Follow UsHyderabad: Corsair announced the new Dominator GT line of DDR3 memory modules, designed specifically for AMD Phenom II processor-based platforms using socket AM3 motherboards.
The new 4GBÂ kit has been precision engineered to operate at a frequency of 1,600MHz with ultra low-latency timings of 6-6-6-18 and a command rate of 1T. These settings match socket AM3 AMD Phenom II processors, which feature integrated DDR3 memory controller.
"Corsair's Dominator line has long been the memory of choice for PC enthusiasts and gamers," said Jim Carlton, VP-Marketing, Corsair. "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," he added.
Testing in the Corsair Lab using an AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition processor and Asus Crosshair formula motherboard has shown average performance improvements of up to 20 percent when using the 1,600MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT memory, when compared to standard 1,333MHz DDR3 memory.
The 1,600MHz 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 allow for advanced 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.
In addition to the 1,600MHz 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 new modules compliment Corsair's currently available lineup of performance-matched twin-packs of Dominator and XMS DDR3 memory modules, which are also fully compatible with AM3 AMD Phenom II processor-based platforms.
