email to a friendIt was around about this time last year that Corsair managed to push a single module of DDR3 memory up to 2,462MHz. Back then, that stood as a world record, but what use is the overclocking ability of a single module?
Wanting to go one better, Corsair's engineers have now announced that they've set a new world record for DDR3 frequency on an system armed with Intel's soon-to-be-released Core i7 975 Extreme Edition processor. Using a tri-channel 6GB kit of its Dominator GT 2000C7 memory and an eVGA motherboard, the California-based outfit managed to hit 2,533MHz with latencies of 7-8-7-20.
That's pretty damn quick, and the proof, as they say, is in the pudding:
It's worth noting, of course, that the modules used will set you back somewhere in the region of £250 to £300. That's out of reach for many, but Corsair's message to die-hard enthusiasts is clear: "As the new world record shows, Corsair’s modules are second-to-none in terms of performance, stability and quality".

1: given that AM3 CPUs can take a chug more voltage than i7 how fast / tight would these run on that?!?
2: Core i7 9*7*5 EE? When's that being officially released and how much is it going to cost for an extra 133MHz on top of your 965EE?Quote

Not very, considering they have problems with 1333Mhz ddr3 at the moment on their new platform, and also 1.65V isn't the actual max, it is .5V within of CPU voltage, so they have probably used 1.8-1.9V which is the norm for DDR3.
Anyway, you would need around 3,500Mhz on AM3's dual channel to get anywhere close to triple channel at 2,500Mhz.
The 965 will be EOL'ed and replaced by the 975, which is also a D0, and overclocks much easier. Bet you cannot get any AMD chip prime stable with 4.2Ghz at 1.2Vcore. Someone has that at ocforums.com on their 920 D0.Quote

Where do you get this idea from?? In 90% of applications the tri channel over duel channel make bog all difference.
AMD just need to do more work on the AM3 Phenom memory controller.Quote
they need to start working on there existing product instead of making new ones:rockon2:
What do you mean by this? :O_o1:Quote
