The average PC doesn't need Dominator GT memory. Neither do most above-average PCs, for that matter. But if you're assembling a dream system with the best components available — a truly amazing enthusiast-grade system for doing truly amazing things — Dominator GT is the right choice.
The manufacturing process starts with DRAM chips that are tightly screened against outrageous targets for speed and latency. The assembled memory modules are then screened again and undergo testing to ensure that they'll provide stability you can count on. You'll get great specs out of the box, with generous headroom for overclocking.
Dominator GT memory supports the Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) standard, and each module is individually factory-programmed with an XMP profile indicating supported timing, frequency and voltages. Just enable XMP on your compatible motherboard and you'll automatically get optimized memory overclocking without having to deal with multiple BIOS settings. Of course, if you're an experienced overclocker, or an aspiring one, you can adjust the settings to push for even higher performance.
State-of-the-art cooling is essential for high-performance memory. Our DHX+ technology uses specially designed heatsinks and a custom-designed PCB that cools the front and rear of the DRAM chips as well as the printed circuit board itself.
A modular heatsink design gives you the flexibility to change the color for a custom look, or to swap them out for the optional extended cooling fins.
There's a reason why world-champion overclockers, extreme gaming enthusiasts and high-end system builders all trust Corsair for high-performance memory that they can install with confidence and pride. Whether you're breaking your own records or you're simply building a dream gaming rig, you can count on Corsair memory.
Your performance investment is protected. All of our memory products are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
With a long history of building enthusiast-grade memory and components, we've earned a reputation for quality, compatibility, and performance. Need help? We're available by phone call, email or web forum.
Very few components make it into the Dominator family. Corsair performs rigorous testing and screening on all components to select only the best for Dominator memory modules. The tests check for high frequency and/or low latency capabilities for each IC. Then, they are thoroughly tested for maximum interoperability and reliability as a united group to meet the stringent design criteria demanded by performance computing and gaming users.
Heat is the enemy of your computer’s key components. And the more you tweak components for performance, the more heat is generated. Heat will slow down your system and impact long term reliability. With traditional memory, the standard method of chip packaging involves a BGA (Ball Grid Array). In a BGA, small balls of solder, organized as a grid, are the leads that connect the device to the module circuit board. A Micron Semiconductor study shows that in a BGA memory device as much as 50% of the heat generated by the chip is actually conducted into the circuit board. Since traditional heat sinks are only attached to the front surface of memory chips, there’s no easy thermal path for the heat coming from the back of the chips.
Corsair's engineers have developed a unique technology that maximizes heat dissipation while improving reliability, even in the most extremely overclocked memory module. Dual-Path Heat Exchange (DHX) technology utilizes two methods to effectively remove heat from the memory circuit board — Convection and Conduction.

The optional Airflow 2 fan unit contains two 60mm tachometer-controlled fans to provide impinging airflow to the memory subsystem. With the moderate RPMs required to provide adequate forced air, the Airflow fan is nearly silent. The fan easily clamps onto most motherboards.
Dominator is the industry’s performance and award leader. It has won numerous honors to date including various Editor’s Choice awards and several “Memory of the Year” honors.
