Corsair Launches Low Voltage 2133 MHz DDR3 DIMMs

[Hayder_Master]

we are talking about RAM not CPU.

thanx for tell me that

When you get a chance to actually run DDR3 over 2000mhz, you will see how wrong that post is.

Voltage does matter, and I have both a 3 sets of ram over 2000mhz. All of em feel the same in windows, I need a synthetic bench to actually see the difference. Heat is also starting to play a much bigger factor with the high speeds of todays DDR3.

On a side note, I havent had the balls to push past 1.85V on any of my DDR3, even there the memory gets plenty warm

actually it will kill the CPU these days, with the IMC being integrated

that's correct crappy INTEL i7 technology.

I have at work a CAD station that runs 16GB of DDR3 @ 2400 and 1.65V - everything at default so no o.c. And I actually made a test with mems at 2133 and I lost 30 sec to a 24MP render. So, yeah, it's a difference between 2133 and 2400.

P.s. I have exaggerated a little 2.0v for mems. I was referring to DDR2 which on 2.0v consume the same amount of power like a DDR3 at 1.65v for example...

you have knowledge about DDR2 , DDR3 is different and in fact we talked about i7 systems, intel set 1.65v for ram as max voltage, as Mussels explain the problem is the IMC being integrated, you can't go with 2.0v with mem and leave QPI at stock, or if u leave it on auto i think QPI will be rise up automatically over 1.45v, man i7 system is very complicated it's make sick sometimes.

Read again. Where did I say I will use 2.0v for DDR3???! Where?? I even said I'm using everything on stock.
All I want to say here was there is to much fuss about 1.5V over 1.65V for DDR3. The power consumption is only a little bigger; but I agree, a DDR3@2400@1.65V consume 20% more power than a DDR3@2133@1.5V. I don't thing is such a big deal anyways...the voltage thing I mean.
