Review: Corsair DOMINATOR DDR3-2,000 CL7 6GB
Posted on: 2009-02-18 14:37:14 Author: Tarinder Sandhu @ HEXUS The standard-bearer for Corsair's Core i7 line-up, DOMINATOR GT will only be available directly from Corsair, through its brand-new Performance Shop: an online portal for purchasing some of the company's flagship wares. Built using the aforementioned Elpida Hyper ICs, we're informed that the modules go through a rigorous screening, build, and testing process to ensure operation at 2GHz with 1.65V (or less). Knowing this, the reasoning behind releasing them directly makes implicit sense, as Corsair won't sell - or, indeed, be able to manufacture - enough modules to make it worthwhile for an eclectic range of retail partners to hold stock. Rather, focused wholly on the die-hard enthusiast or supremely well-heeled consumer who wants the best of everything, Corsair reckons it can provide better support for truly cutting-edge components, and we kind of agree. The point here is not to validate Corsair selling directly, but, logically and objectively, pointing out the need, if you will, of selling super-high-end, expensive components with the greatest support level in place. With a little background out of the way, let's take a peek at the modules. Read The Review Here |
