In the middle of last month, Gskill raised the bar for ddr memory modules to 2500 megahertz with its Trident module. Now Corsair’s Dominator GTX4 takes over the leader’s jersey, with a clock frequency of 2,533 megahertz. The sharp single-swap modules are built from hand-selected memory chips and equipped with Corsair’s well-sized DHX+ heatsink. Corsair recommends supplementing the memory with the company’s Airflow 2 GTL cooler to keep it cool.
In the US, a pair of modules goes for $325, and the cooler costs $35, about $260, if you order it from the memory manufacturer’s webshop. But you can probably count on bigger performance gains if you spend the money on a faster processor or a faster graphics card.
