The $1000 Memory; Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4-3400 Review Comment Thread

Reviews

That combo is amazing!:shok::thumb:

Man I keep reading about people ocing ram, but I haven't done any yet.

Once I get a little better at my cpu ocing that'll be next I guess.

So where would any bottleneck occur in that setup? Any HDDs other than SSDs I suppose?

The bottleneck may be the CPU since there aren't many that can keep up with the memory / motherboard.

Yeah, I was wondering about that as well, as was mentioned in the review but haven't a clue.

Those things would be something else on water!!! Cha-ching $$$:sad::blarg::whistle::biggrin:

Almost forgot, great review!:thumb:
 
"DDR4-34000 memory modules are not going to revolutionize your gaming experience, or significantly speed up your productivity programs, but in the hands of talented overclockers they are capable of breaking DDR4 frequency records and setting popular benchmarks ablaze. If you just dig the black and orange colour scheme, and have the funds to back it up, at least you can be confident in the knowledge that your money is going towards something that is actually worthy of the "Limited Edition" label.

DDR4-34000! That's blazing fast :P

Should be interesting getting an Orange Black themed setup for that, but what's with the red fan lights on

the coolers as mentioned instead of red. No big deal to change them from what I recall though.

A kick a combo 4 sure.

CPU will still out-perform this memory as current CPU are generally what 4 cores with somewhere around the 32Ghz combined data link speed (talking to memory) where said memory is topping at approx. same speed as the QPI link allows it PLUS effective latency effect 3200 class DDR4 "peak transfer" is 25.6GB/s, so maybe 1/3 slower actual speed then what the processor can use taking into account the latency, the memory simply will not outpace the available speed the cpu can use, cpu is the FASTEST part in a computer system as it is what does the actual "work" and everything even "spinning" at the same speed still relies on it so therefore introduces latency to the mix so the cpu generally is still "waiting" not being outpaced.

Granted A DDR4-3400 class speed is the current "cream of the crop" DDR4-4800 is max that will eventually see the light of day pushing the current fastest memory sub-system to the limit which would give a "peak speed" of 38.4GB/s where the fastest DMI/QPI/HT link set I can find is somewhere in the area of 51.2GB/s theoretical max for both Intel and AMD at this point, though I do not believe either uses this let alone about the only place this would truly see a "use" is in a professional balls to the wall environment.

So blazing fast, crazy expensive, and insane latency with great looks check "{
