Corsair Readies 3GHz DDR3 Dominator Platinum Memory Modules.

Corsair Memory introduced its original Dominator-series of memory modules back in 2006 to coincide with the launch of Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad microprocessors. The Dominator modules quickly became popular for their high performance, reliability, overclockability and wide availability worldwide.  This summer, Corsair plans to revolutionize the memory market once again with the Dominator Platinum family of products.

Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 memory modules will use a new printed circuit board (PCB) with internal cooling planes/layers as well as external copper thermal pads that are specifically tailored to install specials DHX (dual-path heat exchange) aluminum fins that dissipate the heat absorbed by the PCB.
