2333MHz Corsair Dominator GTX Confirmed as World’s Fastest Intel XMP-certified Memory
Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced that the Dominator GTX1 ultra-high performance DDR3 memory module (CMGTX1) has passed Intel's XMP-Ready certification at the blistering speed of 2333MHz, surpassing Corsair's 2000MHz modules as the fastest XMP-certified memory in the world.
Corsair Dominator GTX modules are individually hand-screened and tested to ensure unmatched performance. They are designed specifically for enthusiasts and overclockers who want to achieve the highest performance possible, and to break benchmark world records.
Intel's engineers awarded the XMP-Ready certification to 2 x 2GB Corsair CMGTX1 modules running at the incredible frequency of 2333MHz using low timings of 9-11-9-27 at a voltage of just 1.65V. The test platform was a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard. The successful XMP certification is a testament to the performance capabilities as well as the stability of both the memory and the target platform.
"Building the fastest memory for extreme overclockers and enthusiasts requires considerable engineering expertise, combined with a unique understanding of the complexities of overclocking," said Kevin Conley, VP of Engineering at Corsair. "Intel is one of the most meticulous and sophisticated technology companies in the world, and so achieving XMP-Ready certification at the astonishing frequency of 2333MHz once again clearly demonstrates Corsair's performance leadership."
Corsair Dominator GTX1 modules are individually screened and tested on multiple high-performance Intel P55 chipset platforms. In addition to the XMP-Ready certification at a frequency of 2333MHz, they are guaranteed by Corsair to operate at up to 2400MHz at timings of 9-11-9-27 at 1.65V.
Corsair Dominator GTX modules are available exclusively from Corsair's Online Store. They utilize Corsair's patented DHX+ heatsink and are supplied with extra-tall cooling fins to maximize heat dissipation. They are sold as a single module, allowing enthusiasts to simply buy the number of modules they require. Corsair recommends using the GT Airflow fan with tall mounting brackets, also available from the Corsair Online Store (part number CMXAF2 GTL).
As Corsair Dominator GTX1 modules are screened by hand, in multiple passes, at Corsair's lab in Fremont, California, availability is extremely limited and is on a first come, first served basis only.

About DHX+ Technology
Corsair's patented DHX+ technology uses specially designed, high-quality heatsinks and a custom-designed PCB that allows both the front and rear of the memory ICs, as well as the printed circuit board itself, to be cooled. DHX+ technology also allows for the cooling fins to be removed, allowing for a range of modular cooling accessories including extended heatsink fins, the Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30 water cooling block and Corsair Cooling Ice Series T30 sub-ambient cooling subsystem, which cools the memory up to 20°C below room temperature for maximum overclocking performance. DHX and DHX+ designs are covered by US Patent number 7,606,034.

:D
"World’s Fastest Intel XMP-certified Memory"
its actually very specific :laugh:
The other ones were not XMP certified!
:laugh:
But the game must go on and gulftown and so on will be here soon.
It probably sells for $350 ea. stick of 2GB:eek:
XMP isn't just some piece of paper, it is a system where profiles are on the RAM stick's EPROM and the BIOS reads settings to apply to enable quick and reliable overclocking of RAM by selecting the profile you wish to use.
Which is quite different from all those certification that are only PR and ways to get money from companies for a meaningless piece of paper.
I'm not saying XMP is perfect though, and it's an intel thing so they (probably) do get benefits from it, but at least it has some technical aspects you know.
I'm sorry if I come across a bit snippy though, and I could have use quoted but I really meant to direct it at anybody that didn't inform himself a bit of what XMP is before making a statement about it.
And here I was thinking this is was jsut a label to make money.Thanks!
I had sticks that done 1600 @ 8/8/8/24 or 1800 @9/9/9/24
And it was as simple as choosing the profile.
FSB setting doesn't matter when it comes to XMP profiles they're pretty handy sometimes, however I tend to do things manually anyway :laugh:
After all IBM have done better then your rig, doesn't make yours suck XD
Also, G.Skills 2400 PIs are alot cheaper than any Dominator GTXs
Disregard WoW.
