Components maker Corsair is touting the use of its Dominator GT GTX6† DDR3 memory in setting two new world records this month.
The GTX6 DDR3 was used to set two world records for dual-channel memory frequency at CAS 7 and CAS 8. The record-setting frequencies of 3078.2 MHz, CL8-11-8-31, 1T, and 3059.4 MHz, CL7-11-8-31, 1T, were achieved by overclocker “Mat” (aka Matthias Zronek) from www.overclockers.at.
The hardware used included a Gigabyte P55A-UD7 motherboard, Intel Core i7-870 processor, and a pair of Corsair Dominator GT CMGTX6 modules. Corsair’s innovative modular DHX technology enabled a Besi Memory-Freezer to be directly attached to the memory heat sinks, achieving benchmarking temperatures as low as -90 degrees C using liquid nitrogen.
“I’ve worked with the Corsair Dominator GT memory for quite some time now,” says Zronek. “What surprised me the most is the potential of the Dominator GT GTX6. Even at 3000 MHz and higher frequencies, at CL7, there is still headroom for lots of optimization.”
Independent validation of the world records can be found at the CPU-Z validation database.
