Corsair introduced the Dominator GTX, a new lineup of high-performance DDR3 memory modules with the companu's DHX+ heatsink and extra-tall cooling fins. The company claims these are the most tightly-screened, highest-quality and fastest DDR3 memory modules in the world.

The fastest module in the Dominator GTX lineup is clocked at 2250MHz and runs at 8-8-8-24 timings with a voltage of 1.65V. It only works on the Intel X58 and P55 chipsets though, and if you want to use more than one module you can only use the P55 platform. The full specifications of the Dominator GTX lineup can be found below.
Corsair Dominator GTX modules are individually screened and tested on multiple high-performance Intel X58 and P55 chipset platforms to ensure that they operate at the incredible frequency of 2250MHz at low-latency timings of 8-8-8-24 at 1.65V. They are designed specifically for performance enthusiasts and overclockers who want to achieve the highest performance possible and to break benchmark world records.

“Corsair has a long history of delivering the fastest overclocking memory on the planet, and our engineering expertise and unique understanding of the enthusiast market allows us to continue to push boundaries,” said Kevin Conley, VP of Engineering at Corsair. “Corsair Dominator GTX modules are the most tightly-screened, highest-quality and fastest DDR3 memory modules in the world, and we look forward to seeing what the enthusiast and overclocking community can do with these exciting new products.”

In addition to the incredible frequencies possible on Intel platforms, Dominator GTX modules have also been tested and verified to operate at up to 1800MHz CL6 in high-performance Socket AM3 motherboards for AMD Phenom™ II processors, providing AMD enthusiasts with a powerful new weapon in their overclocking arsenal. The following table shows baseline performance in a number of popular DDR3 platforms.
