Corsair memory kits have long been the choice of many enthusiasts and recent months have seen some rather niche developments in their high end memory line up, with TEC (Thermo Electric Cooling) devices and water cooled heat spreaders making an appearance, but what really matters is the performance. Today, we'll be looking at the Corsair Dominator GT CMG4GX3M2A2000C8 2000MHz 2x2GB CAS 8 Kit - The GTs are currently Corsair's top of the range dual channel kit and will run at 2000MHz with 8-8-8-24 timings at just 1.65v. Running at these kinds of speed will invariably produce extra heat, so Corsair provide the all new Airflow Fan to keep temps in check. As you can probably imagine, being an enthusiast kit, the GTs don't come cheap, with prices around the £160 mark, that's roughly twice the price of a standard Dominator 1600MHz 2x2GB CAS 8 kit, so what can the GTs offer that the standard Dominators can't? Read on to find out...
