Dominator GT Equipped System Sets Dual 3DMark World Records
Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced that a PC equipped with its Dominator GT ultra-high performance DDR3 memory was used to set new world records with the 3DMark 11 and 3DMark Vantage benchmarks. Well-known overclockers Vince "K|ngp|n" Lucido and Illya "TiN" Tsemenko posted list-topping scores of P24347 in 3DMark 11 and P79364 in 3DMark Vantage.
The hardware used included an EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard, dual Intel Xeon X5690 CPUs, four custom-modified EVGA GeForce GTX 580 GPUs, and three 2GB Corsair Dominator GT GTX2 DDR3 memory modules. A total of seven Kingpin Cooling liquid nitrogen pots were used to cool the CPUs, GPUs, and the Intel 5520 chipset.
Full details are available on the Corsair blog, and on the Xtreme Systems forums (thread). More information about Corsair Dominator high-performance DDR3 memory can be found on the Corsair web site.

what this really means is that theres less overclockers, meaning less competition for the record
those record breaker should have ther own league so other people overclocking to actually get real life performance out of his hardware to get more performance per $$$ .....
but i was saying this and i was meaning that ANYONE can do this if he's got the CASH ... so that why we would need categories like there are the Olympic and the Olympic for disabled !
those guys always take top spot , but the score is like artificially boosted like a runner at the Olympic taking drugs to run faster! it last for 1 race and after that he doesn't really run that fast ever....
That's why i still have the respect for those who break records using just air cooling or water cooling at least. Both of them can be used long term and they are both accessable to everyone.
My Supertalent's (which are hypers) run 7-7-7-24 2k all day long at 1.65v and cost half what those GT's do. I dont see what the memory has to do with this either.
@beepbeep - not in vantage it isnt or any long Wprime/Spi. ;)
You are right that you cannot really compete if you don't have money or sponsors to buy the best hardware, but it is NOT THE ONLY THING you need! Of course there is a lot of knowledge and experience required which you cannot buy! Every piece of motherboard, CPU and GPU is a bit different and you have to fine tune it to get the best performance and you have to really understand what you are doing in order to squeeze maximum performance and not break it. But do I really need to tell you this here? :rolleyes:
and nitrogen cooled systems were never meant to be used for anything else then breaking records, because normal use of such system would be far too expensive IMHO...
