OCZ DDR3-1600 2GB Platinum Enhanced Bandwidth Memory Kit

Introduction:

This is a very good time for computers and it's users alike. Memory and Processors have never been faster. Overclocking has been made simpler thanks to some very well programmed motherboard BIOS'. Originally, one would have to dive in to the motherboard's BIOS and become very, very familiar with the options or settings. There were no really easy quick steps to achieving that perfect overclock right off the start. These past couple years have given way to much more capable computers whether it be a DDR2 or DDR3 based system. And with motherboards changing chipsets so quickly supporting different memory types, it's extremely feasible for memory makers like OCZ Technology to produce modules to keep up.

When it comes to bringing new products to the market, it's often quite beneficial to be the first to offer a variety especially when you expect other manufacturers to follow suite. Computer memory is one of those products that just seems to never be fast enough and changes to keep up with the likes of AMD and INTEL. While memory modules aren't capable of matching processor frequencies, they can at least match and surpass the processor's Front Side Bus. And everyone knows that the faster the FSB is, the better processing performance you will get which is why so many enthusiasts love to overclock. Whether your motherboard's memory and processor are linked or unlinked, it's very necessary to have a very overclockable memory kit if you want the most out of your system.

The OCZ DDR3-1600 2GB Platinum Series Enhanced Bandwidth Memory Kit is one such kit intended to offer the DDR3 enthusiasts a low voltage option that can easily support memory frequencies past their stock 1066 or 1333MHz Front Side Bus processors. You've probably seen previous, very successful Platinum Series modules that turned heads and produced some of the best performance results. With DDR3 modules fast arriving in full production, it's once again necessary to raise the bar and draw the users who really want the best possible results. Let's see what the OCZ DDR3-1600MHz kit has to offer.

Specifications:

  • 1600MHz DDR3  
  • CL 7-6-6-20
    (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS) 
  • Available in 1GB and 2GB Modules
  • Unbuffered
  • Platinum Z3 XTC Heatspreader* 
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • 1.9Volts  
  • 240 Pin DIMM
  • Optimized for ASUS boards


Special Features:

  • 1.95V EVP**
  • Part Numbers

    1GB (1024MB) Module PN - OCZ3P16001G
    2GB (2048MB) Module PN - OCZ3P16002G
     
    2GB (2x1024MB) D/C Kit PN –
                OCZ3P1600EB2GK
    4GB (2x2048MB) D/C Kit PN –
                OCZ3P1600EB4GK 
          

* XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders optimize the thermal management of memory modules by promoting greater airflow by means of micro-convection throughout what is usually the dead air space inside conventional heatspreader designs. In this manner, build-up of heat is avoided and thermal dissipation of the memory components is offloaded more efficiently through the honeycomb design. At the same time, mechanical stability is maintained.

**OCZ EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) is a feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 1.95V without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty.

Description

OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 / 1600MHz / Platinum Edition / 1GB and 2GB Modules / Enhanced Bandwidth Edition

The PC3-12800 EB (Enhanced Bandwidth) Edition is built with ardent enthusiasts in mind, featuring the ideal balance of sheer DDR3 speed and enhanced timings. This memory is specially designed and optimized for the latest generation of ASUS motherboards. As one of OCZ’s legendary Enhanced Bandwidth (EB) editions, the DDR3-1600 Platinum EB increases effective memory bandwidth through the optimization of memory latencies between the system memory, the chipset, and memory controller. At 1600MHz, the PC2-12800 EB edition is rated for 7-6-6 timings on ASUS platforms.


OCZ Platinum DDR3-1600 modules will be available in 2x1024MB dual channel kits. OCZ has been working closely with the leading platform providers to ensure optimal performance and compatibility on all the next generation computing platforms that will be introduced later this year.

Each module is 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and compatibility and features a proprietary platinum-mirrored XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreader for the most effective heat dissipation. As part of OCZ’s line-up of premium memory, the DDR3 series is backed by a Lifetime Warranty and industry-leading technical support for unparalleled peace of mind.
