Corsair claims world record for DDR3 frequency
MAKER OF memory products, Corsair, reckons it has crushed previous world records set for the highest achievable DDR3 frequency.
The company claims that its new world record, verified by CPU-Z is the highest achieved DDR3 frequency to date.
Using Corsair’s DOMINATOR DDR3 memory module with an Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard based on the Intel X48 chipset, Corsair Labs boasted that it had achieved speeds of 2462MHz at CL=9 with a single-rank 1GB module.
Martin Mueller, Corsair’s Senior Director of Engineering, excitedly spluttered that the new “world record demonstrates the overclocking and high speed memory expertise within Corsair Labs and definitely pushes the memory enthusiast community to achieve even faster, more outrageous speeds.”
The company’s DOMINATOR memory module is designed with high performing IC over-clocking capabilities, paired with Corsair’s DHX cooling system.
The DHX cooling technology consists of a quad-layer heat sink design, which purportedly betters memory performance by increasing thermal dissipation. This means that heat is channeled off into two paths; one along the leads of the Ball Grid Array (BGA) chips into the PCB (convective cooling) and the other at the back of the BGA packages into aluminum heat sinks (conductive cooling). µ

DDR3 is More Complexes & Future of Main computing. Why You Need to Double DDR2 Speed to Get DDR3 Better, I'm NOT Sure. Until DDR2 gets past 1,250 Mhz/s this is it already is. Even then OR Now...gibble,bibble, How Do Two Perform Head to Head.?

Seems DDR2 is Pushing up DDR3 speeds befoe latency questions are answered. Latency isn't that BIG of Deal except to Engineer. Its always 20 to 100 latency overall, with 40 to 80 so common, irregardless of few specific latency points.

Go DDR3, Go. Numbers Look Bigger, Are They? Its Complex business.

I think you have them the wrong way round - heatsinks cool via convection.
