OCZ DDR3 PC3-15000 / 1866MHz / Platinum Edition / Low Voltage / 4GB / Dual Channel

OCZ low-voltage DDR3 kits are designed specifically for the Intel® P55 Chipset and subsequent Intel® Core™ i7, i5, and i3 (Socket 1156) processors. Configured for dual channel mode, these ultra-compatible 4GB kits ensure optimal performance with an ideal combination of low power requirements at 1866MHz.

Developed for cost-conscious enthusiasts and gamers, these new OCZ modules were engineered with the same affordability and performance standards as the new Lynnfield platform. By using sophisticated IC screening methods and qualifying on a variety of motherboards, OCZ low-voltage kits are the perfect complement for the P55 Chipset and choice CPU to deliver the maximum stability. Together, P55 and OCZ memory are the premium option for the midrange desktops.

OCZ DDR3 PC3-15000 Platinum Low Voltage Dual Channel Kits are 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and feature propriety XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders for the most effective heat dissipation. Furthermore, each OCZ memory kit is backed by the industry-leading OCZ Lifetime Warranty and technical support for unparalleled peace of mind.

* 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’s dual channel low voltage memory was specifically developed for the Intel® CoreTM i7, i5, and i3 processors to provide unparalleled compatibility and performance when installed in one of these cutting-edge platforms. Qualified specs are for a single 4GB dual-channel kit, adding additional memory kits may not run at rated specifications.

"High clocks guaranteed, yet inexpensive This kit clocks even better than the previously tested 1600MHz kit."

Pure Overclock
"OCZ ran away with the competition in convincing fashion. In side-by-side comparisons at identical speeds and timings, the OCZ Platinum modules still performed better.The OCZ Platinums, however, had no such issues and offered a great deal of flexibility in both timings and speeds. These OCZ Platinum modules also offer a good bit of headroom when going beyond their 1866MHz rated speeds, these modules have sufficient gas left in the tank to reach some blistering numbers on your system. Running 2058 MHz is nothing to scoff at. OCZ has done a great job with these modules, showcasing sharp aesthetics, quality construction, and excellent performance. If you're looking to jump on the LGA1156 Core i5/i7 bandwagon and want some high performance memory modules that run fast and stable, these OCZ Platinum DDR3-1866 modules are a great option."

"As we come to expect from OCZ, their memory was like a spear. The standard speeds of 1866 MHz were soon put aside and speeds of more than 2 GHz were in reach. The final suicide-shot covered almost 2300 MHz! OCZ keep it simple with these modules. They cost a bit, but you get a lot in return. In terms of stability and maximum overclocking here, almost any PC booted fine. The OCZ memory was certainly high clocks with little effort and is also a bit cheaper than the HyperX memory."

"If you are needing a set of memory that allow some flexibility as well as solid performance, the OCZ 1866MHz Platinums will not let you down. Good price to performance ratio...flexible enough to be able to tighten up the memory while using a lower memory frequency."

“As for achieving the speeds, there wasn't a single issue. A bit of timings adjustment and no extra voltage saw the modules achieve a clock of 1935MHz DDR or a 69MHz DDR overclock from the stock speeds. What you're going to get is a 4GB kit at a reasonable price that does everything it's supposed to do, while at the same time offering a few more MHz in the event you want to go higher. This is a fantastic 4GB kit for your P55 setup. It's a nice offering from OCZ for people who want to get a kit that is going to offer some decent MHz off the bat while not breaking the bank. The PC3-15000 ultimately represents a good medium where you don't pay that 2000MHz+ premium, but you have some more speed to play with unlike 1333MHz or 1600MHz DDR kits.”

"In real-world performance, the overall score from the 1866 MHz kit was 5.6 per cent faster than that of the 1600 MHz kit, while the 2200 MHz kit was 4.3 per cent faster again. With real-world applications, the 1866 MHz kit provided a decent boost over the 1600 MHz kit. We saw similarly impressive results from the 1866 MHz kit in the single-threaded Everest benchmark, with performance between 13.2 and 16.7 per cent faster than the 1600 MHz kit."

"We were able to achieve 1600MHz at 7-6-6-24 timings with 1,65V, on 1866MHz, we even managed to have this kit run at CL8 instead of the specified CL9. Highest possible overclock was 2150MHz with 9-9-9-24 timings. That makes OCZ3P1866LV4GK one of the best overclockers we've tested."

"As for OCZ’s latest Platinum kit, it ups the official ante to 1,866MHz and 8-8-8 headline timings at a modest 1.65V. If that sounds impressive, in practice it’s even better. Saddled in Asus’ P7P55D Deluxe motherboard, and running courtesy of extended memory profiles, the nattily named 3P1866LV4GK kit settles on triple-seven timings and hums along happily at 1,866MHz. Even better, there’s space for stable running up to 2,133MHz. At that frequency, you’re looking at simply silly bandwidth. The only snag involves the Asus board’s predilection to run these DIMMs at 1.8V, rather undermining the low-voltage vibe."

"We opt for the 4GB OCZ Platinum DDR3-1866 CL9 low voltage kit, which in our benchmarks showed excellent performance. The choice of DDR3-1866 memory will not be a restriction for those who, through overclocking, will get the maximum performance out of his system."

Elite Bastards
"OCZ's PC3-15000 Platinum Low Voltage memory kit actually served our particular purposes here perfectly. With our Core i7 750 hitting a stable maximum overclock of 4GHz, the 1,866MHz clock speed supported with 9-9-9 timings advertised meshed nigh-on exactly, with a 1,900MHZ clock speed our eventual setting of choice which allowed us to use those optimal memory timings without a hitch. I suspect that had we had more CPU overclocking headroom to play with, we could have progressed further still in terms of clock speed with these memory modules before needing to consider loosening those timings. These modules do exactly what is promised of them without fuss or costing an arm and a leg, and to my mind that makes them a top-notch product for the price point that they occupy."
