Guess no one noticed the references in my OP. I'll give this one out: the actual voltage output is 0.40 volts.

Ironically, I just replaced an OCZ 700 last week. Got 7 or 8 years out of it. Still have a few sets of OCZ DDR ram and still have a DDR Booster in the original package. All fully functional.

That DDR Booster is something I would love to see in action.

DDR1 600Mhz with that DDR voltage booster was madness for its era, as well as the PSU's with a screwdriver adjustable voltage

Yeah I remember them. OCZ was a big deal over 10 years ago. Back in early 2009 I bought a DDR3-1600 cl9 3x2gb Kit of OCZ RAM that had no XMP profile. Last year I bought an old Core i7-920 system that had an OCZ DDR3-1600 cl7 3x2gb Kit installed in the system. When I saw that kit of RAM in that system along with an old Corsair HX1000 I knew the original builder spared no expense.

Both sets of the OCZ RAM worked well. No complaints. I was able to clock the non-XMP memory to 1600mhz with 9-9-9-27 timings.

Ahhhh, now I just remembered that they refused to honor the Rebate on the RAM I purchased.

Same. They ended up in my server now.

I have an OCZ active memory cooler too that's no longer in use (was used to cool the FB-DIMMs on previous server) but it still works. Although come to think of it, I think I replaced the fans because one died.

My OCZ Vertex 2 50GB SSD died early this year. Bought it in 2010 and it cost ~250$. It was unfortunally my main Windows drive and the read/writes were almost 25TB on that b*tch :D

I always loved that ram, they were good and fairly priced.

Have a few sets of DDR from them and a waterblock, namely an OCZ Hydroflow I've been using for the past 8 or 9 years and it's still working great.
Well enough in fact I normally run it period, even in competing in OC'ing comps whenever I want to use a watercooled setup.

I remember them buying my favorite PSU brand, PC Power & Cooling, and running them into the ground. I also remember their Fatal1ty line and going "wtf is a Fatal1ty"

If you go to a microcenter, they still carry some of their PSUs in stock (sold under the Firepower brand and I think as refurbished units)

Damn shame too. PCP&C were the best back in the day. Bought a 425w Turbo Cool in 2003 to power my nForce2 system (still have receipt). To this day the unit still holds 2% variance under load.

9.5 ratings were probably the Fortron/FSP/Sparkle based units.
