Member Reviews: CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 Desktop Memory

I got these specifically because it was the highest clocked 1.5v quad channel kit available that would fit under an NH-D14. Thanks to the removable top fins (red), these fit under my massive air cooler with plenty of clearance to spare. If you've got an x79 setup and plan to go with a large tower cooler this is the RAM you want. I've had no heat management issues whatsoever without the top fins even though 3 of the 4 sticks are physically under the heatsink (and thus get less airflow than they would normally). I attribute these excellent thermal characteristics mainly to the relatively low voltage, and I'm perfectly happy with the stock 2133mhz clock speed.

This kit is the fastest 1.5v RAM Corsair currently offer, tested for 2133MHz 9-11-9-27 2T @ a modest 1.5v. They can be ran at 1.65v which should allow some nice overclocking while remaining within Intel's voltage spec. Available in 2x4GB and 4x4GB, I am running 2 sticks of these from a 4x4GB pack on a P8Z77-V Deluxe BIOS version 1015. I was originally having trouble getting these stable at tested speed and voltage even with XMP until I went in to Digi+ and changed: DRAM Power Phase Control from Optimized to Extreme. DRAM Power Thermal Control from 110 to 120. Tweaktown managed 2133 9-10-9-26 1T @ 1.65v and although I disappointingly could not get tRAS down to 26 I managed to achieve...
