Sunnyvale, CA—January 30, 2006—OCZ Technology Group,
a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high
reliability memory, today announced the highly-anticipated Platinum XTC
memory series. The first inclusion to the new series will be the
PC2-6400 EL Platinum Edition XTC, engineered to implement the recently
introduced and highly commended OCZ XTC heatspreader design.
The Platinum XTC DDR2 series features the innovative XTC
(Xtreme Thermal Convection) Heatspreaders. The unique design used in
the XTC heatspreaders optimizes the thermal management of memory
modules by promoting greater airflow by means of micro-convection
throughout what is usually the dead air space inside conventional
heatspreader designs. In this manner, build-up of heat is avoided and
thermal dissipation of the memory components is offloaded more
efficiently through the honeycomb design. At the same time, mechanical
stability is maintained.
In addition to offering gamers and overclockers
an enhanced thermal solution for their memory, the PC2-6400 Platinum
XTC series delivers exceptional next generation DDR2 performance and
stability. At DDR2-800, these modules are rated to run at 4-5-4 timings
offering lower latencies than standard DDR2 modules and giving high-end
Intel based systems that extra performance edge that is demanded by
today’s hard core gamers and enthusiasts.
“From a price/performance viewpoint, DDR2 is becoming increasingly
attractive. To fill the growing demand, we specifically developed the
OCZ PC2-6400 EL DDR 512MB and 1GB kit for the extreme gamer and
overclocker,” commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology
Development at OCZ Technology. “In short, the combination of OCZ’s
Extended Voltage protection with the latest generation of ultra-fast
components allows our customers to push the performance envelope beyond
the limitations of the first generation of DDR in a thermally sound
environment, courtesy of the XTC heatspreaders.”
“The implementation of the innovative XTC heatspreaders
on our Gold memory modules offered serious gamers superior cooling for
their hard working memory,” stated Alex Mei, VP of Marketing, OCZ
Technology. “By employing XTC heatspreaders on our new Platinum modules
we are able to deliver a superior product for enthusiasts looking for
the ultimate overclocking solution.”
All PC2-6400 Platinum XTC Edition modules are 100%
hand-tested for quality assurance and compatibility and feature high
quality, platinum-mirrored XTC heatspreaders for the most effective
heat dissipation. Furthermore, each OCZ Platinum series module is
backed by the industry leading OCZ Lifetime Warranty and technical
support for unparalleled peace of mind. With the fusion of the
award-winning XTC series and cutting-edge, high-speed OCZ DDR2
architecture, the PC2-6400 Platinum XTC edition is the ultimate
breakthrough for remarkable Intel platform performance.
