There are dom plats that are dual channel too Chris 🙂

That's fantastic news, that's just what I was hoping to hear. The QVL, while good information for 8-16GB setups, was rather lacking in 32GB solutions, lol. I am sorry I missed the sticky though, still learning my way around, I appreciate you pointing that out to me and I'll be sure to give it a very thorough once over before ordering another kit 🙂 That 2133 flavor you were talking about dooooes sound good though, lol... although after flashing the BIOS this past weekend I've noticed a 2400 Flavored option there as well, I'll have to look into both of them!! 😄

Thank you both for the tips! I'll let you know what I decide on!! :cool:

Well to tell you the truth from my experience .. others have more and may have other ideas .. but
1866 seems to be a real sweet spot for amd's .. not that i have had issue with 2133.
As to the 2400 ?? no idea .. havent had the pleasure.

i run bios 506 with an 1100T and 1866 ... where i will stay until amd and ROG come out
with a new chipset and board respectively.

Thnx Myk.c.

I agree with you on that chrsplmr, but only for the Phenoms, I believe the Piledrivers are capable of running the 2133 without too many problems. Not too sure about the 2400?

Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4x4GB)
DDR3 2400 MHz (PC3-19200) 10-12-12-31
PN: CMD16GX3M4A2400C10

Looking at these and drooling a bit, really sweating at the palms to try that 2400Mhz option that popped up in the BIOS after this weekends flash, LOL. Can't hang a carrot like that in front of me... GAH!!! I did however drop my desire for 32GB to the 16GB kit... logic kicked in after the price tags slapped me in the face, lol... dropping to 16GB drops about $200 off the tag. I've yet to go above 10GB really unless I'm torture testing, and I don't really see my usage changing much in the next 3 years which is the time frame I usually try to forecast my needs for.

And unfortunately once the logic starts its hard to get the Genie back in the bottle...

Corsair DOMINATOR Platinum 16GB (4 x 4GB)
DDR3 DRAM 2133MHz (PC3 17000) 9-11-10-30
PN: CMD16GX3M4A2133C9


1333Mhz CL9 - 13.5ns latency (current)
2133Mhz CL9 - 8.43ns latency
2400Mhz CL10 - 8.33ns latency

Soooo definitely wanna get a new set for that extra 75% speed jump between the 1333 to the 2133, but I'm not entirely certain the 2400 is worth the extra $40-$50 for an additional tenth of a nanosecond... Sadly... it looks like logic is going to prevent me from testing that sweet new 2400 number that appeared in my BIOS, lol... could always overclock the 2133 to the 2400... heh.

Whatcha think? Any concerns I've not considered? Can someone think of a reason i want the 2400 that I can't think of? I mean aside from the fact that 2400Mhz would look nice in my signature, lol.

Formula i used for latency was "(CL/Mhz) * 2000 = latency (ns)"

Or... maybe I should get:
Corsair DOMINATOR Platinum Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)
DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz PC3 19200 C10 10-12-12-31
PN: CMD16GX3M2A2400C10

That way I can buy 2 more 3, 4 months from now for the 32gb ... *sigh* ... too many options, lol.
I've been looking at them too long and I'm just stuck in a loop, tomorrow I'm just gonna hit buy. 😉
....Tonight though... I sleep, lol. Extremely long night.

I am not even sure what gains you will notice with your purchase to be blunt. Size matters more in memory these days, and not frequency. Look if you are going 2400MHz then yeah some stuff will open two or three microseconds quicker.

Are you not able to OC your current ram to 1600Mhz?
