Thread: Corsair Dominator DDR3 RAM

With the Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 modules (CMP12GX3M3A1600C9), we open a small set of tests for memory modules: With several different kit manufacturer, we want to take a look at the new chips that allow the memory modules with a capacity of 4 GB per module. The new used 2-Gbit ICs have a capacity of 256 MB per chip, are possible in accordance with eight chips per module side either 2 GB for single-sided modules or 4 GB for double-sided memory bars. The Corsair kit brings together three of the 4-GB modules to a 12-GB kit for socket-1336 processors.

In addition to Corsair, we will further modules from the other usual suspects (G. Skill, Super Talent, Kingston, etc.) present in the test. And 8-GB kit with two modules are on the list. If two of these kits that the manufacturers sell some extent in the pair, the first time a memory expansion to 24 GB of the Core i7-9xx and 16 GB for the Core i7-8xx models is possible. And as always, are available through the new ICs and other practices on timings and overclocking.

By most manufacturers, it is considered a little secret, which mark the ICs used are from. Many manufacturers are still not at the 2-Gbit IC races here, Micron, Hynix Elipda and there are already appropriate chips. How is the availability in high volumes with looks is not known to us at least Hynix seems to be able to export large quantities, the H5TQ2G83AFRchips are in mass production, Micron also turns on strong. With these chips, so most modules you will find, with most manufacturers Hynix H9C-variant-1333 CL9-9-9-rated DDR3 and use this internal testing for higher clock speeds and low timings are put through. The voltage of the chip is 1.5 V at this frequency is set at, thus helps increase the typical 1.65 V at higher clock speeds.
