Corsair "Dominator" RAM series is the favored RAM for overclocking

As I recall, when I tore apart one of their DDR2 sticks, it's Intel
chips, with a useless aluminum heat sink attached mostly for
aesthetics.

Huh? I believe Intel stopped making DRAM back in the 80's.

Y'er right. I recall seeing Intel markings on the chips, but that was
a few months ago, I was in a hurry, etc. I may have been mistaken.
I'll see if I can find a Corsair DDR3 stick and look inside. Randomly
skimming through the Intel validated RAM lists, I couldn't find
Corsair:

Some Googling didn't find any references to the chip vendor(s) for
Corsair RAM. The apparently were using Elpida RAM:

but were having problems 2 years ago.
Oh-oh... perhaps old stock DDR3 RAM?
