SPD Programming

If you run the Corsair DIMMs at lower frequencies, it will support quicker timings. The SPD is programmed with the JEDEC default settings of CL9-9-9-24 at DDR3-1333 (666 MHz), and CL8 and CL6 timings at up to 592 MHz and 444 MHz respectively.

The Airflow is an additional memory cooling device, which comes bundled with all Dominator DIMMs. It fits onto most motherboards and provides a stable airflow cooling for the memory modules using three fans.
