Corsair Introduces Dominator GT DDR3 RAM Modules

Corsair has a good thing going with its high-performing Dominator line, so it's no shock to see the family staying alive in the form of the Dominator GT. Hailed as the fastest DDR3 memory modules for Intel Core i7 systems, these devices feature a new racing red color scheme and the next-generation of Corsair’s patent-pending Dual-path Heat eXchange (DHX) technology. In case you were wondering, the new Dominator GT comes in 3-up 6GB kit, running at 2,000MHz with latencies of 7-8-7.

As for the next-gen DHX tech, it includes a single-piece heat-sink and removable cooling fins, the latter of which enables multiple cooling options for the Dominator GT modules, including water cooling, as well as a custom-designed thermoelectric cooling system to actively cool the modules to as low as 20°C below ambient temperature for maximum overclockability. For the RAM collectors in attendance (do those even exist?), Corsair will be offering "very limited quantities of hand-screened, hand-tuned, extreme performance modules in both 3GB and 6GB kits," which are specially designed to enable "hardcore overclockers to push the limits of PC performance and are built with the fastest chips available." Said kits are listed as "coming soon" through Corsair's own web outlet and range from $299.99 (3 x 1GB) to $579.99 (3 x 2GB) in price.
