Hello everyone!
This weekend i can get a KILLER DEAL ! $200 bucks for a Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800 C12 (4x4GB) and i just cant let it pass away! But i wonder if it will work for my system.. I mean if everything matches.
I7 4770k 4 2, Sabertooh Z87, Corsair AX1200i.
I read in newegg people having lots of memtest errors and bluescreen and thats because their system cannot handle the tight timming those kits have. Im worried about the same thing.. Intel in their XMP memory support site and the motherboard support says both that the kit is listed as compatible. But i dont trust it since this kit runs at 1.65v with the xmp.. I was wondering also if i had to do some tricky overclock to get everything stable to match the ddr3 speed and get no crashes or issues.. can anyone assist with this ? Just cant let go that deal, their are brand new closed box. They scream BUY ME RIGHT NOW lol.. thanks for your help.
 
I bought them, installed the 4 sticks and everything works out of the box at the nominal xmp profile (2800c12) if anyone was wondering the same thing works like a charm on Haswell, with eve i couldnt boot past 2666.
 
I'm wondering what improvement you were hoping to gain from 2800MHz RAM? RAM speed is pretty irrelevant for most applications when using an Intel CPU. You can get 2x8GB of RAM for $120 or thereabouts, it just seems like a huge waste to pay $200 for 4x4GB.

It was a killer deal, couldnt let it pass, wanted to know if it works in my platform and with a little research i found out that haswell's IMC is very strong. They look great and they were cheap compared to the original price. Havent noticed any gain but im happy with my purchase, i recovered the 60% selling the old ones. It was a good deal i think
