Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last little while, news of OCZ leaving the computer RAM business completely by February 28 of this year has been spreading like wildfire on the internet. This announcement came after OCZ's statement in August 2010, when the company decided to withdraw from the unprofitable commodity memory market to focus on high performance enthusiast RAM instead. However, two weeks ago, news dawned upon us that even that move is no more. Being a major player in the solid state disk drive market (Not surprisingly, as it seems to me the OCZ Vertex 2 is the Honda Civic of the SSD world, except with Lamborghini performance), OCZ recently claimed 78% of their revenue came from SSDs in the past financial quarter. While we wish OCZ the best in their future ventures, it was a certainly a sad day for us upon hearing about this. I have personally witnessed OCZ's substantial growth back in the early 2000's. From their awesome marketing in widely popularizing the use of heatspreaders on high performance overclocking RAM when DDR1 RAM was still the standard and AMD Athlon 64s were the craze, to competitively priced high quality modules, OCZ have unquestionably won the hearts of many casual system builders and hardcore enthusiasts alike. I still remember their Special Ops Edition Urban Elite DDR2 with cool looking 'camo' heatspreaders, the epic Flex XLC that can be hooked up to your water cooling system, and my first ever set of DDR3 RAM, back when 2x1GB modules ran for $600 a kit. Before we wave goodbye to our long time friend, today we will publish what is probably our last OCZ RAM review on the Platinum XTE PC3-16000 2x2GB dual channel kit.
We've had a look at a fair few kits of memory over the last few weeks, but we've got more now, and today we're checking out another kit from Patriot. This one's a little different to the other kits we've looked at, as it carries with it the lowest clock we've tested to date on the P67 platform.
The Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer DDR3 PC3-12800 BL2KIT25664ST1608OB memory kit comes with two interesting features: fully customizable lighting system, along with thermal sensors that can be monitored via the M.O.D. software utility.
Having just a fast processor isn't really enough these days; a high-speed memory kit can provide quite a bit of performance boost to your bandwidth-hungry Intel 'Sandy Bridge' platform gaming rig. VR-Zone.com finds out how much an improvement there can be with the F3-12800CL7D-4GBXM kit from G.Skill. Overclocking included.
Everyone knows everything is upside down in Australia. They sit, sleep, and eat upside down. They celebrate Christmas in the summer. They drive on the wrong side of the road. But here are some things you might not know. Did you know that the Liberal Party of Australia is actually conservative? Did you know you can get slapped with a bigger fine and gain more demerit points if you own a radar detector (Where it is legal in 48 of the 50 states in America) than, say, if you do a burnout in your car, and then drive 45km/h over the speed limit? Did you know they heat their houses using air conditioners? In other words, if I went to Australia one day and wanted to bake a chicken, I would probably need to put it in the freezer. Indeed, Australia is a very weird place. But as time went on, I sooner or later realized Australia is not the only place in the world where weird things happen. Meanwhile, inside my igloo here in Canada, sitting next to me in the snow is G.SKILL's Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 2x4GB DDR3 RAM. What's so weird and against the norm about this dual channel kit is it has the looks and capabilities of high performance memory, but its voltage requirements is along the line of low performance 'eco' RAM designed to save power. How can this be? And if we gave it full voltage, can it move beyond what it is designed for? Read on to find out what we have found!
Today we are going to look at Intel's mainstream chipset and put 5 different memory kits through their paces in a selection of real world and synthetic tests on Z68.
Alle paar Jahre tauchen neue Modulgrößen für Speicherkits bei uns auf: Waren bislang 4-GB-Module üblich, sind jetzt die ersten 8-GB-Module zu haben. Mit diesen lassen sich in einem Dual-Channel-System mit vier Speicherslots immerhin 32 GB unterbringen, bei einem Triple-Channel-System sogar bis zu 48 GB. Nachdem ADATA auf der Computex bereits in einem P67-System einen Ausbau auf 32 GB gezeigt und man kurze Zeit später die neuen Kits vorgestellt hat, liegen uns nun zwei 16-GB-Kits vor, um das selber einmal zu testen.
Arbeitsspeicher des Typs DDR3 ist zurzeit so günstig wie nie zuvor. Doch im Gegensatz zum Preis ist das aktuell vorherrschende Angebot alles andere als gering, denn jeder Hersteller versucht mit seinen Modellen den Kunden für sich zu gewinnen. Wie auch alle anderen großen RAM-Produzenten hat dabei Patriot Module im Programm, welche sich vor allem an Gamer richten. Wir haben uns die neuen Viper Xtreme aus der "Division 2"-Serie zukommen lassen, um sie mit den Konkurrenzprodukten zu vergleichen. Die Begeisterung unsererseits hielt sich am Ende allerdings in Grenzen.
X79 is here and that simply means a change in the way that things are done. It doesn't just mean a new motherboard and a new processor, but also a new memory architecture. In terms of Intel, X58 saw us utilising Tri-channel memory, whilst Sandy Bridge P67/H67 and Z68 saw the famous dual-channel memory being the chosen technology which rivalled AMD with the same tech.
When Intel launched their latest high end X79 platform, Kitguru was on hand with three, detailed reviews. One of the most impressive talking points with X79 is the use of Quad channel memory, which delivers substantially higher bandwidth results than anything else on the market. Today we are looking at the latest kit from G.Skill – the RipJawsZ 16GB kit which runs at a very tasty 2,400mhz.
