RAM-producenterne har i den sidste tid været utroligt meget efter hinanden, for at opnå at være den producent med den højeste hastighed fra fabrikken.
Nu tager OCZ nye midler i brug, i form af mulighed for vandkøling som standard, indbygget i RAMmenes heatspreader. De har frigivet OCZ PC2-9200 Flex XLC, hvor XLC vel står for Xtreme Liqiud Cooling, og hvor flex betyder, at RAMmene kan køles af både luft og vand, alt efter hvad man skulle ønske.
Derudover er de rated til 1150MHz DDR (575MHz) med timings på 5-5-5-18, med utrolige 2,35 volt!. Så det er altså ikke RAM for små-børn det her!
Anandtech har nu haft fat i disse RAM, og de ser da overordentligt spændende ud:
"In a recent memory review we commented that the best DDR2 memory in the market is able to run at DDR2-800 3-3-3 timings and DDR2-1066 at 4-3-4. OCZ PC2-9200 Flex XLC has not changed the performance dynamics at those speeds. It is still based on Micron D9 memory chips, and in fact it requires 4-4-4 timings at DDR2-1067 due to the aggressive binning for the top speed. OCZ Flex XLC is not a new record setter at the useful speeds of DDR2-800 and DDR2-1066 - or the speeds of 400, 533 or 667.
OCZ Flex XLC does break new ground, however, at the top. Flex XLC demolishes our old overclock record of 1116 on the ASUS P5W-DH by almost 5% - reaching a stable memory speed of DDR2-1172. Performance is even more compelling on the NVIDIA nForce 680i, where Flex XLC reaches DDR2-1300!" http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2885
