OCZ using TCCD Chips in all Platinum Memory except PC3200 Platinum (non Rev 2)

Well guys, we at OCZ have some good news.

OCZ has switched back to TCCD for all of the Platinum modules that have been TCCD in the past. The 3200 Platinum Rev 2 and PC4200 and PC4800 Platinum are now TCCD. Production switched late last week and should be hitting stores this week.

Our PC4800 Elite remains the best of the best, being binned at PC4800 2.5-4-4 and PC3200 2-2-2. At PC4800 speeds tighter timings are often seen. Of course this will vary from system to system and depends heavily on your CPU.

We at OCZ and no doubt many of you know that TCC5 = TCCD when properly tested prior to building modules. For those of you that only want TCCD for whatever reason, we have your memory.

The revisions are: Rev 1.0 = TCCD. Rev 1.1 = TCC5.

This applies to only to 1gb kits and 512mb modules. TCCD cannot be used on 1gb modules used in 2gb kits.

these are excellent news!! Hope we'll see new revision results soon.

yes as i hope all the ocz pc4800 that were tcc5 people should definatly take advantage of this if your ram cant do the stated 303mhz with stock timeings and as you know ocz will not dissapoint us.

sweet ! :clap:
excellent news :cool:

Well real good news, but my bad luck... I have Rev 2 V1.1 = TCC5, which I got over a month back. It still goes 270 1:1 (2.5-3-3-8 VDIMM=2.8) and no I have not tried to push more. But I think it can go 280-285 with relaxed setting.

Guys, understand we are not offering free "upgrades" to TCCD. The TCCD may not run any better or faster than what you have. Also consider the costs involved in an RMA for perfectly good memory. We want to stay in business and are in the business of selling memory, not taking in your good used memory that can't be resold.

Thanks for understanding.

I think Mr Slinky must have misunderstood....he probably thought this was a replacement program, not a reintroduction of a memory. Anyway, always good to hear that TCCD will be used--it's name is enough to sell it.

What week TCCD are we talking about Andy?

Why the switch back? Is TCCD more available again?

I have 2x512MB OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum Rev.2 shiped from OCZ Miami on December 2004. That's TCCD, isn't it?

I was under the impression that the Elites were discontinued...

Are you meaning to imply that TCC5 can be used on 1GB modules? Or are you just re-stating that TCCx ICs aren't capable of 1GB modules for clarification purposes?

TCCx IC's are not of sufficient Density to be made into 1GB modules. Unless you wanted a double high, double wide module :eek: ;)

I'd take a double high module if it worked :D

The TCC5 is hard to find an TCCD is available, so....why not? :toast:

My OCZ Platinum Rev 2's do 1:1 and 304 (608 mhz) --- (haven't tried higher) at 2.5-4-4-7-1t at 2.66V rev 1.1. . Note, this slack timing I just chose because I was pressed for time. I probably can get 2.5-4-3-6-1t just fine or somewhere in that area. Memtest86+ stable for hours.

TCC5? :)

where to buy this new tccd platinium modules?

Wait a week or so...

Heh makes sense :)

I honestly doubt prices will go up. The retail outlets don't much care what chips are on the memory. They only care about the cost. The marketing/sales types must be golfing today, cause I can't find them to ask. ;) :slap:

ah so that's the reason for the change :)

Great to hear, but bad for me. Just RMA'd my TCCD plat. rev 2's like 2 weeks ago and got TCC5 back. Bummer. :(

~charlie

Just some FYI: The TCC5 RMA's are being filled with existing RMA stock. So if you RMA with TCC5 you may get TCC5 back. Have no regrets as the TCC5 does just as well. :)

hi;
ocz platinum rev v1.0 or v1.1 which version is better ? I think v1.1 (tcc5) better than v1.0 ??

If you mean PC3200 Platinum Rev2 v1.0 or v1.1, they both do 2-2-2 timings at 200 and will run the same timings at higher speeds. Since they are on the bottom of the "food chain" so to speak, they likely will not clock as high as our PC4200 and PC4800 Platinum or 4800 Platinum Elite Edition products, due to the binning process.

Predicting final speeds is impossible.

Hi Andy ,

Just bought a stick 3200 Rev2 to replace a defective Geil TCCD one.

Allow me to post some initial single channel results :
2-2-2-5 218Mhz 2,73vdimm link
2-3-2-5 not tested yet
2-3-3-5 245Mhz 2,73vdimm link
2,5-3-3-5 280Mhz 2,6vdimm link
2,5-3-3-5 293Mhz 2,73vdimm link
2,5-4-3-5 300Mhz 2,73vdimm link
2,5-4-3-5 315Mhz 2,73vdimm link

It's single channel but I'm really impressed... I'm running PC5000 speeds stable with this PC3200 Ram :slobber: Should be good for 300+Mhz in dual channel

Only problem now it doesn't play nice in dual channel mode ,together with my (working) Geil TCCD stick. The Geil TCCD needs 2,8+vdimm :slapass:
This one likes 2,6-2,73vdimm so it seems. Together it's BSOD galore

I guess I'll have to get me an OCZ platinum PC4800 stick to match this one :D The PC4800 platinum should be good for 300 2,5-3-3-5 and low vdimm , no?

Anyway , OCZ pc3200 REV2 is awesome stuff

Great results!

Always match your memory. If you get the PC4800, you might have an issue running the unmatched OCZ sticks. Get another PC3200 Rev 2 from the same store. ;)

thanks for the tip ,Andy.
I'll get another PC3200 rev2 stick , hopefully it's as good as this one.
