Conclusion
Regarding the Dominator
GT PC3-17'000, DDR3-2133 CL9-10-27, Corsair really succeeded in putting together
absolute high-end modules which do have almost no competition. Also the
manufacturing quality and the looks of these modules has been able to convice.
If you decide to use the additional aircooler which they put into the box even
extreme overclocking will be no problem for these modules.
We can see from
our graphs that Corsairs Dominator GT DDR3-2133 CL9-10-9-27 modules don't only
make high clock frequencies possible they also allow you to set aggressive
timings. Therefore Corsair needs to select absolute high-end chips which mark
state-of-the-art-technology. In our case it didn't matter if we tested these
modules with CL9-10-9-27-2T or CL7-10-7-27-1T. Using both of these settings we
saw that 1'154 MHz were possbile using our testplatform. The only difference can
be found in the voltage one needs to give these modules. The low latency
settings demanded for 1.7 Volts and the higher latencies were possible with 1.55
Volt.
We generally recommend this memory kit to
PC-Enthusiasts as well as overclockers and extreme overclockers. At the moment
it is really difficult to find modules that perform better than these Dominator
GTs.
