OCC recently evaluated the 4GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz CAS 8 dual-channel DDR3 memory kit designed for use with the Intel Core i5 and Core i7 Lynnfield processors. Corsair also offers an 8GB version (CMD8GX3M4A1600C8) and today announced both sets of memory have achieved Intel XMP certification for the Core i7-870 and Core i7-860 CPUs. The Intel XMP profiles mean the memory is qualified and guaranteed to run at a frequency of 1600MHz with timings of 8-8-8-24 at a voltage of 1.65V through the use of the SPD settings.

"Corsair is very excited about the launch of the Core i7-870 and Core i7-860, and has been highly focused on developing the ideal memory solutions for this exciting new platform," said Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing at Corsair. "These 4GB and 8GB performance memory kits are the first of many XMP-certified memory kits that Corsair is producing for the new dual-channel Core i7 CPUs."

The 8GB solution features American Racing Blue fins while the 4GB memory kit is shipped with Dominator Black trim. Both sets feature Corsair DHX+ technology heat spreaders to cool both the front and rear of the memory ICs along with the printed circuit board itself. The fins on the heat sink are removable which enables more advanced cooling options to be used including extended heatsink fins, the Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H30 water-block and Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler.
