Overclocking:

Timing Volts Stock MHz OC MHz Stable
4-4-3-15 1.80 802 832 Yes
4-4-3-15 2.10 802 888 Yes
5-5-5-15 2.10 802 984 Yes

    As you can see, with timings this tight it's difficult to get a high overclock using 4-4-3-15 but the benefits of tighter timings outweigh those of higher, less efficient timings.

Conclusion:

     The heatspreaders performed well and no excessive heat was noticed when the voltage and FSB were raised up. In addition to HPC setup, some additional cooling is achieved with the fan from the CPU heatsink fan. The overall design is sleek and the contrast of the matte black finish compliments the silver heatpipe and fins.

    Price verses performance has always been the number #1 question when buying anything in life. Well, OCZ has taken at least one thing off our minds by providing us with a performance-orientated product with a low price tag.

    The OCZ ReaperX PC2-6400 has timings of 4-4-3-15, which is comparable to the entry level DDR3 but without the major price tag and upgrade in hardware. The low latency and higher clock speeds is what it's all about. So, if you still have good hardware that runs all of today's games and applications, I suggest sticking with DDR2 and picking up a OCZ PC2-6400 800 MHz ReaperX HPC Enhanced Bandwidth 4GB Dual Channel Memory Kit. You won't be sorry. I would like to thank OCZ for sending this out for VH to review.
