I bought them on the egg, https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007611%20601396890%20601397864
 
I bought the non-RGB Black, they are sold out,.. but egg still has the black or silver RGB
 
I used the day saver shipping, received in two days. 

Thanks!  Guess I didn't look very hard.  Thanks for the link.
 
Silver RGB on order, should get here Monday.  

Thanks for the link.  I bought a set of EK Monarch heatspreaders to put on whatever kit OCs better on air.   Sounds like it may be worthwhile stripping the stock heatsinks to test both.  Eventually want to put them into the loop, but still looking for an EK X2 to include them in the loop.  Don't think they make the X2s anymore.

Will do rj,

Corsair Dominator 6200 kit Tech Specs shows PMIC Type: Extreme OC PMIC.
 

 
G.SKILL 6400 kit heatshields removed shows no thermal pads on PMIC.
 

 
G.SKILL 6400 kit HWiNFO64 memory info shows PMIC Type: Small PMIC (Low Current), Memory Controller Voltage Level: 1.10 V
 
 
 
There is not much OC headroom on the G.SKILL 6400 kit if you want to run tight timings and CR1 due to voltages needed for stability,.. temps during testing exceed 50c vary quickly without active cooling.
 
I'm not thrilled about G.SKILL using small low current PMIC with no thermal pads, with MC voltage level of 1.10 V,.. seems they could have done better.
 
I haven't received my Corsair Dominator 6200 kit yet, but from what I'm seeing the Corsair Dominator kits look vary well built, most likely will OC with lower temps vs the G.SKILL kits.    
 
 

Disappointed, I had a kit of Dominator 6200 in my cart yesterday but they disappeared when I tried to check out seconds later. 

Newegg has the Hynix Team Delta RGB modules which have a thermal pad on the PMIC now if anybody was up for spending a bit.

Thanks @Braegnok ....awesome....good read and glad I pulled the pin!...order direct from Corsair Canada
 
My Dom / Hynix 6200 kit is presently in Anchorage AK enroute from Taiwan :) Wont be able to test em til lI get home from work though....18 Feb....cant wait to see if they OC as well as there little brother Samsung 5600 kit !!

My Corsair 6200 sticks left Taiwan and then sat in Japan for 5 days.. finally they've started moving again - now in Alaska. I wonder if that was some sort of Covid-related quarantine thing.
 
 

Maybe just the routing....as my previous Corsair Doms 5600 kit same thing...Taiwan - Japan - Anchorage Alaska - then all the way to US Eastern (think Virginia) then back to Vancouver Canada.....too bad they couldnt go straight from Anchorage to Van ;) FEDEX was good though, they actually arrived at my house a few days earlier than tracker had stated!
 
I have a feeling we were smart to grab this kit when they were available....could be a good score and availability maybe tough...although I see them on Newegg Canada site are available at about the same price...maybe a tad more.

We should get some decent feedback from Braegnok....the GSkill kits are a bit cheaper for sure, but these could prove a winner....I've always had great performance and no disappointments....reliability w Dominators.

The difficulty finding DDR5 for near MSRP is a big reason I am holding off upgrading for a bit. It kind of seems like the best bang for the buck is to put the extra markup cost of DDR5 into a better DDR4 based build right now. Of course this is based on availability that can change rapidly. I would recommend seeing what you can find in stock before deciding the upgrade path that you will be happiest with.

You can stop waiting.. see post from a few hours back:
Available right now on Corsair.com 2x16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 6200MHz C36 (link)
..still available right now (booked, so very soon).
 
 

I have this kit running perfectly at XMP on my ASUS z690 APEX. GET it!!

Hey there mate, erm, how exactly did You manage to run 6200 MHz CL36 Corsair on Apex? I have 1003, I was running 6000 MHz CL36 G.Skill just fine, also 5600 MHz CL36 Corsair just fine, I tested the 6200 MHz CL36 with "auto" settings, passed 4x, now I'm trying to XMP I. and XMP II. but to no avail, I have tons of errors on both.

I'm running 12900K in socket. What BiOS/UEFi do You use?

Memory training is really inconsistent in gear 2 (same on rocket lake).  Do you sometimes get runs without problems?  I just got a kit of the 6400c32 gskill but besides running XMP II in ff14 bench just fine I've not done much with them.  Generally don't stress test the mem unless I'm building a daily system so can't really say anything about that unfortunately.

Hey there buddy!

Thank You kindly for Your fast reaction! :) If I may, on another note. I'm running the test on VDD and VDDQ 1.4, this is a little high for my liking though temps are fine and I'm on hammering test [last one and the most demanding one] in MemTest and so far so good, 6200 MHz, CL36 and no errors.

Do You think it's okay to have VDD and VDDQ till Shamino fixes the UEFi/BiOS, or should I revert to my old memory for the time being?


//update: had to revert from XMP II. it didn't work after restart, was throwing errors at me, now I'm on XMP I. and VDD and VDDQ on 1.425v, is it too much? Temps go up to 40°C at hottest part of the testing [Hammering].

I know that SK Hynix has limit at 1.4v that's why I ask.

I've had my Dominator 6200MHz CL36 23GB kit running for about 36 hours now. I'm running them in a Hero Z690 with BIOS 1003 using XMP I at default voltages - successfully completed 4 passes of MemTest, Time Spy stress test, Port Royal and hasn't shown any issues so far.

I need to run [now] at 1.425v both VDD and VDDQ to run them XMP I. stable :( [Apex/1003/1101]

That is good to hear! My Dom 5600 c36 w samsung worked fine out of the box.....really hoping same or better from this Dom 6200 c36 w Hynix ;)

great, did you match on xmp profile without problems and without having to change anything? If so it's great, some users who are running gskill 6400 on apex can't start xmp. Have you already made long passes on memtest5 to see if it gives errors?

I'm in a similar spot.  Have the Corsair 6200 installed and have the G.SKILL 6400 sitting in a bag.  System's been torn apart to address some issues with the GPU block, but should have it up and running soon.  Will be interesting to see what results you get between the two.  I think the winner will be put under water to see what the thermal benefits are.
