It is really hard to get 4 sticks of RAM to high speeds as the memory controller gets overwhelmed quite soon by the OC. If you want high OCs buy 2x4 sticks. The more GB of RAM you got, the harder it gets to run it stable.
Great video man. So many vids beat around the bush and I feel like I didnt get the information needed. This video was everything I wanted to know, thanks!
i am getting 2933mhtz 15 15 15 32 out of my micron bdie ECC ram, on threadripper too so thats quad channel ( harder to OC) . I could prob push it to 3000-3200 but it would need more voltage micron b-die loves voltage. They are real 2666mhtz chips not the crappy 2400mhtz ones, they are soo hard to find , had to get several sticks from all over the world :P.
Trident Z Royals 4000 C17. Can do 3900 C16 @ 1.45 or 4100 C17 @ 1.45 but since I'm on intel I leave it at 4000 C17 for 1.35v. These Crosairs should be left at 3200 C14, since 3900 @ C19 is rather pointless and will run slower in most instances.
sometimes the xmp profile will raise the SA voltage too high. itll actually be more stable with less voltage. mine runs best with a bit less than 1.25. maybe 1.21-1.22. some of these kits will raise it higher than that along with IO voltage. mine gets less stable when you go over about 1.12 or so. most people recommend 1.15 and 1.25 for SA but those make mine unstable. less voltage actually gives more stability
Or maybe your Vcore isn't stable. Never saw that more voltage on system agent and IO made the overclocking capabilities worse. Try to give your CPU core a little more voltage, +20mV would do the trick.
I missed the XMP 2.0 profile info in the video. Can you let me know what the CL for those sticks you had is and what the pre-defined XMP profile MHz speed it had? Like, no other tweaking, what was the profile data/specs? I'm considering an upgrade to my RAM and want to see if a 3000mhz set of these Dominators will have a higher XMP OC profile than their "labeled" speed. Thank you and great video and great videos! Love the content.
This ram overclocks like shit and its not even guaranteed b-die. The temps are also around 5c worse than the average g.skill kit probably due to the rgb heating them up a bit
@@geoli6407 You are wrong. The higher frequency 4000 vs 3200 even at less tighter latency still performs better. Higher frequency actually helps with response time.

@@club4ghz With 2 DIMMs that's kinda doable with enough patience. 4 DIMMs is more challenging. Sometimes, to the extent of setting RTLs manually and even tweaking things like VPPDDR and VTT. Your third timings are really tight though.
If you're going to overclock RAM, you should only be populating 1 DIMM per channel. This reduces cross-talk, and allows for higher clocks due to less stress on the CPU's memory controller. This is why you see high end overclocking motherboards, like the EVGA X299 DARK and Z390 DARK, only have 1 DIMM slot per channel.
Your right , but it depends on the topology of the sockets. If the board is using daisy chain then yes 4 sticks will slow you down ( quite a bit) , if its using T topology you will get hardly any fall off form using 2 dims per channel, but ofc t topology will run 2 sticks slower than daisy chain. Super high frequency ram is kind of pointless IMO apart form the bling factor, you would be better getting a good set of Samsung 3200mhtz chips ( yes samsung do make genuine 3200mhz chips)on any old stick and just dropping the timings into the floor.
Holy crap prices have improved, I’ve just received (but not installed yet as I’m still at work) a 32GB (2x16GB) kit of dominator platinum RGB 3600MT CL14 for £215, when this was produced the 32GB 3600 CL18 kit was £355 and 32GB (4x8GB) 3600MT CL14 kit was £500!!!
If u want a game benchmark showing big performance differences from RAM overclocking alone, use Total-War Attila with the in-game benchmark. In my testing, I found up to 40% performance improvement from 100% more RAM speed (3200Mhz vs 1600Mhz, with otherwise same timings). Use 'Quality' or lower benchmark preset @ 1080p with a GTX1080 or better. This is especially great for tweaking higher frequency vs tighter timings to check which has the bigger performance impact. All Total-War games show a big influence of RAM speed for minimum frame rates in CPU/memory bound scenarios like when zooming in close on a big battle.
No The end game ram is them genuine 3200 mhtz Samsung bdie chips ( 90% of ram you see at that speed is an OC but samsung DO make genuine 3200 chips) on an ECC ram stick with a simple heat spreader on it like you get with most DDR3 server ram.
Memory overclocking feels like a dark art, CPU and GPU to the limit like 2 hours memory took me the better part of 2 days... I'm running Trident Z and love it. 6700K 4851Mhz 49 Degrees under prime load. Memory is running 3466Mhz cl 15,15,16,35 and that's already running a silly 1.15v into my memory controller. and most of the high clocking memory can handle 1.5v all day every day. as you notice most of the stupid 4.2Ghz+ kits run 1.5v out of the box but good luck finding a CPU to support that. Personally the best memory for top performance ATM is the 3600 CL 15 Trident Z for out of the box performance. Also be prepared to Clear CMOS a LOT during memory overclocking sessions, It requires a LOT of patience.
I've seen some people run 4266 CL17 2T 24x7 without problems with VDIMM at 1.45V, VCCIO/SA at around 1.22~1.25V. But beyond that, you are mostly down to the dual DIMM kits and lots of luck w.r.t the CPU's IMC. Have seen people do insane stuff on the Maximus Apex and Gene boards.
Do you need that Corsair cooler to run a 64gb 3600mhz (4x16) kit? I installed my kit and it keeps crashing my computer after a bit when playing FPS games while running at the 3600 mhz frequency. What's going on??? Great channel and content.
Tightening the timings at 3200 mhz is faster than raising the frequency to 4ghz at cas 19. Cas 13 or 12 at 3200 or 3400 with tight timings will provide much better performance. i'd stick to 1.385 volts or less
This is an older video but it's the MOBO and/or CPU. My CPU only allows at 3600 with 4 sticks or 4200 (OC) at 2 sticks. I've read the manual over and over again. Hopefully this will help some people. Please look at your MOBO and CPU specs before purchasing your RAM! Some people are agitated because they said, "I can't overclock it past..." It's because the other hardware components won't allow it.
hey bud, do you have a place like a forum where you chat with other people about their pc .i have a pc thats a few years old and not sure what to do with it.
Just bought the 32gb 3200mhz kit of this 2x16gb. It definitely runs cooler than the Gskill brands I tried also the Trident Z royal performs less than the Trident Z non royal brands.
Just received 2x8gb dominator platinum rgb(wanted silver one, but got rgb) 3600mhz 18-19-19-39..sold my old 1x16gb vengeance lpx 3200 16-18-18-36(bcz of single channel, 32gb is overkill) and add 50$ for dominator. Can't wait to come back from work and test it.
bought a kit of 32 gb Corsair's Dominator DDR4 4000Ghz white and it cost me about $500. Am I correct to assume the black ones are the exact same specs as to be able to combine them?. That is the look I'm going for my next build, black and white. Too bad there are no black light RGB's...right?
Got the cooler but settled on Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 Gb kit @3200Mhz C16 Quite heavy and the rgb is more diffused. Still a beast in my opinion. They overclock well and stay very cool compared to my previous Apacer Panther 🐆 gaming @2400 overclocked to 2666🤔
1. Can you compare performance vs original dominator platinum? 2. Do you have anything other than CL14? It's 50% more cost to go to those from CL16 3200. 3. Can you compare these to the G. Skill Trident z Royal? Thanks!
I've been waitng for these since I heard about them a couple of months back. As for comparisons, how do they compare to the original Corsair Dominators performance wise?
its not the board, when you put in 4 sticks, the controleer has to spread the load over the 2 lanes dedicated to the ram---> but with a jump for the 2 extra slots. so direct lanes are slot 2 and 4 --- when you put in 2 extra it goes to lane 2 jumps to slot 1 and lane 4 jumps to slot 3, putting extra stress on the controller ... so when max oc only put 2 sticks in with the max capacity ram you like. if you want max capacity or expandebility you can take 2 and buy 2 more after. 8 8 8 8 cheap of 16 16 max freqencie mhz ... real oc mobos only have 2 ram slots

Well, technically, it is not 4GHz but rather 4000 MT/s. The real DDR4 clock frequency is half of this. Also, did you validate your overclock with something like HCI Memtest, Karhu Ramtest or Google Stressapptest? The timings aren't great and are way too loose for B-die. Latency-wise, 4000 CL19 is worse than 3200 CL14. This is late but you still might want to run them at 1.45V VDIMM and see how far they go.
More dimms put more stress in the memory controller of the processor. That's why it's harder to reach higher frequencies with more dimms. That's also the reason why extreme overclockers often use a maximum of 2 (and preferably 1) dimm when they're working.
any luck with this ram on the high end x399 Threadripper? if it runs at least 3200 for a 4x16gb kit than it makes sense but you dont talk about compatible platforms, prob a lot wont work with this ram.
Do you need to have ICUE installed to control the dominator LED's??? (Asus M13hero motherboard) Dont really want to have to have Armory crate AND Icue both installed
like your videos But, 3600mhz@19 is straight garbage for that price. 4000mhz@19 is also garbage. just do a memory bench on AIDA 3200mhz tight timings vs 4000mhz CL19. You have to tight the timings manually otherwise you are paying for expensive LEDs.
You dont gauge ram performance with Aida64, that is literally the worst way to tell if ram is performing well. Geekbench 3 64bit multicore test is the best Ive found. I can throw together a wildly unstable 3800cl14 setup that will look great in Aida64 but will be pure shit in real world scenarios.
Hey just so you know, lower temperatures on the HEAT SPREADER does not necessarily mean the modules are running any cooler. To be honest all things being the same, lower heatspreader temps would generally mean less heat being removed from the DDR4 modules, although some aspects such as thermal capacity and total surface area could skew the results one way or the other. The only real way to test the temps would be through software monitoring or thermocouple between the chips and thermal pads.
This is what I get for pausing the video to leave a comment literally seconds before you show the software temps. Edit: you should put this up against some samsung b-die HyperX Predator RGB modules. I run 4x8GB OC to 4000mhzCL17 :) @@techyescity

Does Corsair iCue cooperate with other lighting software. Because running the aura sync based T-force Blitz software conflicts with my Gigabyte RGB fusion software for my Motherboard.
@Serial Thrilla I can just run RGB fusion but the Blitz software has more lighting effects. Problem is when I use the Blitz software one of my sticks of RAM stays dark while the rest run the effect that it's set to.
all everybody here is talking about is, that high timings on high mhz is worse than low timings on low mhz; that is not true if you had 3200@cl16 and 4000@cl20 the 4000mhz settings would still be faster, even though the mhz/cycle is 200 for both scenarios it has been proven countless times that higher mhz is always better so, even if the division results in a lower number, the real world number may still be larger

I shoud have watched this type of guides before getting my 4x8 4000Mhz. I can't pass 3733 with XMP. At least they are beautiful.
More dimms put more stress in the memory controller of the processor. That's why it's harder to reach higher frequencies with more dimms. That's also the reason why extreme overclockers often use a maximum of 2 (and preferably 1) dimm when they're working.
This looks an awful lot like Crucial Ballistic ram with the LED's
Surprised Crucial hasn't sued Corsair yet.
How could they? The LEDs are connected to the PCB differently and both have noticeable different looks.
Surprised corsair hasnt sued crucial trash yet*
any luck with this ram on the high end x399 Threadripper? if it runs at least 3200 for a 4x16gb kit than it makes sense but you dont talk about compatible platforms, prob a lot wont work with this ram.
Do you need to have ICUE installed to control the dominator LED's??? (Asus M13hero motherboard) Dont really want to have to have Armory crate AND Icue both installed
Yo Brian. Put them head to head with Viper RGB!
can these domniaotr give these sort of performance even on ryzen 5900x paired with x570 tomahawk ...?
Corsair Dominator ram come in 4800mhz kits but I cant seem to find any anywhere
Good video!!
hmm wonder how it would perform in quad channel and if the lighting effects work on older boards like X99.
like your videos
But, 3600mhz@19 is straight garbage for that price. 4000mhz@19 is also garbage. just do a memory bench on AIDA 3200mhz tight timings vs 4000mhz CL19.
You have to tight the timings manually otherwise you are paying for expensive LEDs.
3600 is due to memory layout limitations of the motherboard.
You dont gauge ram performance with Aida64, that is literally the worst way to tell if ram is performing well. Geekbench 3 64bit multicore test is the best Ive found. I can throw together a wildly unstable 3800cl14 setup that will look great in Aida64 but will be pure shit in real world scenarios.
Hey just so you know, lower temperatures on the HEAT SPREADER does not necessarily mean the modules are running any cooler. To be honest all things being the same, lower heatspreader temps would generally mean less heat being removed from the DDR4 modules, although some aspects such as thermal capacity and total surface area could skew the results one way or the other. The only real way to test the temps would be through software monitoring or thermocouple between the chips and thermal pads.
True, that's why I provide both readouts in the graph.
This is what I get for pausing the video to leave a comment literally seconds before you show the software temps.
Edit: you should put this up against some samsung b-die HyperX Predator RGB modules. I run 4x8GB OC to 4000mhzCL17 :) @@techyescity
@@kingmokey3334 No worries, I will definitely put together some of the hot stuff in a round robin, probably in the winter here though, as I live in a hotter climate and will spice everything up to get the best mobo and CPU combo in order too.
Why did you stop at 1.4V on the RAM? Push it up to 1.5V and tell us what you end up at. Please.
I liked the old platinum the one with the metal brushed top
I watch your channel purely for the potatoes.
Dominator vs Vengeance LPX ? YES please
But does the RGB show pure white?
Is Air-conditioning not a thing in Australia?
Corsair rgb goodness drools!!
Hey, im runnging this set at 4000 at 16 16 18 all day on my Skylake X X299 Dark. Your using the modules on a basic setup.
Pode me passar as configurações de overclock? Timings? Não passou aqui de 3600 em uma rog hero viii wifi com o 5900x. É possível obter mais? Obrigado
The original dom plat looked significantly better
Yeah this shit looks cheap and childish to me
RGB definitely ruined it.
Isn't tRFC important? 631 clocks seems quite high no?
I know this question has been answered a million times but I'm always in doubt : is 1.40v safe for overclocking DDR4 ?
Buildzoid has said some high end chips run at 1.45 even 1.5 now for the E die as I recall.
Do you know the dimensions of this DIMM? I am currently using the Corsair Vengeance LPX 32G but I am not sure if this DIMM is taller
hes pulling out the rgb yes this is where its going!
00:11 You "recently came into the H115i cooler" be careful some of those radiators have sharp copper fins!
what no sense' of humor here?
I hope they adopt that rgb effect to lower tier
Can't wait to see next-gen DDR5 heatspreaders tower over the Burj Khalifa
cl19 at 3900mhz is worse than your stock 3200mhz cl14 though
Why dont you have an AC? I live in Quebec where its COLDDDD in winter and its get hot in summer just like australia too, I install wall mount AC everyday, even in the winder, its cheap and last 10+years for sure, you can have one for like 2500$ installed with 15%taxes included
I only use it when it's really really hot (35 degree plus days).
@@techyescity you like it hot! :) i use it all summer :O, now its -20c right now on the other side of the world!
Corsair has been doing this since ddr2. They had the fastest
At what temperature does it become a problem for ram?
Does Corsair iCue cooperate with other lighting software. Because running the aura sync based T-force Blitz software conflicts with my Gigabyte RGB fusion software for my Motherboard.
@Serial Thrilla I can just run RGB fusion but the Blitz software has more lighting effects. Problem is when I use the Blitz software one of my sticks of RAM stays dark while the rest run the effect that it's set to.
all everybody here is talking about is, that high timings on high mhz is worse than low timings on low mhz; that is not true
if you had 3200@cl16 and 4000@cl20
the 4000mhz settings would still be faster, even though the mhz/cycle is 200 for both scenarios
it has been proven countless times that higher mhz is always better so, even if the division results in a lower number, the real world number may still be larger
How do you flip the dominator logo? Mine r upsidedown in the z390 dark.
It its save to OC from 3200mhz to 3600mhz?
I run my ram at 1.45volts is that too high? C16
I bought a 8gb kit at 3600MHz locally for $40 trying to see if I can buy another 8GB (2x4GB) please someone help :(
YesMan Banggood Yeston gpu reviews! Pls
I miss the Brian quotes over the montages.
Where can I properly learn to overclock this ram?
8:00 Nice to see that you tried Portugal's Flag colors too.
well, maybe not on purpose tho… just maybe… xD
I just found a 2x8gb kit of Dominator Platinum non-RGB 2400mhz for $50 cdn lol ... Picking that S**T up ASAP
Love me some Corsair Ram. I have a completely stable OC of 3400mhz on 32Gigs of c15 Vengeance LP, which honestly seems like theres still a bit of headroom. Great Vid !
can someone Pleeeeeeease give me the name of the song thats played on 6:37 ?????????
So ddr5?
got two sets of 2x4gb corair vengeance 4133mhz and runs 4 sticks at 4133 out of the box
YES
great vid
