Removable Fins
Dominator and Dominator GT DDR3 memory modules are made using DHX-2 features, a
revision of our original DHX cooling technology. One of the primary improvements is the
use of removable cooling fins. The fins can be removed so that end users can easily add
custom cooling fins for aesthetic and cooling improvements as well as adding custom mem-
ory cooling solutions such as the H-30.

Removing the Cooling Fins
The cooling fins are attached using 3 screws. You will need a 3/32” hex key or allen wrench
to remove these screws.

Remove the 3 Screws
Use the hex key to turn the screws counter clockwise. Once all 3 screws are removed, the
cooling fin will come off.

Once the cooling fins are removed, the modules are ready for the installation of upgraded
cooling fins or custom cooling solutions. The grey material on the top of the heat sinks is
thermal interface material or TIM. This is a thermally conductive material used to facilitate
heat transfer from the heat sinks to the cooling fins. This material can be retained if needed
and reused with the replacement fins or cooling solution or it can be discarded if not
needed. You may want to retain it in the event that you need to reinstall the original cooling
fin.
