FREMONT, California, May 20 /PRNewswire/ --

Corsair(R) http://www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high performance
computer and flash memory products, announced today that Corsair Labs has set
the world record for the highest achieved DDR3 frequency.

Verified and validated by CPU-Z, Corsair Labs achieved an astounding
speed of 2462MHz at CL=9 with a single-rank 1GB module. This new world record
eclipses all previous CPU-Z validated memory benchmarks. This record was set
using Corsair's award winning DOMINATOR DDR3 memory module paired with an
Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard based on the Intel X48 chipset. This is now the
highest achieved DDR3 frequency of all time. Validated results and setup
details can be found at http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=361829.

"Corsair is obsessed with pushing memory technology to its limits and
beyond," said Martin Mueller, Senior Director of Engineering, Corsair. "This
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 DOMINATOR family of memory represents the ultimate in performance
technology engineering from Corsair. DOMINATOR is designed with the highest
performing IC over-clocking capability and Corsair's patented DHX cooling.
DHX technology is an innovative quad-layer heat sink design that optimizes
memory performance and reliability by maximizing thermal dissipation. With
DHX Technology, heat is removed via two paths -- the leads of the BGA chips
into the PCB (convective cooling) and the back of the BGA packages into the
custom designed extruded aluminum heat sinks (conductive cooling). This
allows DOMINATOR modules to achieve outstanding overclocking performance
while remaining stable and reliable.

Corsair's award winning DOMINATOR memory is widely available from Corsair
retailers and etailers. Corsair memory products are backed by a lifetime
warranty. Complete customer support via telephone, email, forum and the
TSXpress helpdesk are also available. For more information, see
