Double the cooling surface area

Corsair's Dominator/Dominator GT line of high-performance memory feature some unique cooling options and come standard with removable cooling fins and the Corsair Airflow fan. The concept of removable fins might have been a bit puzzling to some at first, but once Corsair finally released more advanced cooling options in the form of its Hydro Series H30 water block and Ice Series T30 thermoelectric cooler the concept became a little clearer as the fins must be removed to mount the cooling blocks.

The fins are part of what Corsair calls DHX+, or dual-path heat exchange, that enable the heat spreaders to draw excess heat from both the memory ICs and the printed circuit boards. Corsair is now offering a set of extended cooling fins made from extruded and machined aluminum that offer twice the cooling surface of the original fins. So now you can upgrade your cooling while adding what Corsair says is "an aggressive, high-performance look".

The extended fins are being offered in sets of three and come in either black or racing-red colors. The black fins are available for $19.99, but if you shell out a few bucks more, the $24.99 red fins come with a "thermally conductive polymer that expels air pockets in the micropores of the heatsink surface, optimizing overall thermal resistance".  Okay, that alone is worth the extra five bucks.
