Max Voltage for Dominator Platinum Special Edition RAM?

Brighttail
Level 11
I have a kit of Dominator Platinum Special Edition Blackout. It is the kit they made only 500 of. In the documentation it runs at 3200Mhz but says it has been binned for 3600Mhz. Getting it there is fairly simply, just add voltage from 1.35v to 1.45v.

I'm wondering if 1.50v is safe because I can run 4000Mhz and have it pass all memory tests I can throw at it. I'm just wondering if that is beyond the safe specifications of this type of RAM. I don't OC RAM often so I'm not sure about max voltage but I know that some current kits of RAM that can go to 4000Mhz runs at 1.5v stock.

I have pretty decent air flow but what temps should I be looking at as warning signs from the RAM?
Running Mem test on all but 4 GB I'm seeing stable temps at 38-40C.


Any thoughts? Thanks.

It is beyond spec so any advice is taken at your risk but I believe those are Samsung B-die chips and 1.5 doesn't hurt them, for daily use you may want to stay at or under your 1.45

Personally if it's for daily use I always back off clocks and voltages after bragging

I was thinking the same thing. 1.45v is what is needed to get it to 3600Mhz, but I figure if Corsair binned them at 3600, it should be able to handle it. That was part of the perks of getting one of the 500 produced was the special binned speed. 🙂 Thanks.

Im running my kit at 3800 and 1.35V, thats what its rated at.

So long as they arent running hot I dont see an issue. They have a diode on the chip but dont know any way to read it. Im sure its one of the 50 I see with no labels.

What CAS at 4000?
With B-Die, I saw a lot of kit @4000 C18 and 1.35 - 1.38v
Sorry for my english 😄

The default is 14,16,16, 36. I can obtain this at 3600Mhz. At 4000Mhz, I can get 16, 18,18,39 and the temps according to HWbot doesn't go higher than 40C under Memtester. They are quite awesome memory sticks. I may try later to tighten the timings, but honestly my computer wouldn't start up at 1.445v on them it had to be 1.45v.

1.45v for 4000 16-18-18 ?
1T ?

Here is G.SKILL F4-3200C14Q-32GTZ running 4000Mhz 16-17-16-41 1T @ 1.4v If wanting maximum potential range from the specified bin, then GSKILL is the best option. Anything else will likely fall short more often than not. Anything up to 1.5v is likely fine, there are no confirmed reports of degradation using these voltages.

Ok, I also have Platinum SE @ 3200 14-14-14-28 1T and 1.35v (on X99)
I expect to have the X299 to test, hoping to make 4000 18-18-18 1T at 1.35 - 1.38v (what G.Skill can do)
