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.

I don't know what else to say :laugh:
www.gskill.com/news.php?index=257
Bam, same timings doin 2400 and prolly about 400 bucks less.
They got 2000s runnin 6's.
I like Corsair and all, but these Dominators are all Hype. The GTXs i mean. G.Skill has them beat in this department. Remember, i could care less about XMP.
If i was a betting man, i bet you could run the 2300s at the same timings at 2400mhz. That has these currently beat. Thats 8-11-8-28.
Its Corsair, Its Dominator DTXamillion, its spicey red and black heatsinks to match your just as exspensive Classified, i expect more than a company thats already released such a product with less R&D to jingle in their pocket.
Then the process of binning and hand picked started, theres where most of the cost based upon. I remember those 2x1gb Corsair PC6400 C3-3-3 $400 not long ago.
giving you can afford these sticks, then you have an i7 920 ATLEAST.
Just like Intel or AMD.
These arent the best, they are the second ones to release ram like this. G.Skill has 2400s out with the same timings just not XMP certified. Most that OC dont care about such silly nonsense.
