| Platinum XTE OCZ Add to cart | Specs: Capacity: 4GB (2x 2GB, dualchannel); Rated frequency: 2,000MHz (PC3-16000); Timings: 9-9-9-24; Voltage: 1.65V; Warranty: Lifetime |
Developed with Intel’s Sandy Bridge
platform in mind, OCZ’s Platinum
XTE series is low-voltage, dual-channel
memory that is built for overclocking.
The DIMMs feature OCZ’s low-profile
but girthy Xtreme Thermal Exchange heat
spreaders, which are designed to provide
optimal heat dissipation. Indeed, even while
clocked at DDR3-1600 with 7-7-7-16
timings and running benchmarks, this 4GB
DDR3-2000 kit maintained its temperature
well; our infrared thermometer showed little
or no temperature increase.
Running on an Intel DP67BG board
with a Core i7-2600K, the OCZ kit hit
21.58GBps of peak bandwidth and 60.5ns
latency in SiSoft Sandra’s memory tests at
1.65V and with the above-mentioned clock
speed and timings. (Stock scores running at
DDR3-1333 with 9-9-9-24 timings were
14.49GBps and 76.2ns, respectively.)
At $75.99, you could do a lot
worse for a Sandy Bridge memory kit,
especially considering how well it
can overclock.
