OCZ FlexXLC Edition PC2-9200 (1150mhz) 2GB DDR2 Kit
Packaging & Appearance
Published: 4th July 2007 | Source: OCZ | Price: |
With the FlexXLC kit being rather unique, I had high hopes that OCZ would make a fuss of it and possibly package the modules in some kind of limited edition box. Unfortunately, much to my disappointment, the boring clear plastic blister pack that we've become accustomed to from many previous memory reviews remained, leaving me with little to talk about.
As always, the clear plastic blister packaging allows for the modules to be fully on show, with only a small sticker at the bottom of the packet giving the model number and brief specifications of the modules. One thing worth noting about the packaging is that OCZ have bonded the blister pack together in four places. This ensures that the modules do not move around inside the packaging and knock into each other - a problem that occurred when the FlexXLC kits were first released.
Appearance
The FlexXLC modules look nothing short of menacing with a large 46 pin fin array at the top of the modules and devils horn-like 1/4" barbs at either side. In addition to this, the combination of aluminium and copper used to construct the heatspreaders makes the modules much heavier than your average DDR2 kit giving the impression that you've got much more for your money.

Holding the hefty heatspreaders in place is a total of 3 screws (one of which is hidden underneath the specs label). Unfortunately even after removing these screws the heatspreaders remained firmly attached to the modules making it totally impossible for us to get a glimpse of the memory IC's used on the PCB.
Photographing the modules also proved equally as impossible due to their highly reflective chromed surface. Every shot either contained some greasy fingerprints or a mirror image of the surrounding environment!

Nice job jimbo. Good set too.
Sexy RAM 
Nice, surprized about the price, thought it`d be a bit more. $236 @ NewEgg.
I won`t admit to seeing a pic of these b4 and thinking the water things were somekind of screw-down efforts >.<
oops

Water cooled RAM and you never tested it under water :eh:
Now I'm left wondering what they could have done. Nice sticks though.

That's a nice o/c you managed there. 
I don't think I've seen a good comparison between passive/air/water cooling the RAM so it would have been interesting to see if there was much of an o/c difference.

ooo i've got 4gb of these in my new rig I didn't realise they were this good I think I will do a bit of playing as I have them water cooled too.
What if u had a tubing, with a tap, just looping the memory, filled with something like mineral oil ?
