OCZ Announces Liquid Cooled 1200MHz Memory

OCZ Technology Group is one of the few companies that have actually put water cooling to good use when it comes to memories. I've heard people say that they are afraid of working inside a computer case, while the PC is running, because they might "get electrocuted", so I'm thinking: What are the odds of convincing them that water cooling for their memories is a good thing. I think it would take a second or two but the response will most certainly be "water inside the computer?"

That only means that these memory kits are made especially for the most hardcore enthusiasts; I mean, you would have to be one so that the price tag doesn't blow you away, or leave your mouth wide open. The memory comes in a 2x1024MB memory kit, features, as I've said, 1200MHz memory frequency (PC-9600) with 5-5-5-18 latencies. The power needed by the memory, not the cooling system, is of 2.35V, allowing enthusiasts to increase the voltage up to 2.4V without voiding the warranty through OCZ's EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) feature. Also, the memory has a PCB made out of eight layers, thus reducing crosstalk between them.

Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology stated: "Memory performance is the key to system performance. In the complexity of today's workloads, both speed and density are important factors when it comes to choosing memory solutions. The PC2-9600 Flex XLC kits satisfy both needs by providing 2GB of blazing fast DDR2 for even ((even for)) the most demanding applications. Moreover, the flexible cooling solution that can be adapted to either water or air cooling guarantees thermal balance even under extreme data traffic conditions."
