Corsair ships from today will meet our strict quality and reliability standard."



The Dominator GT memory kits are being re-introduced with updated part numbers, and will be available within one to two weeks. All Dominator GT modules are black with red fins, and include the Airflow cooling fan. Module kits and specifications are as follows:

* 6GB kit for Intel Core i7: Part number CMG6GX3M3A2000C7, available directly from Corsair's web store at corsair.com. Matched set of three 2GB modules, DDR3, 2000MHz, 7-7-7-20 latency timings.
* 4GB kit for AMD Phenom II AM3: Part number CMG4GX3M2A1600C6, available directly from Corsair's web store at corsair.com. Matched pair of 2GB modules, DDR3, 1600MHz, 6-6-6-18 latency timings
* 6GB kit for Intel Core i7: Part number CMG6GX3M3A2000C8, available from authorized Corsair resellers and Corsair's web store at corsair.com. Matched set of three 2GB modules, DDR3, 2000MHz, 8-8-8-24 latency timings
* 6GB kit for Intel Core i7: Part number CMG6GX3M3A1866C7, available from authorized Corsair resellers and Corsair's web store at corsair.com. Matched set of three 2GB modules, DDR3, 1866MHz, 7-7-7-20 latency timings

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. DHX+ modules also utilize 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 degrees C below ambient temperature for maximum overclockability.
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.

The new Dominator GT modules will be available within one to two weeks from Corsair's authorized distributors, resellers worldwide and Corsair's web store at corsair.com, These modules are backed by Corsair's limited lifetime warranty. Complete customer support via telephone, email, forum and Tech Support Express is also available.

I see the top of the line is 7-7-7-20 now. I wonder if they came off any of that price yet?

Good news but no mention of the 3G sets. Are they not going to offer them anymore? Thankfully mine are still good at the moment.

that is what i am talking about. i honestly had a hunch this would drag out and Elpida Hyper would die off into obscurity but that clearly isn't the case, thank goodness. the best part is the 2000 kit's are now 7-7-7 instead of 7-8-7, nothing like making a come back with a bigger stick :D

7-7-7 i just wish they still dabbled in some good ddr2 modules.... i mean they gotddr2 running 1200 5-5-5-15 at 1.8V why not higher at 2.1?

Im guessing the IC's just wont scale with voltage

Nice broski, that is a good set of modules yah gots. Chuchnutterz has a set of those too. Cept he's bogged down with huntin 4 legged steel.

Lets see some 2D benches like SPI 1M 32M and some Pi-Fast ;)

that top will do 850 core dude... give it a shot...

lakeside2189
09-12-2009, 05:18 PM
I ran the clock at 832/960...Auto tune says 820/925 865/970..I ran that but started sparkin.. Why doesn't it show in GPU-Z what I am actually running....
as far as prime 32 I slowed a bit to 5.6 seconds...

Still I could never run over 1500ish ram at 4.5-4.6 before..I think the ram might be a keeper...This was some demo stuff...Lots of reps in this part of Fl....Really strange the way it came..OEM..I have gotten lots of ram but never in a OEM pack before..Cute lil fan too...
I will try 850.....I need my second card so I can get some of my points back....

5870's soon..Yes....

what version of gpuz were you runnin? and did you clock both cores?

lakeside2189
09-12-2009, 06:30 PM
version 0.3.4.................I used auto tune which set both cores top core at 820/925 and the second at 865/970....It was artifacting so i reduced to 812/960 and 832/960...

These are the 9.6 drivers..The top doesn't like the 9.7 and up..The CCC has a blink to it and the graphics are wacked....

Back on topic, I wanted to add that Corsair replaced my 3gb set of 2k cas 7 with a 6gb set of 2k cas7 free of charge. They have a loyal customer for life now.:clapping:
