Abstract: OCZ Technology has developed the new PC3-12800 Platinum Edition to offer enthusiasts a memory solution that takes full advantage of all the capabilities of the Intel P35 and X38 Express chipsets. At 1600MHz, the OCZ PC3-12800 Platinum is rated to run C...
I didn't talk much about OCZ's Platinum heat spreaders, but they are very sharp looking. They don't have large heatsinks coming off of them or flashing LED lights, but they are one of the better looking heatspreaders on the market. On top of t...
Abstract: However, unique heat-spreaders are not the primary advantage of OCZ memory modules. This DDR3-1600 Platinum Edition kit supports 7-7-7-24 timings – the absolute best timings set among all our today’s testing participants...
In terms of performance between these two kits, there is effectively no delta; especially considering the simple fact that Crucial's sticks came with the built in information to be pushed to a tasteful 7-7-7 latency package. So really, what this comes...
Abstract: After the rather disappointing Mushkin run, I was very pleased that these modules overclocked rather easily to very pleasing levels. In this regard, the cas 7 headroom might be called rather limited, because at 810Mhz (but 1T instead of 2T) it provided only marginal additional speeds..

I like to begin memory kit conclusions with a summary of performance to help explain my rating for the product. The OCZ 6GB DDR3 1600MHz memory kit may not seem all that great when you hear so much about dual-channel kits reaching 2000MHz, but triple-c...
The rating stickers they place on the memory itself, mars the beauty of the memory itself.
S The OCZ Tri Channel 1600 Platinum memory performance was what I have come to expect from a great company, fast. Even though the lead these sticks had in most of my testing was marginal, in this game, every lil split second counts and can determine t...
Abstract: Triple channel DDR3 modules are quickly becoming more prevalent and affordable, with most major memory manufacturers now having several different modules available in their product lineup. With such a wide selection available to consumers, its both a ...
