Corsair Intros Low-Power Dominator GTX 8GB 2133MHz Memory Kit

Corsair, a manufacturer well renowned for its high-performance memory kits, has announced the introduction of a new Dominator GTX 8GB DDR3 dual-channel memory kit which is guaranteed to operate at speeds up to 2133MHz and CL9 timings with just 1.5V.

Corsair says that its new 2133MHz kits are the result of a painstaking multi-stage component screening process which is then followed by additional rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance.

Qualification is performed on Intel P67 and P55 motherboards using the company's custom test cycle and all of the kits must be able to work at 2133MHz frequencies with 9-11-10 timings and 1.5V.

Just as the rest of the Corsair's Dominator GTX DDR3 memory modules, the newly announced products also use a proprietary DHX+ heatsink.

This sports a custom design that cools both the front and the rear of the memory ICs as well as the PCB. In addition, the heatsink's cooling fins can be removed in order to allow the installation of the included AirFlow 2 GTL Cooling Fan.

"The unprecedented timing specification on the 1.5V Dominator GT kit makes it ideal for overclocking," said Giovanni Sena, director of Memory Products at Corsair.

"Dominator GT memory is designed for enthusiasts who are obsessed with pushing their PC's performance to the limit, and this latest kit is a worthy addition to the family," concluded the company's rep.

The Dominator GTX 2x4GB 2133MHz CL9 DDR3 memory is available for purchase from Corsair’s webstore and its recommended retail price has been set at $499 USD. As a result of the thorough screening process, the kit will be available in limited quantities.

Outside of Corsair, Apacer is the only company that we are aware of to built a dual-channel 8GB memory kit which works at 2133MHz with CL9-11-9 timings, while requiring only 1.5V.
