The high-performance memory module (CMGTX1) has passed Intel’s XMP-ready certification. Its maker, Corsair, made the announcement last week, noting that the memory module surpassed all of the company’s other 2,000 MHz modules at the “blistering speed of 2,333 MHz,” making it the company’s fastest XMP-certified memory module.
According to Corsair, its Dominator GTX modules are designed specifically for enthusiasts and overclockers who want to achieve the highest performance possible, and to break benchmark world records.
“Building the fastest memory for extreme overclockers and enthusiasts requires considerable engineering expertise, combined with a unique understanding of the complexities of overclocking,” explains Corsair vice president of engineering Kevin Conley. “Intel is one of the most meticulous and sophisticated technology companies in the world. So, achieving XMP-Ready certification at the frequency of 2,333 MHz [is significant].”
Intel’s engineers awarded the XMP-Ready certification to 2 x 2GB Corsair CMGTX1 modules running at the frequency of 2,333 MHz using low timings of 9-11-9-27 at a voltage of just 1.65V. The test platform was a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard.
Corsair Dominator GTX1 modules are individually screened and tested on multiple Intel P55 chipset platforms. In addition to the XMP-Ready certification at a frequency of 2,333 MHz, they also operate at up to 2,400 MHz at timings of 9-11-9-27 at 1.65V.
Corsair Dominator GTX modules are available exclusively from Corsair’s Online Store.
