OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 / 1600MHz / Gold Edition

OCZ's hand-tested DDR3 solutions enable ardent enthusiasts to take advantage of the highly-anticipated Intel P35 platform while experiencing the legendary quality and reliability of OCZ memory.

Initial OCZ DDR3 products will accommodate JEDEC specifications for third generation Double Data Rate memory. The OCZ PC3-12800 Gold Series is rated for 1600MHz and features standard CL8-8-8 timings.

OCZ Gold DDR3 modules are available in 1GB and 2GB modules and dual channel optimized kits. Each module is 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and compatibility with the latest Intel P35 motherboards and feature proprietary gold-mirrored XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders 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.

* Test specifications are based on dual core CPUs only. If quad core CPUs are used, higher bus thresholds and core arbitration may necessitate lowering the memory frequency below tested specs.

**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.
