Corsair Ice T30 Memory Cooler Review

Is this aluminum or copper?

I can't believe I missed this article. Your test system is almost identical to my rig even my watercooling parts. These things are actually hard to come by but I didn't think the price tag was gonna be that high. I think the version I found didn't have the condensation monitor though so that may be why. Still I thought it was less then $100 but I could be wrong. Excellent point on the barbs by the way.

Bob- I think the corsair rep over at XS told me that they are nickel plated copper.

Weird you found this today. I was watching the PCper.com podcast yesterday and they were saying something about Corsairs Dominator memory that go with this degrading over time. Like it will eventually not be stable or sometimes even post at the speeds they got when new or are marketed at. PCper was the first to call out Intel on there SSDs degrading in performance over time so I could see them finding this. Still take it with a grain of salt though I suppose. It's in the podcast #65 if you wanted to hear what I'm talking about.

I hope thats not the case. I will be hot if that happens with my memory. I don't have the ridiculously expensive dominator GT memory but it's still the dominator series.

I think it was specifically the GT or whatever the highest end ones were. They discussed it when they were talking about there recommended builds and the super high end build. I'll review it again to double check later.

well you know the DDR3(OC) has heat sink tapping on both sides.. it already make the Memory Module too big..I say w/ th' extra cooling system...it is ugly..and take much space..get lots of dollors from your pocket....
