So when will these sexy looking RAM be out?

*drools* They look GOOD!

 

I can't find anything about these Dominator Platinum ram xD

 

I only found out because of this: http://www.computerpoweruser.com/DigitalIssues/ComputerPowerUser/CP____1207__/offline/download.pdf

The ad says September 2012.

I'm already rolling all my pennies!:D::D::D:

 

Id give away my car, my wife, my dog ,boat...well, maybe not the dog... for a set of these! LOL

I love how before I posted this, there was nothing on the internet. Now there are a few articles on it. xD

Someone goofed! Up to 3000 MHz!!!

lol, I got the images from the Amazon product page. They have 1600MHz versions.

I don't believe that is a goof. If you read the memory article in that same issue they are testing different modules up to 2800mhz. So for Corsair to come out with 3000mhz modules wouldn't surprise me at all!

I meant CPU goofed for releasing the ad too early before any official statement from Corsair.

Haha, I think I was the first one to find out about this. xD

Just asking, on this chart a 16GB 2133Mhz kit is missing. Would it be ok to purchase two of the 8GB 2133Mhz kits? It would also be cheaper for us to buy one kit and wait and purchase another kit 3 to 6months later… Thanks peanutz94.

Mathew it would be no different than any other modules. You can try what you like but when you use two kits that were not tested with each other all bets are off. You may get them to run at the next lowest speed if your lucky. But there is just no way to tell if any two sets regardless of the part number /version number are going to work together. It's always best to purchase the amount you think you are going to end up with right away.

Ya know...Set it and forget it!

I am trying to do the best I can on this 2nd build. The 3770K is supposed to have increased memory bandwidth or something as a CPU, for higher RAM speeds and Asus says the M5E is approved at up to 3000Mhz. Not overclocking the processor, just hoping that 2133Mhz at 1.5v will keep the pc responsive and up to date for a few years. Is this new memory product different, do they all have to be tested as a 4 module kit? Makes it difficult to upgrade as your needs change when you must purchase more memory than you currently need just to get it to all function in unison.

All memory has to be tested, no exception. It's all due to the CPU's memory controller. Not a new 1st world issue :)

This video had me when the red droplights turned on, wow.

 

 

There is no 2133mhz 16GB 1.5 kit. Will running a 2400Mhz 16GB 1.65v kit produce much more internal heat within the chassis? Thanks Wired, thanks peanutz94.

 

There will be no kit with "2gb modules" (for SB or SB-E)?

or it is obligatory "4gb modules" to have "high frequency"

 

Thanks

What does Sandy Bridge have to do with 2 GB modules?

 

I'd guess that they chose to go with 4 GB modules and up is because if you're in the market for something like this, you're an enthusiast, and who would want "only" 2 GB modules? :)

Is there a special reason there isn't a 2133Mhz 16GB kit? I must be missing something important here.:o:

So peanutz94, which ones are you getting man? I would like to get into the 2400mhz if there was a substantial difference in pc responsiveness and the 1.65v didn't create more heat internally. I just don't know the answer.

 

All I have ever run so far is 1333, so I have no idea if increased memory speed means anything for day to day normal computer tasks, like office apps, if it doesn't then I will get a 1600 or 1866 kit. Anyone have an answer as to which pc functions benefit from these really high speeds, please let me this ignorant enthusiast in on it.

 

I'm gonna save up, wait a few months and purchase a 16GB kit all at once as recommended, I am just not sure which speed to choose.

2400 MHz won't help normal tasks. Stick with 1600 MHz.

 

Photo / audio / video editing, databases, video games, basically anything with a ton of data that needs to be pushed through quickly benefits from fast memory and top end SSDs.

So peanutz94, which ones are you getting man? I would like to get into the 2400mhz if there was a substantial difference in pc responsiveness and the 1.65v didn't create more heat internally.

Personally i would want a 2400mhz kit too! For my next build. I wont ever use it except for benchmarks. You wont see any real world performance gains above 1600mhz given current software/games just do not have the ability to take advantage of it yet.

 

Your better off with a higher CPU overclock if you are looking for a bigger boon for your money

 

And what Wired said!

Well um, do 1.65v kits produce much more heat into the chassis than 1.5v kits? Do they make the motherboard produce more heat as well just to drive them? Just asking, I know they are for heavy performance, and that’s cool, but if a lower mem speed and voltage necessary means less heat into the chassis and into your workspace, then a better choice for working enthusiasts. I just don’t know the answer.

Probaly a little. But it's not enough to be concerned about. My MB temps are right around 29-32c with 24gigs of 1.65v RAM. @ 1600mhz. And that is with my 4.5ghz OC. *shrugs*

Awesome peanutz94, I will go ahead and plan on the 16GB 2400Mhz kit for September, much more memory than I need right now, but will definitely use it over the next few years.
