OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800/ 1600MHz / AMD Black Edition / AOD Ready / CAS 8 / 4GB Dual Channel

OCZ’s AMD Black Edition is tested and qualified specifically for AMD’s latest “Black Edition” CPUs for ultimate performance and stability. Featuring the unique AMD “OverDrive™” (AOD) specification, users can unleash the remote stored profiles directly from AMD when used with supporting 790FX / 790GX motherboards, giving users a performance edge with instant “plug and play” functionality. This highly advanced feature detects your OCZ Black Edition RAM when used in conjunction with AOD-supporting motherboards and AMD Black Edition Phenom CPUs, then the data is sent to a remote server to download the correct profiles to get your system up and running at its peak.

These high performance modules feature both the high densities and blazing frequencies enthusiasts and gamers demand to make the most of the latest PC titles and applications. Delivering plug and play overclocking the “AOD” feature does all the work for you!


* OCZ Black Edition memory is validated on ASUS M4A79T 790FX motherboards. Please make sure your 790 GX/FX motherboard specifically supports AOD and you have downloaded the latest software update from AMD if you wish to enable this feature on your system. Please note that you must be online to access the memory profiles in AOD.




OverClocked Inside (Germany)
"Even with the 8-8-8-24 2T timings it was possible to overclock them to enormously high 826 MHz and/or 1651 MHz with a RAM Range Int Buff'd iSSE2 of 15.00 GB/s (memory bus range 25.84 GB/s and memory latency 69 ns). The OCZ AMD Black Edition PC3-12800 CL8 4GB RAM kit OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GK is a special kit with interesting features and attractive design. The total result with low JEDEC voltage and manufacturer voltage was positive."

Technoyard
"As the tests reveal, the OCZ AMD Black Edition PC3-12800 Modules really do live up to OCZ's status. These modules have certainly been very interesting to test and looks wise it's second to none and would certainly complement to the looks of your rig. Coupled with a AMD Black Edition processor and an AOD compatible motherboard these modules provides a lethal combination of performance. Since the AMD "OverDrive" software is very user friendly both novice and hardcore user alike can overclock their systems with ease. All in all we truly recommend these modules for all AMD users with supporting hardware since they performed well above our expectations. The price is definitely a plus point and within reach for most users."

"If you're gearing up to build an AMD system, particularly one with a Phenom II CPU, OCZ has a RAM kit for you. The new 2x2GB OCZ Black Edition kit includes memory that runs with an ultra-low voltage, not to mention a fairly sweet design and an AMD-branded XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreader."

Pure Overclock
"The OCZ Black Edition modules performed very well in today's tests, showing great scaling for the most part in our suite, and allowing us to push things quite easily. The ease with which these modules can be optimized for your system is perhaps the most impressive feature. The ability to "set it and forget it" is certainly beneficial. These sticks also proved to be very easy to overclock, and not touchy to voltage tweaks at all, which is always a blessing when trying to find the limits of your memory and overclock settings. If you're looking for some very sleek modules and have supporting hardware to take advantage of the features here, these OCZ Black Edition DDR3-1600 modules are a great option."

PC Wiz Kid Tech Talk
"This 4GB AMD compatible kit is meant to unleash the full potential of your AMD system. PCWizKid was impressed at the superior performance the OCZ AMD Black Edition memory provided over all other tested kits. Without even changing the default 8-8-8-24 timings it outperformed and proved to be a easy to overclock kit which our test system accepted hassle free and the AMD overdrive utility had no issues recognizing and setting up. OCZ lives up to expectations with quality, looks and performance RAM once again proving that PC Enthusiasts modding their AMD system and looking for top quality should consider OCZ AMD Black Edition as their choice."

Benchmark Reviews
"The performance of the OCZ Black Edition DDR3-1600 CL8 1.65V Dual-Channel Kit was spot on with the advertised specifications. I experienced no difficulty achieving their rated speeds and timings at the rated voltage. The OCZ Black Edition modules have a classy visual appeal. The basic design that OCZ has been using for their heat spreaders is a classic. The 4GB OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GK kit is reasonably priced. These OCZ CL8 modules earn a Silver Tachometer Award for their performance, appearance, quality, and value."
