Corsair Launches Dominator GT Family for AMD Phenom II Processors

Low-Latency CAS 6 memory kit performs on AMD’s Socket AM3 platform.

Corsair, maker of high-performance computer and flash memory products, has announced its new Dominator GT line of “ultra-high performance” DDR3 memory modules. The Dominator GT line, according to Corsair, was designed specifically for AMD Phenom II processor-based platforms using Socket AM3 motherboards.Corsair 1600 MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT

The new 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) Dominator GT memory kit was engineered, Corsair says, “to operate at a frequency of 1600MHz with ultra low-latency timings of 6-6-6-18 and a Command Rate of 1T.” These settings match the latest, high-performance Socket AM3 AMD Phenom II processors, which feature an advanced, low-latency, integrated DDR3 memory controller.

“Corsair’s Dominator line has long been the memory of choice for PC enthusiasts and gamers,” says Jim Carlton, Corsair’s vice president of marketing. “The new Dominator GT family for platforms with AM3-based AMD Phenom II processors delivers even greater levels of performance, as well as enhanced cooling options, making it the perfect memory for anyone looking for the fastest possible performance from their AM3 AMD Phenom II processor-based system.”

Corsair reports that testing-done in the Corsair Lab using an AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition processor and Asus Crosshair formula motherboard, the company says–has shown average performance improvements of up to 20% when using the 1600 MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT memory, when compared to standard 1333 MHz DDR3 memory.

The 1600 MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT kit for AM3 platforms with AMD Phenom II processors also utilizes the new DHX heatsink, which cools both the memory ICs and PCB, and includes removable cooling fins that enable cooling devices to be fitted. These include the recently announced Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30 water-block and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric memory cooler, which can cool the modules up to 20∞ C below ambient temperature for extreme overclocking performance, the company states in a press release.

The 1600MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT also supports AMD’s Black Edition Memory Profiles (B.E.M.P), which Corsair says allows for the aggressive latency settings to be automatically configured in Windows using the AMD OverDrive software utility.

“We are thrilled to see Corsair offer the Dominator line exclusively for socket AM3 platforms featuring AMD Phenom II processors,” says Bob Grim, AMD’s senior manager of client product marketing. “And in supporting Black Edition Memory Profiles, Corsair can help take overclockers to the next level by utilizing intelligent, dynamic profiles rather than simple SPD parameters.”

In addition to the 1600 MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT, Corsair will be offering very limited quantities of hand-screened, hand-tuned, extreme performance modules in both lower speed grades and latencies. These modules compliment Corsair’s currently available lineup of performance-matched twin-packs of Dominator and XMS DDR3 memory modules, which are also compatible with AM3 AMD Phenom II processor-based platforms.

The 1600 MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT kit will be available only through the exclusive Corsair Online Store, which also stocks the full range of Corsair Cooling options for the Dominator GT family.
