OCZ 2Gb PC2-9200 FlexXLC kits now in stock - December 4th 2006

We are proud to be the first European reseller to stock the brand new unique OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC 2Gb memory kits in stock. These are revolutionary new kits from OCZ featuring new cooling options and extreme overclock-ability.

OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC 2x1GB Kit, a revolutionary new memory solution that offers unprecedented speed, signal integrity, and thermal management. These new modules feature the new OCZ FlexXLC heatsink that delivers superior heat dissipation via a hybrid copper and aluminum design alterable between passive air or water cooling. As the World’s fastest DDR2, the PC2-9200, in combination with the innovative FlexXLC technology, is considerably the most ground-breaking and unique memory product existing today.

The latest generation of DDR2 modules by far exceeds the original projections of the DDR2 design triggering a need for amendments in the operating specifications. For example, operating voltage, originally defined as 1.8V, has increased to typically 2.1V or even higher to reach 1GHz+ frequencies. In the case of a DDR2 module running at 1200 MHz and 2.1V supply voltage, this entails that the power consumption increases many times over that of the same module running at 400 MHz and 1.8V supply voltage. Power consumption, in turn, directly translates into heat dissipation.

The extreme increase in power consumption without substantial changes in form factor increases the power and heat density, which requires serious countermeasures to maintain the thermal balance necessary for signal integrity and high performance.

Thanks to OCZ’s FlexXLC (Xtreme Liquid Convention) heat management solution, the OCZ PC2-9200 operates at extreme speeds of 1150MHz without the high temperatures that inhibit or damage the module’s ICs. The FlexXLC module was engineered with a unique “flexible” design which gives enthusiasts the option to run the modules passively or water cooled via the integrated liquid injection system. The concurrent use of both technologies (water-cooling) promotes maximum heat dissipation.

As usual you should see european and US prices as 1:1, no need to convert especially for RAM that I'd say is the section which has the biggest price advantage in US over european prices. :rolleyes: But that still doesn't make it much better but that's how you should compare anyways. But of course the 1st site getting them in stock will charge a bit more, would be stupid of them not to from a marketing point of view. :p:

Hey isn't it this kit? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227184 not that bad price I'd say compared to Corsair dominator. :p:

I have a pair of cell shock pc8000 4-4-4 that does pretty much the same :)
575 5-5-5 is not that hard at 2.4V

It is out of stock @ the egg
any way that ram got OCZ OVP up to 2.52V with 8 layers PCB so it woth all the 500$

if a gamer buys this and he doesnt have 8800gtx sli, he should get his priorities straight lol

Ram prices are out of control! I remember thinking "WOW THATS A LOT" when I paid 200 for a set of 2*512 PC4000 mushkin CH UTTs. Then again not many people had 2gb at the time and it was one of the highest bins/best average OC of any UTT kit when I purchased them. 500-600 for a top bin of the average amount of ram is nuts... I wouldn't even consider paying 500 for 4gb.

Teamgroup doesn't even have heatspreaders on their rams, explain that one. If I'm forced to spend 500 bucks on any one component, it would be on a completely accessorized Lian Li cube case that I can use over and over and over and over...and not something that will go obsolete in another year or two.

Sorry I should say, they are very indifferent to heatspreaders. The OPB edition ram doesn't have heatspreaders and its top of the line.

sometimes heatspreaders is not the best way to cool the memory, a lot of people know that

That's why I said Team is indifferent. They know its not necessary and include it only for people that wants the bling.

Yes it is not necessary to use heat spreaders but for 2.3V+ you need active cooling and beyond 2.5V water cooling will be great , those kits not for regular users those for benchers and 2.7 vdim and up

All DDR2 2X1GB kit @ $400 and up should be able to do 1300 5-4-4 with N680i board @ 2.4/2.5V.

If not then theres something wrong with the ram or mobo.

More expensive then a decent VGA or Processor, RAM isn't so important - any decent 2x1Gb Ram that can do the same is more then enough, this is getting real stupid, I fought evolution should make people smarter - guess I was wrong :(
