Corsair Excites with New DHX+ and TEC Water Block for its Dominator DDR3 Memory Kits
After Corsair dropped off some of its latest Dominator 2 DDR3 memory kits for testing with the new Nehalem platform, various sites immediatelly acknowledged that there're some changes in the DHX coolers that cool the new memories. The new approach will be called DHX+ and it consists of a modified thick-sink design where an additional fins are bolted on the top of the cooler. Now HEXUS.net has unveiled that the DHX+ technology will also offer enthusiasts to futher cool the memory by attaching a water cooled TEC block on top. The block appears to be still in development, so we'll have to wait a little bit more until more information is available. The Pelt/waterblock combination should allow extra voltage to be pushed through appropriately selected RAM modules without killing them, potentially yielding higher clock rates and lower latencies.

Its a nice concept for your overclockers that overclock in competitions etc, but for your average enthusiast, surely a fan system is enough?
Perhaps it's to address something to do with DDR3?
Thats pointless and a waist of R&D money.
*Just a guess who knows*
Current RAM runs just fine at 2.5v on air as well.
