OCZ Technology Announces DDR3 Low-Voltage Kits Tailored for Intel LGA-1156 Platform

OCZ Technology Group, Inc., a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, today unveiled low-voltage DDR3 designed specifically for the upcoming Intel P55 Chipset and subsequent Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 (Socket 1156) processors. Configured for dual channel mode, these ultra-compatible 4GB kits ensure optimal performance with an ideal combination of low power requirements and high frequencies.

Developed for cost-conscious enthusiasts and gamers, these new OCZ modules were engineered with the same affordability and performance standards as the new Lynnfield platform. By using sophisticated IC screening methods and qualifying on a variety of motherboards, OCZ low-voltage kits are the perfect complement for the P55 Chipset and choice CPU to deliver the maximum stability. Together, P55 and OCZ memory are the premium option for the midrange desktops.



“OCZ is excited to introduce a complete range of new DDR3 dual channel memory kits that are engineered specifically for Intel’s cutting edge P55 platform,” commented Alex Mei, CMO for the OCZ Technology Group. “These gaming kits make use of high quality hand screened chips to deliver exceptional performance and stability at surprisingly low voltages when paired with the latest Intel processors and chipset.”

“I’m always excited to see the innovation that takes place when Intel’s new performance platforms are introduced into the market. In this case, OCZ & Intel are proud to deliver products that increase system responsiveness at affordable prices,” said Steve R. Peterson, Intel’s Director of Chipset Group Marketing. “The ability for a Do-It-Yourself enthusiast to build a screaming PC and still have money left over to buy some new PC games or Blu-ray videos, makes the upcoming platform introduction a hit for people of all ages.”

OCZ will release the low-voltage dual channel DDR3 kits under the award-winning Platinum and Gold series:

* OCZ DDR3 PC3-15000 Platinum Low Voltage (2x2GB) 9-9-9-27 @ 1.65V
* OCZ DDR3 PC3-15000 Gold Low Voltage (2x2GB) 10-10-10-27 @ 1.65V
* OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Low Voltage (2x2GB) 7-7-7-24 @ 1.65V
* OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Gold Low Voltage (2x2GB) 8-8-8-24 @ 1.65V
* OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Platinum Low Voltage (2x2GB) 7-7-7-20 @ 1.65V
* OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Gold Low Voltage (2x2GB) 9-9-9-20@ 1.65V

OCZ modules are 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and feature propriety XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders for the most effective heat dissipation. Furthermore, each OCZ memory kit is backed by the industry-leading OCZ Lifetime Warranty and technical support for unparalleled peace of mind.

Tenner says that 7-7-7 PC12800 kit can do PC15000 speeds @ 10-10-10.

[LinkinParkBoy]

Yep, its true

[STaRGaZeR]

4GB sticks please

“These gaming kits make use of high quality hand screened chips to deliver exceptional performance and stability at surprisingly low voltages when paired with the latest Intel processors and chipset.”

Are these ICs different than the ICs on the 3x2 kits in any other way than that they were binned and tested?

[mibo]

Since when is 1,65V low voltage for DDR3?

Where are the 2x4GB @1,5V kits?

[tool_462]

WTB Blade heatspreaders on the 7-7-7 PC12800 kit

Since when is 1,65V low voltage for DDR3?

Where are the 2x4GB @1,5V kits?

1.65 is low voltage for good speeds, im on 1.9V and thats what they are comparing it to.


why do we need i5 ram why not just have dual channel kits its not like the i5 and am3 will use different parts

I know! I was like, lol.. wtf.


I want DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800, 7-7-7-18) @ 1.65 ...!

8 gig!

[JohnZS]

Will these work on existing X38/X48 and P45 DDR3 motherboards at lower voltage than the current crop of 1.80/1.90V RAM?
Thanks
John

Yeah, I personally don't see why not...honestly all they probably did was go...hmm, i5 is dual channel...I KNOW! *takes 2 i7 kits, takes out a stick* here- now there's three kits for core i5

[RPGWiZaRD]

YES this was exactly what I was waiting for: OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Low Voltage (2x2GB) 7-7-7-24 @ 1.65V

More of these please! :p

Exactly what they did. And the drooling-type responses I've read here and on other forums about this "announcement" strikes me as funny, especially since every other reputable manufacturer of memory already has triple channel sets of this sort of "new" low-voltage 2GB sticks at these speeds....Mushkin, Corsair, G. Skill, Crucial, Kingston, GeIL, Patriot.

I wonder if the responses will be the same when those companies introduce their "new" low-voltage dual channel sets of DDR3 memory.....which will be simply repackaged triple channel sets, just like OCZ has done here.

I mean, really, the voltage isn't "new" nor are the speed ratings......only thing "new" I see is two sticks packaged together instead of three.

Marketing at its finest!
