As you can see, the OCZ 3700 Gold offers the best bandwidth without having to resort to extreme Vdimm. It is THE choice for 1:1 overclocking at 250fsb or higher and I firmly recommend this ram if you just have to have the fastest ram there is. It even beat the TwinMos PC3700 with ease even though I was able to take it to DDR500, the timings were just too slack for it to stand a chance.

Con queste memorie, persino un BUS ampio come quello del P4 viene quasi saturato. Senza ricorrere alla più costosa alternativa del "doppio canale", che comunque sarà la scelta elettiva del mercato durante il 2003, possiamo fin da subito avere prestazioni esaltanti, grazie alle OCZ PC3500EL.

For that section of the market that does want high-spec super-tweakable RAM, though, OCZ's gear seems to be perfectly good value for money, and there is a real advantage to be gained.

EL-DDR is based upon Ultra Low Noise technology, and uses OCZ's own EL (Enhanced Latency) chips, rated at 4.5ns, showing that this PC3500 is not just another overclocked PC3200 stick. The RAM is also rated for CAS (Column Access Select) 2 operation at DDR434, but as you'll see in a few moments, this RAM can often go a lot further!

These modules also did well at 400MHz with 2-3-3-5 timings. Their specs say they can work at 434MHz with CAS Latency = 2. And these 434MHz are exactly what we got overclocking these modules at 2.6V voltage and with 2-3-3-7 timings. By the way, OCZ uses copper heatsinks on its modules and permits setting up to 2.8V voltage on memory chips. Of course, the overclocking results would be even higher in this case.

Simple yet effective best sums up how I feel about these heatsinks. OCZ did a great job with both of these heatsinks in terms of quality. The Dominator 2-CU is a great heatsink for those who need a quality unit, yet is cost effective. You can't go wrong with the Dominator 2-CU on any average use computer. Actually, I will say that the Dominator 2-CU is one of the better choices for the DIY computer builder.

I highly reccomend this heatsink to anyone who's looking to replace their stock HSF or even to replace some copper heatsinks. If you don't mind some extra noise, than for less than $20, this is one of the best deals around.

Simply unbelievable. Not only did the OCZ Dominator 2 seriously compete with the Thermaltake Volcano 7+ in our tests, it actually outperformed the $35USD cooler for the lean price of $20USD. The near perfect base, the wonderful textured fins and the 60mm Delta monster of a fan, really pushed this tiny aluminum heatsink past its all-copper, heavyweight opponents.

This is a very effective cooler, the best temps I have had from a review so far.

If you're looking at this heatsink and saying, "hey this is just a regular Dynatron" that isn't quite accurate. OCZ have the dibs on some very funky extra fin height that you won't see under that name. The stepped fins slide under the fan shroud and offer a bit of extra width as well.
