OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum EB Edition *EOL

“This memory is outstanding for several reasons. It’s a mix of excellent design, efficient heatsink (XTC) and a solid overclocking potential. We started our test at 1600MHz CL 7-7-7 and got easily to 1920MHz at 1.95V. Some of you might be interesting in transfer to DDR3 platform –and we found out that OCZ is just your better choice – also our choice ”

“This is a very interesting kit of memory, for performances but above all for aesthetics. The performance of the memory is very good, meriting the technology Enhanced Bandwidth that increases the passing band, pulling the latencies and favoring the interaction between controller and memories. Overclocking performance provided excellent results and will provide great satisfaction to the end-user. For a price of around 150 euro, we can only conclude that this is excellent value for money."

“Good overclocking, design, warranty, OCZ EVP, price!”

"And being enormously popular among the HWI community, OCZ proves their pick in DDR3 range. The OCZ Platinum XTC received the most votes."

“OCZ is used to having a place on the podium, usually we expect the most out of the Reaper or Flex series but here, the Platinum kit did great by reaching the top position in our frequency test, especially on 7-7-7 and 8-8-8. If you take the reasonable price into consideration you have a great, efficient and high quality product. All together this is the model we recommend with the highest score of 4 stars.”

“The OCZ PC3 12800 Platinum Edition Enhanced Bandwidth kit is a dream come true for enthusiasts worldwide, as it will eliminate the system memory from being a performance bottleneck on today's cutting edge DDR3 platforms. Just in terms of raw speed, the amount of memory bandwidth that DDR3-1600 offers is amazing. Our best award to OCZ for performance, stability, cooling design and technical achievement."

"So what can you expect to get out of a 4 GB kit, which costs the same as some slightly faster 2GB kits on the market today? A good mix in overclockability and performance out of the box, which means some great value for your money. Being one of the most affordable such kits on the market today, also makes this kit a solid choice for moving from DDR2 to the new standard without breaking the bank. This is a very attractive price for such a large capacity kit, especially at CL7-6-6."

“The conclusion is simple: this memory kit from OCZ is simply outstanding! We clocked the memory to 1886MHz at 7-7-7, we managed to run tight timings on both high and low frequency settings, please note we didn’t manage to push these to the maximum due to limitations on our board. This Platinum 1600EB is first class, Overclockers can manage to push their boards and CPUs to the maximum and surely manage a benchmark record with this product. OCZ offers a wide range of DDR3 modules, the 1600EB is recommended for Overclockers, a great product at an affordable price point.”

"Even though OCZ has many other memory kits, the Platinum series has always been synonymous with both quality and performance. The OCZ 4GB DDR3-12800 Platinum Kit has a slight upper hand in memory intensive tasks, especially when using a 64 bit operating system such as Vista 64 than can fully utilize the additional memory. As far as value is concerned the OCZ 4GB Platinum kit gets the winning nod as it is priced very reasonably."

"The OCZ DDR3 Platinum EB is the only kit among the reviewed ones with tight timings of 7-6-6-24. The performance of this OCZ DDR3 is great, it reaches 975MHz in Cas 8. This review proved again that OCZ still delivers high quality memory. The results show that it's one of the best DDR3 kits we've tested. It's clear that this OCZ kit is group of leading DDR3 memory on the market. Especially with this price performance ratio it will be a great success."

"OCZ is quite literally the king of 'bang for the buck', and the OCZ Platinum PC3-12800 kit we covered today proved to be the perfect example. First and foremost, it's far less expensive than many of the other enthusiast offerings on the market. But inexpensive doesn't mean cheap, as the OCZ Platinum kit offered an outstanding blend of latencies and clockspeed. If ever there was a company that defines having your cake and eating it too, it's OCZ. We'd also like to point out that the OCZ Platinum kit was the first to allow serious overclocking with a 1T command rate."

"When faced with test results like the ones we have displayed, it hard not to be impressed with the quality and performance that comes by owning an OCZ memory kit. The outstanding wow factor and memory stability still remains. Ticking all the boxes any serious enthusiast would require as standard, OCZ have proved a switch to DDR3 is a very appealing prospect and well worth the investment."

"We have seen a lot of information here today and it is quite evident that the OCZ Platinum EB PC3-12800 kit is a very formidable pair of DDR3 sticks. With that said, this particular OCZ kit is a solid offering providing all kinds of overclocking headroom and very impressive clocking ability at looser timings. Even at the stock timings and frequency, this DDR3 kit goes head to head with a highly clocked kit of DDR2 and equals or outperforms it in everything we tested."

"Double sided heatsink contributes nicely and compliments OCZ's trademark RAM aesthetics and design, and during testing the RAM doesn't feel hot to touch even running at a 2.2V -- which is indeed quite high for DDR3 RAM. The OCZ Platinum PC3-12800 Enhanced Bandwidth Edition 2x1GB DDR3 RAM has great looks, offers excellent and consistent performance across the board, and are backed by OCZ's excellent warranty and support."

"After spending hundreds of hours testing ten different memory kits it's hard to ignore the overclocking performance I have seen on the 2GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Series Kit. For the best overclocking DDR3 kit I have seen yet, I give the OCZ PC3-12800 Platinum Series the Legit Reviews Editor's Choice Award! OCZ must have screened a ton of IC's to get these top notch Micron D9's that have been used in their OCZ PC3-12800 Platinum Series. These modules will bring fear to others as they blaze past MHz mile markers like nobody's business."

"You simply can't go wrong choosing the OCZ DDR3-1600 2GB Platinum Enhanced Bandwidth Dual Channel Memory Kit. Not only does the kit operate with better timings at slower frequencies, the kit very easily offers great timings at even faster frequencies. These modules operate flawlessly as well as remain relatively cooler than its DDR2 predecessors due to the design improvements and voltage requirements. You just can't dismiss the exemplary stability that this kit offers under the abuse of an enthusiast, which is why it definitely receives my recommendation."

"In typical OCZ fashion, the OCZ3P1600EB2GK memory kit strikes a nice balance between performance and price. The OCZ3P1600EB2GK kit represents what we think is the best value here, the kit offers solid rated performance, somewhat lower latencies, and a good amount of overclocking headroom. The OCZ3P1600EB2GK kit should be considered for your next build should it require DDR3."
