Corsair Dominator and Dominator GT memory modules using the DHX+ technology can utilize several different kinds of cooling and Corsair has now expanded the options with extra long fins. In the past it has launched both water blocks and Peltier cooling for its DHX+ modules but now it is a simpler version. Corsair’s Extended Cooling Fins is attached to the top of the module and will improve cooling over the standard heatspreader. The extended fins is available in black or red and the three fins in each package cost $25.

New Extended Cooling Fins give Corsair® DominatorTM Memory Aggressive New Look
– Upgraded cooling fins available for Dominator memory using DHX+ technology –
Fremont, CA. June 10th, 2009. Corsair®, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer memory, power supplies and flash memory products, including solid-state drives, today announced the launch of Corsair Extended Cooling Fins for triple-channel Dominator and Dominator GT memory kits using Corsair’s DHX+ technology.
Corsair memory modules using DHX+ (Dual-path Heat eXchange) technology – a patent-pending cooling approach that uniquely removes heat from both the memory ICs and print circuit board – feature removal cooling fins that allow for modular cooling accessories to be fitted. These include the recently-announced Hydro Series H30 water-block and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler, which are now joined by the extended cooling fins.
The extended cooling fins are engineered using high-grade aluminum that is extruded and machined, and have more than double the surface area of the standard Dominator and Dominator GT fins. In addition, the racing-inspired red Dominator GT fins are coated with a phase –change thermally conductive polymer that expels air pockets in the micropores of the heatsink surface, optimizing overall thermal resistance.
The extended fins are exclusively available from Corsair’s Online Store at https://shop.corsair.com/store , priced at $19.99 for the black fins and $24.99 for the racing-red GT fins. They are sold in packs of three, which include extended fan brackets to maintain compatibility with the Corsair Airflow and Airflow 2 memory coolers.

About DHX+ Technology
The Corsair Extended Cooling Fins are made possible thanks to the innovative new DHX+ heatsinks, which feature removable cooling hardware. 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 extended fins 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.
