Corsair®, the worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash
memory products, today announced the new Corsair Cooling™ range of advanced
cooling solutions for Dominator and Dominator GT modules, including the world’s
first sub-ambient cooler for PC memory.
The new cooling solutions include the Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30
water-block and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler, which is capable of
cooling memory to below room temperature for enhanced overclocking performance
and reliability.
“Corsair has always led the field with the development of advanced
cooling solutions for computer memory, such as the patent-pending DHX heatsink,
which uniquely cools the memory chips and PCB,” said Jim Carlton, VP of
Marketing for Corsair. “The Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30 and Ice Series T30
extend that technology and performance leadership, providing even higher levels
of cooling power, including the world’s first sub-ambient memory cooler for
enthusiasts and overclockers.”
The Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30 is a high performance anodized
aluminum water-block, capable of cooling up to six Dominator or Dominator GT
modules. The H30 water-block utilizes 3/8 inch inner-diameter tubing for
compatibility with the most common water-cooling setups.
At the top of the range is the Corsair Cooling Ice Series T30, which is a
revolutionary thermo-electric cooler capable of cooling memory up to 20°C below
ambient temperature. Combined with the H30 water-block, the T30 allows for
higher overclocking and greater memory performance and stability. In the Corsair
Lab, the T30 was found to increase memory frequency overclocking by as much as
100MHz compared to standard cooling.
Sub-ambient memory cooling has long been of interest to enthusiasts and
overclockers, but the problem of water condensation, which could cause damage to
system components, has previously prevented the technology from being deployed.
Corsair’s Ice Series T30 solves this problem by including a sophisticated
humidity sensor circuit, which monitors the humidity, ambient temperature and
memory temperature to prevent the DIMMs from being cooled below the ‘dew point’
at which condensation occurs.
This advanced cooling product allows gamers and enthusiasts to overclock
their memory further for additional performance gains, while retaining rock
solid stability.
The new Corsair Cooling solutions are compatible with Dominator and Dominator
GT modules using the DHX+ heatsink, which utilizes removable fins to allow for
modular cooling options to be fitted. They are available immediately from
Corsair’s Online Store at https://shop.corsair.com/store/
and are supported by a 1-year warranty. Complete customer support via telephone,
email, forum and Tech Support Express is also available.

About DHX+ Technology
The Corsair Cooling H30 and T30 solutions are made
possible thanks to the innovative new DHX+ heatsinks, which feature removable
cooling fins. These heatsinks are fitted to a unique, custom-designed PCB that
allows both the front and rear of the memory ICs, and the printed circuit board
itself, to be cooled. The T30 and H30 are attached to these heat sinks using an
optimized thermal interface material and a secure compression fit, resulting in
highly optimized thermal resistance between the heat source (the memory ICs) and
the cooling medium.
