Corsair XMS TWINX 512MB PC4000 DDR500 Memory
A Closer Look
The TWINX512-4000 modules are, like most every other module in Corsair's XMS line, equipped with aluminum heat spreaders. The heat spreaders are attached to the memory very securely with some sort of thermal compound or adhesive. My attempts to remove them were in vain; I didn't want to take the chance of damaging the memory. However, numerous sources have found that the chips used are Hynix HY5DU56822BT-D43 (link is a PDF) modules which are meant to run at 200 MHz. Corsair, using more conservative timings as well as a voltage increase, managed to run the modules at a stable 250 MHz. Vigorous testing by Corsair ensures the stability of these modules and if you have the right equipment, you should have no problem running the memory at it's rated speed. However, due to the nature of the memory (being pre-overclocked and all), overclocking may turn out to be a disappointment. Let's not jump to conclusions though, the overclocking segment is next!
