OCZ Technology, an innovator in high performance memory, makes cooling and enhancing your memory easier than ever. Expanding on OCZ's proprietary XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreader technology, the new XTC Rev 2 Cooler air-cools your modules, improving memory performance, stability, and longevity to allow enthusiasts to tweak their memory more freely due to superior active cooling.

Once installed over the memory subsystem, the XTC Cooler’s dual 60mm fans channel a steady flow of air creating a cooler environment and promoting stability. Though optimized for use with OCZ’s specialized XTC heatspreaders, the Rev. 2 is a beneficial cooling aid for all system memory, including those with larger, taller heatsinks. Thanks to superior active cooling, dual fan speeds, and easy installation, this second edition cooler is the ultimate overclocking companion for enthusiasts seeking superior performance, longevity, and reliability from their memory.

The XTC Cooler Rev 2 attaches to your motherboard's DIMM socket retention levers, making it compatible to use with all memory modules, including RAM with taller heatsinks thanks to the improved brackets. While the fans cool your system memory, glowing LED fans illuminate your memory subsystem.

* 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 has quite the reputation for coming up with cutting edge technology that is both functional and stylish. OCZ has always brought nifty gadgetry to the masses. No doubt that the cooler does its job, and makes it a valuable tool to the serious overclocker. I have to say OCZ did overclockers a favor when revising their classic ramcooler design. With added function: speed selector switch, form: taller mounting, and looks: black brushed aluminum, this revision brings the old design up to speed. Seeing a significant temperature drop makes me sleep better at night, and this cooler is welcome in my case anytime."

"OCZ XTC2 is a well-designed cooler made of high quality aluminum. The embedded fans have 2 speed levels controlled by a switch. User can either choose performance (high speed) or quietness (low speed). The design of XTC2 is well-thought-out with dimensions good for all kind of memory kits. Any fancy heatsink will fit under XTC2 without any problems."

"RAM modules reach relatively high temperatures, especially in the summer, so whoever wants to do something good for their PC, therefore, could do a lot worse than buy the OCZ XTC RAM cooler in the revision 2. The cooler is mainly directed to the modder (because of the blue light) or enthusiasts who want to squeeze the last few MHz out of their memory. An investment well worth taking, with a sale price of € 16.50, which is quite fair."

"The new revision of the OCZ XTC Memory Cooler proves very efficient and certainly better than the first version, which still remains a good product. Aesthetically, the new aluminum body used gives this cooler a certain elegance to the two vents with LED. The ability to install the XTC Rev.2 with large heat sink memory is important and completed without problems. From the graph we can see marked improvement with the transition from Low to High that we believe will be even more pronounced on forms provided with a heatsink. We can only recommend this excellent product."

Orthy (Germany)
"The XTC Rev2 OCZ RAM cooler is a good one: the quality of the workmanship is convincing, the assembly is cleverly designed, the cooling power is OK and the lens completes the picture. The brushed aluminum surface gives an elegant impression and the clips are very stable - OCZ has put a lot of love into detail here. Even in the “Low” – mode, the XTC2 still improves the temperature by 7 degrees - a good result. For all owners of glowing RAMs and for those who want even more blue LEDs in their system, the XTC is really worth the purchase. The XTC Rev2 OCZ RAM cooler has truly earned the Orthy.de 'silver test'."

"In our conclusion, we found no downside. For positives, the cooler has excellent performance and we are delighted with 6° C gain in low and almost 11° in high use. Silence is provided with this cooler outside the casing, with almost no noise when in a housing. If the value is what you really want, for 20€ you will have the performance, silence and the "Tuning" look with the blue LEDs arranged on the two fans. The installation is a breeze. I recommend this product to enthusiasts for the performance and those looking for a bargain."

"The load temperature with no fan rose quite quickly to 38c but as the results show the XTC Rev2 does a great job of knocking 10c off that figure, in fact it took 2c off the idle temperature recorded with no fan when fully loaded with Linx. In respect of noise at the low setting the XTC Rev2 is barely audible and shouldn't offer any disappointment to those with fans already in their case despite being only 60mm. The high fan setting was also pretty good knocking a further 2c off the already excellent 28c we saw initially. I have no hesitation in offering this item five stars, it looks great, cools superbly and is barely audible."

"After taking the results, I was quite impressed. The OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2 clearly provides great cooling for your rams. Even on the low fan speed setting, the XTC Cooler Rev 2 halves the RAMs delta temperature at load. The extra cooling would be particularly useful should you wish to overclock your RAM by upping the voltage, however, some people may choose to buy this product purely to lengthen the lifespan of their RAM--not a bad idea if you’ve just invested in an expensive system (or wish to keep an old system going)."

"The OCZ XTC Cooler Rev. 2 does really well in our review. It seems like OCZ took good care of improving the first revision. The black style seems to be a tribute to casemodders. Good performance, low price of just about €15 and good looking. The slightly complicated setup ensures that the cooler fits perfectly. The OCZ XTC Cooler Rev. 2 is something that casemodders and watercooling users want."

OverClocked Inside (Germany)
"The OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2 is a useful RAM cooler for overclockers and case modders. The temperature can be reduced and help cut the memory modules without a heat spreader as much as 10 degrees and the memory modules with heat spreader up to 7 degrees. All in all, the OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2 is a useful extension for relatively little money. It is well made and is, at least for overclockers and case modders, certainly a recommendable product."

Traficantes de Hardware (Spain)
"The XTC2 for OCZ proved an effective ally in terms of heat dissipation. We thought it would be an addition to the noise of the PC, but this has not happened. In addition, blue LED fans and a black metal frame gives it a great design. Thanks to the holding system, the XTC2 cooler has proved extremely robust. Considering all this and that the cooler both provides excellent cooling to high-performance memory and is one of the cheapest on the market with these features, we give 5 stars."
