DOMINATOR - Ultra Xtreme Performance DDR2 Memory

The DOMINATOR family of DDR2 memory represents the ultimate in performance technology engineering from Corsair. The DOMINATOR was designed to have the highest performing IC modules, maximum over-clocking capability and efficient DHX cooling – all the while being stable and reliable.

Very few components make it into the DOMINATOR family. Corsair performs rigorous testing and screening on all component trays to select only the best for the DOMINATOR modules. The tests check for high frequency and/or low latency capabilities for each IC module. Then, they are thoroughly tested for maximum interoperability and reliability as a united group to meet the stringent design criteria demanded by performance computing and gaming users.

Heat is the enemy of your computer’s key components. And the more you tweak components for performance, the more heat is generated. Heat will slow down your system and impact long term reliability. With traditional DDR2 memory, the standard method of chip packaging involves a BGA (Ball Grid Array). In a BGA, small balls of solder, organized as a grid, are the leads that connect the device to the module circuit board. A Micron Semiconductor study shows that in a BGA memory device as much as 50% of the heat generated by the chip is actually conducted into the circuit board. Since traditional heat sinks are only attached to the front surface of memory chips, there’s no easy thermal path for the heat coming from the back of the chips.

Corsair’s engineers have developed a unique technology that maximizes heat dissipation while improving reliability, even in the most extremely overclocked DDR2 module. Dual-Path Heat Exchange (DHX) technology utilizes three methods to effectively remove heat from the memory circuit board:

• Optimized fins to maximize ambient airflow through the module array
• Extruded aluminium heat sinks to maximize convective heat dissipation
• Dedicated PCB heat sink

• 240pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs
• PC-9136, 1142 MHz memory speed
• Guaranteed compatibility with major motherboards
• Exacting design, qualification and testing
• Attention to customer satisfaction
