Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 Achieves DDR5-6600
CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced new kits of its acclaimed DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 high-performance memory, now boasting speeds up to a screaming-fast 6,600MT/s. At time of writing, these are the fastest DDR5 kits available to buy in the world, achieving remarkably tight timings of 32-39-39-76. Available in kits of 2x16 GB, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB continues to break frequency barriers with unprecedented speeds, and stay on the cutting-edge of performance.
The frequency ceiling for DDR5 performance has risen again on CORSAIR's flagship DRAM, joining high-frequency DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB offerings of DDR5-6000, DDR5-6200, and DDR5-6400. With 6,600 MHz, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB memory now clocks phenomenal speeds on systems leveraging 12th Generation Intel Core processors and Intel Z690 motherboard chipsets, such as the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F and ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO. With a speedy 32 CAS timing and tight 32-39-39-76 overall timings on these new modules, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB pushes the envelope of enthusiast DRAM performance.DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 shines with 12 brilliant individually addressable CAPELLIX LEDs per module, for brighter RGB illumination while consuming less power than conventional RGB LEDs. Patented DHX cooling design ensures your modules can achieve top speeds without overheating, even at 6,600 MHz frequencies. As with all CORSAIR memory, DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz modules are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
As DDR5 speed barriers continue to be shattered, look to CORSAIR and DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB as the frontrunners in DDR5 memory.
Availability and Warranty
CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore in strictly limited quantities. For up-to-date availability information, please refer to the CORSAIR website or contact your local CORSAIR sales or PR representative.
CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz Memory is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.
Compatibility and Performance
Specialist, high-specification motherboards such as the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F and ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO are required for DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 6,600 MHz to reach its stated frequency. Not all 12th Generation Intel Core Processors support DDR5 frequencies of 6,600 MHz. A top-binned Intel CORE i9-12900K is recommended to reach 6,600 MHz.

If cl32 for 6600 not bad at all
Yep but at least cl x 2 is getting lower than first two numbers of rated speed finally :clap:
Then you can get into how much it costs :cool:
RAM standards are always set quite low at the beginning of each generation.
I also feel like DDR5 is still a big miss, especially for games. If Raptor lake still works well with DDR4 and matches AMD Zen4/Raptor on DDR5 I don't see why anyone would go for the new standard. Can't even call it future proofing, because motherboards don't support higher clocks either.
When DDR5 speeds and latencies settle down and pricing comes down, I'll get a set of these dominators in white (6600+ sub 30 CAS). I'm looking forward to Zen 4 vs Raptor Lake / Meteor Lake. The next few years appear to be very exciting again, Intel was asleep in the quad core era with little competition, then AMD came back from the wilderness with Zen and Intel is starting to wake up in response... Now ARM (via Qualcomm) is coming as well. Feels like the 90s all over again with Pentium vs Athlon.
But yeah 6600 MT/s is like 25/75 chance it will work on 4-slot motherboards. Best to check the QVL lists and supported MBs.
So, DDR4 is still better by miles. I'm still waiting for proof that DDR5 out-performs DDR4 in anything other than a synthetic benchmark.
