Corsair today announced a new set of memory, part of its Dominator GT family of memory modules, specifically targeted for AMD Phenom II socket AM3 systems. The 4GB (2 x 2GB) kit is clocked at 1600MHz with extremely low latency timings off 6-6-6-18 and a 1T command rate. Coupled with the integrated DDR3 memory controller found on the latest Phenom II processors, AMD has found performance gains of up to 20 percent compared to 1333MHz memory.

As part of the Dominator GT lineup, these modules also feature the DHX+ heatsink incorporating Corsair's dual-path heat exchange technology. This enables the heatsink to cool not only the ICs, but the PCB as well. With the signature red removable fins users have the option of air-cooling with the included fan as well as more advanced cooling using Corsair's Hydro or Ice series coolers.

Since all of the memory chips going in to the Dominator GT modules are hand selected by Corsair's engineers, the 1600MHz CAS 6 Dominator GT kit will only be available directly from Corsair where they're currently listed for USD $349.99. They're also tagged as "Not In Stock/Coming Soon" so you have time to start saving your pennies.
