OCZ PC2-4200 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel Kit Review --- TheThirdMedia Hardware

Introduction

PC gamers have always been on the bleeding edge of technology. As a matter of fact, PC gamers have been the driving economic force creating the need for monster video cards faster processors, and PC evolution in general. DDR2 memory is the latest offspring of the PC evolution, providing more memory bandwidth per cycle than its older DDR brother. This new memory is very versatile and should fulfill the needs of gamers, as well as the server crowd for more serious applications.

OCZ has an extensive lineup of DDR2 memory modules, with each line optimized for particular tasks. The new OCZ PC2-4200 Gold GX was designed with low latencies for the gamer. This new memory features OCZâ€™s latest heatspreader design, dubbed XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) to allow for increased ventilation and heat disspitation due to its honeycomb design.

It runs at 533MHz with fast 4-4-4 timings with flawless performance and stability. Each module is hand tested to ensure compliance and high quality. OCZ even backs their modules with an industry-leading lifetime warranty.

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 EVPÂ® (Extended Voltage Protection) is a feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.2V Â± 5% without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty.
