    Re: News - Corsair launches Dominator GTX: the world's fastest DDR3 memory module

    What impresses me is that they manage to achieve 2.2GHz at stock (1.65V) voltage. Most modules above 1800MHz I've seen, until recently, required 1.8 V.

    Re: News - Corsair launches Dominator GTX: the world's fastest DDR3 memory module

    Those new G.Skill ECO ones are 1600Mhz @ 1.35v aren't they. Is there a certain limit DDR3 can reach or maximum or... ?

    1.65V rated, but as long as you don't over juice it such that the CPU mem controller doesn't fry. Otherwise it's time for another chip.

    The graph says 1.35v

    Re: News - Corsair launches Dominator GTX: the world's fastest DDR3 memory module

    Thats the voltage at which they're rated at that speed. Not how I interpreted the question you asked:
    Is there a certain limit DDR3 can reach or maximum or... ?
    The highest rated voltage you'll see for any kit is 1.65V.

    My standard G.Skill DDR3 run at 1.62V, and are rated 1333 8-8-8-24 at 1.5V. I have BIOS options to push it to 1.8V, I'm sure there are boards that'll let you select 2V.

    But my BIOS lets me select 2.26v which means i can have faster ramz

    lies, your i7 would be molten

    in seriousness though, they will keep fabbing it at a smaller process, meaning less power useage and potentially higher clocks until the next big thing comes along ddr4 or whatever, then they will divert their attention to that instead.
