Back at CES in January we got to see a demo of some new memory cooling technology Corsair was developing, which was keeping a set of the company's Dominator GT modules humming along nicely at 2000MHz with timings of 7-8-7-20. Now Corsair is launching the technology, with the Hydro Series H30 water-block and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler offering ways to keep temperatures down and improve overclocking performance. The Hydro Series H30 water block is an anodized aluminum affair which can be used to cool up to six Dominator or Dominator GT modules using the DHX+ heatsink (that comes with removable fins), and is compatible water cooling setups with 3/8 inch diameter tubing. If you want to take things a step further, you can combine the water block with the Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler, which is capable of cooling memory up to 20c below ambient temperature. It avoids the common problem of water condensation by employing a humidity sensor circuit to prevent modules being cooled below the dew point. Corsair claim frequency improvements of as much as 100MHz with the T30 when compared with standard cooling.
Of course, this kind of cool technology comes at a price, which is $59.99 for the H30 water block and $199.99 for the T30 thermo-electric cooler (which includes the water block). Both are available direct from Corsair's online shop and come with one year warranties.
