OCZ Technology is one of the best companies in the industry when it comes to satisfying enthusiasts, gamers, and overclockers alike in their memory needs. OCZ was founded upon the idea of providing top of the line memory solutions for those that demanded the best, the enthusiast. This mantra has been in effect from day one back in the late summer of 2000 when OCZ was founded and still holds true today.
Aside from being able to develop ground breaking new technology, OCZ has also gained a reputation for being the best in the entire computer hardware business at taking care of its customers. Technical support and warranty processes are raved about all over internet forums with nothing but praise for the OCZ support experience. I have personally dealt with an OCZ memory RMA as an average joe consumer and I can vouch for these claims. We are not here today to talk about support though, the memory manufacturing industry has become increasingly competitive over recent years and OCZ has fought to retain their position as a leader of that charge. Innovations as of late have pushed the envelope in DDRII memory and that is why I am writing this review.
On November 20, 2006, OCZ Technology unveiled the next step in memory cooling with the introduction of the FlexXLC heatsink on their PC2-9200 2x1GB memory kit. Not only was this memory the fastest factory spec'd memory at the time of announcement but also the first to incorporate a water cooled memory heatsink from the factory. The FlexXLC heatsink is a dual purpose heatsink meaning it can act passively through large aluminum cooling fins or actively with use of water cooling. These modules are certainly one of a kind and this review should be quite exciting, let's get started.
