OCZ PC2-8500 DDR2 memory with Reaper HPC cooling

Posted on Thursday, February 22 2007 @ 0:14 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

OCZ informed me about their new dual-channel 2GB PC2-8500 memory kit which features their passive Reaper HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit) heatspreader.

As heat rises into the thermo-conductive copper heat pipe conduit, it is dissipated through the strategically-placed compact aluminum fin array. By guiding performance-robbing heat away from key memory components, the unique Reaper HPC design helps facilitate improved overclocking performance, while improving longevity and stability of the modules.

The first modules to be incorporated with the new Reaper heatsink are rated at 1066MHz and run at CL 5-5-5. Featuring an EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles) programmed SPD, PC2-8500 Reaper HPC modules will immediately boot at the rated specs on the latest generation of NVIDIA SLI chipsets.
