The OCZ Platinum DDR3-1600 kit does exactly what it says on the tin. It can easily run at its rated speed at CAS 7 timings with a low voltage of 1.66v. However, it also proved itself to overclock much further than we initially expected reaching an impr...
No Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP), Runs quite hot under load
So far, weve tested 6GB kits in various forms from all the major players, this is our first OCZ kit and I have to say that it doesnt disappoint. The only area that the Plats are lacking is the omission of extreme memory profiles. That said, its a...
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..
Abstract: There was a day when in my planning a new system, the cost of a good high-performance memory kit would be the deal breaker. $200 was the starting point of decent memory, and you could expect to pay in the $275-$325 range to get something exceptional. H...
Low CL7 Triple-Channel DDR3 latency, Offers 1600 MHz bandwidth, Lifetime warranty and support, Extremely good value, 6GB High-capacity Triple-Channel memory kit, Standard module profile offers multi-platform compatibility
No additional voltage headroom, Only overclocks 32MHz from 1600 to 1632
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...
