OCZ PC2-6400 Titanium 2Gb DC Kit
Introduction and Packaging
Published: 12th March 2007 | Source: OCZ Technology | Price: |
OCZ Technology first entered the memory market in August 2000, and their vision was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM available. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and their commitment to the end-user was paramount in achieving their goal.
Seven years on, OCZ Technology has become the innovator and not the immitator in many areas, particularly with their recent branching out into mainstream enthusiast hardware. But anyway, I'll let OCZ tell you what it does best:
| We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today’s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process. |
At OCZ Technology, one of their main aims is to ensure customer satisfaction:
| At OCZ we have one primary goal, and it is to make sure that every customer is 110% satisfied. Every employee at OCZ is dedicated to accomplishing this goal. Our engineers are constantly developing the fastest and best performing products. Our finance department works every angle to bring customers our product at the best price. Our marketing department ensures all the information needed to make an informed purchase is available and presented in an easy to understand format. The technical support department constantly studies and tests the latest hardware to be as informed as possible to help you with any issue you may have. Our customer service department is filled with customer satisfaction fanatics who will refuse to let you be unsatisfied. |
Today, I have been fortunate enough to have been asked to review OCZ's PC2-6400 Titanium EPP-Ready Dual Channel DDR2 RAM . So without further delay, let's get acquainted with our review subject.
Most current memory manufacturers appear to prefer packaging their modules in clear plastic blister packs. OCZ's packaging format is no different. Although the clear blister pack clearly shows off the new modules virgin appearance very nicely, I do have some doubt in its integrity if subjected to heavy handling in the post. However, I must say though to OCZ's credit; these review modules made it safely from the otherside of the planet to Australia in perfect condition.
The packaging itself is surprisingly simplistic, particularly coming from a company as well known as OCZ. The rear of the blister pack has the usual blurb about customer support; commitment to quality; lifetime warranty, and performance...Along with recommendations from some rather well known names.
Not that inserting RAM modules into DIMM's is rocket science, but OCZ has provided an 'how-to' on the inside of the card insert.

Ok enough of the packaging. Let's have a closer look at these badboys, including their specifications.

Nice review, and some nice sticks too! Thanks for the review.
Nice review Peevs 
PV, a quality review of some awesome sticks!
I totally regret splurging exessive ammounts of cash on dominators when for about half the price I could get the same performance with these, well done OCZ

Thanks guys for the feedback. They really are great little performers 
Yep, great review PV and great budget sticks OCZ. Pats on the back all round 
great review PV !!!! Those sticks definitely are nice. BTW 2.3V is the max Promos responds to neways , so you arent missing nething by not giving them more. 550 mhz is a great overclock for sure , especially for a mediocre price range memory.
I love it, our resident memory guru is back in town, w00t w00t!

Thanks |3ourne, and it's great to see you back.
first nice review but made me think , i have 2 g.skill memory and run at stock 4-4-4-10 how come the rest arent at 10 ? , even after ocing i managed to tighten them to 10 and difference does it make higher freq or tighter timings
Great review peevles. Awesome cause i was looking for a cheap 2gig kit also.

Heh, Then i looked them up on newegg and they were like $250 or something for the 2GB kit. I'de rather grab a $200 kit and take my chances :P
Great review, these look interesting for the money indeed. 
Is it ok to ask in this thread if I would be better off with the tested RAM or would it be worth spending the extra on the Ocz GX XTC 2gb PC2-8800 DDR2 1100?

Sorry Lim, but I'm not sure if I quite get what you mean. Your GSKILL ram defaults at CAS4 (or latency), the OCZ sticks will do the same running on an EPP enhanced mobo which is like an auto overclock per se', but they are specified to be run at CAS5 (5-4-4-15) on a non-EPP enhanced motherboard like my P5B. As far as the lowest latency and timings were concerned, that was the furtheset I could push them and still retain Prime and F@H stability. Any further increase in voltage or tightening of the timings resulted in blue screen or Prime/F@H failure. Does that clarify? If not lemme know, and perhaps rephrase your question a little.
Thanks Mike, glad you found it useful for a potential future purchase |
I've just got hold of a pair of these, looking forward to tweaking them to death and pushing my e4300 past 3ghz!
Nice read and great info for me thanks!
