    Not really related to the specific article but in googling corsair generally I found that corsair's website says:

    "Corsair = The best, Crucial = tacky".

    (It's written in the main page source code after the background tags. So it comes up when you google.)

    Is that an official corporate stance?

    Hey,

    I'm the Internet Marketing Manager at Corsair...

    The reason that shows up is because it's some of the only body text on that page. Almost everything else is in images.

    Also that's the title of a video we host on our site... a Hexus video in fact:

    Good to hear from you then. I don't disagree with the statement, I just thought it quite amusing it pops up in the google summary.

    Re: News - Corsair's extreme thermo-electric cooling solution hits retail

    Not wishing to rock the boat, but does ram really need this kind of excessive cooling?

    I'm a big fan of Corsair memory products (used them for years in all our customer rigs), and whilst
    the heatsinks are helpful (the ram does get warm) the more elaborate solutions seem to cause more problems than they solve. For example, the Dominator Fan that came with a kit recently fell off during transit, damaging things

    The 1600Mhz DDR3 stuff is supplied with standard (not even DHX) heatsinks, and seems to work OK.

    I guess this is all about pushing things as far as they can go, with DDR3 speeds beyond 2000...

    ...
    It all depends what you are doing with it, if you are going for records then yes, you would use it, (although i would have thought they'd have a custom jobbie)
    I think this is aimed more at the Uber enthusiast rather than your average Joe...
    i.e. the ones who use TEC and Peltier (SP?) coolers anyway...

    I thought this article was about a CPU cooler. I suppose every computer component could be cooler, if you're OCing it, but $200 to cool RAM?
