Prior to that, a RAM standard, such as DDR1, would have been around for a fair number of years before seeing a new revision. Today we'll be looking at one of OCZ's DDR3 RAM kits, part of their value line-up, the OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Gold Low Voltage 4GB kit.

They're rated at DDR3-1600, that's PC3-12800 spec with low memory timings of 7-7-7-24, as well as full support for XMP (for motherboards that have this option in the BIOS). MX-Tech Black Diamond series are aimed and targeted at the performance user that require low latency and system performance. For cooling, they come with high-end Japanses aluminum heatspreaders, which helps with heat dissipation.

The Crucial Ballistix line of RAM has been widely known and favored by performance enthusiasts for quite some time now. The kit being reviewed is a 4GB kit rated at DDR3-1600 frequency with 8-8-8-24 timings at 1.65v. This kit also contains an Intel XMP profile for easily setting the rated frequency of 1600 MHz from within the BIOS.

This Ballistix RAM brings something new to the memory table, with the addition of an integrated thermal sensor for real time thermal monitoring. All that is needed is a small download of the M.O.D. (Memory Overview Display) utility from the Crucial Website to be able to monitor the thermal performance of your RAM in a graph and also a table format (when enabled) in real time.

We will check out the thermal monitoring along with the performance of the BL2KIT25664FN1608 kit to access what this kit has to offer at both stock and overclocked profiles.

Slowly but surely since the introduction of DDR3 we've seen a reduction in price until it has become quite affordable. This is especially important with X58 based systems thanks to the need to purchase a triple-channel kit to get the most out of your system as opposed to the dual-channel nature of the other chipsets available.

The problem with a more affordable kit has usually been that, like so many things, you give up a certain amount of style to obtain the substance.

We here at OC3D never mind a lot of substance at the expense of a bit of style. Something that is ugly and does its job is prefereable to a useless bit of loveliness. Germaine Greer vs Lindsay Lohan. However, if at all possible we prefer some flair with our hardware. A little flash. Milla Jovovich if you will allow us to continue the analogy.

Mushkin have definitely increased their presence on this side of the pond in recent times, and we've been very blessed by being given the first look at a variant of their Ridgeback-cooled RAM.

Normally Mushkin memory comes in a fetching, if slightly commonplace, black heatsink. All fine and dandy and black goes with most things. But what if you fancy something different? What if you fancy something very flash, but that doesn't break the bank?

Enter the Redline Ridgeback 1600MHz 6GB kit.

RAM is also something that also adds a lot of heat to your machine especially in large quantities or high speeds. Here today we have the OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Extreme Low Voltage CL 9 Dual Channel 4GB kit for our testing pleasure. It’s a good bit of RAM at great speeds, but low power which should keep it cool. Also, it has platinum colored heat spreaders and a low/standard profile. Lets see how the OCZ Platinum fairs in our performance tests.

Kingston recently introduced the H2O versions to the HyperX family product to target gamers, PC enthusiasts, and extreme overclockers. The HyperX H2O series is designed for those who crave top speeds and performance, but they come with a twist; the H2O, as the name implies, is also designed for liquid cooling applications. Featuring very sleek liquid-cooled heatspreaders, they appear to have strong heat dissipation which can then lead to higher overclocks. There are currently three different varieties of HyperX H2O DDR3 modules: two are 4GB dual channel kits (2000MHz and 2133MHz), and the third is a 6GB triple-channel kit running at 2000MHz.

Today we are looking at the tri-Channel 6GB DDR3-2000 variety, retailing for $235 MSRP through Kingston’s authorized distributors, resellers, e-tailers and retailers. The HyperX H2O modules certainly have the look of a performance king, but how do they really perform? Let’s find out.

Today, the norm is 2 GB sticks and as evidenced by today's review, 4 GB sticks are slowly gaining ground. This review is on the G.Skill Ripjaws, DDR3-1600 CL9 8 GB (4GB X 2) set of memory rated to run at 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.50v. We will run this memory through the normal suite of OCC benchmarks to see how it performs. I don't have any other 4 GB sticks available so we will see how they do against the 2 GB sticks I do have.

Usually overclocking comes at the cost of capacity. Most over-clocked modules are only available in small capacities and require that you only “half-load” the DRAM bus. This new large capacity kit enables you to “fully load” the DRAM bus.

Super Talent’s new 24GB triple channel kit enables a fully loaded configuration consisting of a Kit of 6 (4GB) modules in 6 slots (DDR3-2000-CL9) at 1.65V. Super Talent’s has once again moved beyond industry limitations and produced a DDR3 capable of overclocking to an incredible 2000 MHz.
