The OCZ name is well known when it comes to memory. Offering top notch performance and outstanding overclocking capabilities, it is hard to beat. OCZ sent over one of their DDR2 PC2-6400 SLi-Ready Edition kits for us to take a look at. On These PC2-6400 SLi-Ready memory modules are programmed to boot at 800MHz DDR2 with timings of 4-4-4 1T. Only motherboards equipped with the custom-designed BIOS, such as those designed for nVidia nForce SLi MCPs, can detect the optimized SPD profiles and ensure the memory functions under the best possible conditions.
First Impression
The OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLi-Ready kit arrived in the standard blister packaging. This is a 2GB kit (2 x 1GB), which utilizes 4-4-4-15 1T timings. Looking at the front of the package, you get a clear look at the exclusive nVidia XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders. On the rear of the package you will find a list of the modules features and a list of awards OCZ has received on their memory.
Specifications:
+ 800MHz DDR2. + EPP 4-4-4-15 1T (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS). + Available in 2GB (2x1024) dual channel kits. + Also available in a 1GB module. + Unbuffered. - SLi-Ready XTC Heatspreader. 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. + Lifetime Warranty. + 2.1 Volts. + 240 Pin DIMM.
Special features:
+ nVidia SLi Certified. - 2.3 Volt EPP. EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) is a feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.3V without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty.
Quote from OCZ:
Each OCZ SLI-Ready module comes equipped with an exclusive nVidia XTC heatspreaders for the most efficient heat dissipation and a look that stands out like its performance. Additionally, all SLI-Ready memory is backed with toll-free technical support, the exclusive EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) coverage, and an industry leading Lifetime Warranty.
With the fusion of the sophisticated EPP memory specification and cutting-edge, high-speed OCZ DDR2 architecture, the PC2-6400 edition is the ultimate breakthrough for advanced SLI platform performance.
