OCZ EL DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold GX XTC

Introduction

From the Manufacturer OCZ Technology:

• 533MHz DDR2
• CL 3-3-3-12 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
• Also available in a 512MB and 1GB module
• Unbuffered
• Gold Layered XTC Heatspreader*
• Lifetime Warranty
• 1.9 Volts
• 240 Pin DIMM
• EVP - OCZ's unique Extended Voltage Protection feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.2V ± 5% without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty.

A real innovation is the new heatspreaders OCZ uses:

XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders optimize 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.

Packaging

This is OCZ's standard memory package. It can be opened without a knife and unlike many other packages it will not be destroyed by opening it.


New on this DDR2 memory is that OCZ uses their completely re-engineered XTC heatspreaders.
