The OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition Bundle

It's time to open up the plastic package and get a look at what we are dealing with. Having removed the memory from the blister pack, we notice the heatspreaders on the OCZ EB PC-4000 kit are platinum, as these are part of the high performance Platinum Edition product line. The lightweight design and platinum heatsinks are awesome and stylish to say the least.

First impressions on these modules are cosmetic impressions; simply put these are some dynamite looking heatspreaders. The platinum mirrored finish looks really good and gives these modules a nice look, while providing the more than enough heat dissipation capabilities. Contrasted with the black product logo and specifications, these modules look really good. But how will they perform? We will get the low down later on...

The OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition dual channel modules have the word elegant written all over it. These modules are some of the nicest specimens we have seen. The heatspreaders offer a mirror like chrome finish and is adorned with the OCZ three dimensional logo. The CL 3-3-2-8 timings are one of the most aggressive in the industry, supercharging this ram into new realms and performance needed for today's super fast gaming computers.

Special Features

• Extended Voltage Protection (EVP): a feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.9V ± 5% without invalidating their OCZ lifetime warranty.
• Ultra Low Noise (ULN2): a technology which uses various printed circuit board (PCB) techniques to reduce the amount of electrical noise that is present in all high-speed IC's. This results in faster and more stable memory.

Encased in a mirrored platinum copper heatspreader to aid in effective heat dissipation, OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition featuring Enhanced Bandwidth technology is the fastest PC-4000 1024MB memory on the market. Unlike no other 2GB memory solution, this cutting-edge line operates with the extraordinarily fast latency timings of 3-3-2-8!

The big OCZ label smack dab in middle, both front and back, is what lets you know who these modules are produced by. Aside from these logos tattooed to the middles and the sticker with the modules information, there are no other markings or identifiers on OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition ram sticks. As already mentioned these modules come with a reflective finish, which is clearly seen from the reflection our images.

The OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition dual channel modules are almost completely covered by the platinum heatsink, meaning that heatspeaders come wrapped around the entire PCB. The top of the module is completely covered. Not only that but if your rig is set up with UV and lamps then this ram will give off some rather cool effects with its mirror finish. This ram is totally bitch'n looking, what more can be said about such handsome modules.

These OCZ sticks are sweet looking indeed! I love the look and weight of the spreaders; while light in weight they do have a solid dense feel to them. Feels rugged and ready to rock! This ram is fantastic for the latest gaming titles, swap hits will be the thing of the past, creating a whole new gaming experience like never before. This memory is able to handle voltages of up to 3 volts without voiding the warranty. The enhanced latencies will give excellent stability for super fast performance for any game titles right on down to everyday application that requires lightning fast high capacity memory for today's multi-task environments. Let's go stuff these sticks in our test rig.
