well m8 i dont know , i only ever bought some pc180 ram from you guys and was so fu*****ing pissed off that it didnt do 150 at cas 3 even... But i suppose thats back in the day.

I only use ADATA now.. vitesta 500 does 590 cas2.5-3-4-0-1T so im happy

[skate2snow]

so adata did vitesta 600 and you followed like ... a year later ? come on m8
OCZ aint that special , there are 10 other brands that produce pretty much the same stuff

Beleive me, it is true that OCZ as been copied MANY times.....

When we started using the 808 no one else was, we also released DDR600 a year ago although next to no boards and CPU's could do the FSB. I remember trying to get an MSI to run 300+ at CEBIT with ram i had running well over 300 with an Asus P4c800e, the cpu was a P4M that runs 311fsb at 1.5v air cooled all day.

I have a feeling its more like 18 months with the BP PCB, Ryan will know more as he decided to switch to it...it was shortly after the 3700gold rev1, we were testing 4000gold with Hynix BTD43 from what i remember and we were using a pretty funky HP PCB that worked well on asus but not much else. I remember the first modules i got on the PCB were running 297fsb with the mobile 2.5-4-4-5...i should still have em here some where.

:grr: OCZ has by far the best customer support in the business, and besides that they make the best type of pretty much every memory, their UTT is the best UTT, their BH-5 was the best BH-5, their Hynix is the best Hynix, the only arguable thing is whether GSkill TCCD is better, besides that there is absolutely no reason not to buy OCZ memory.

interesting, but what i remember is that when i was looking to buy ddr600 modules in october 2004 the only company that had anything remotely next to ddr600 modules was Twinmos with teh ddr566 twister, of course i stand to be corrected

yeah m8 I disagree with you and want to be rude to you i have had numerous sticks of Geil and Adata rams which have performed better than any ocz i have *tested*, i have only ever bought it once and i shall not do it again, considering how expensive it is compared to anything else. Come on... 1Gb of Vitesta 600 is 227$

I have always appreciated them taking care of their consumers (somethign that they did not do back five years ago, not that youd know of course, considering why probably did not know what memory was then), but the price we have to pay is too inflated

[death metal]

nice info....am slowly liking OCZ back again =)...

How can you call OCZ too expensive when for $150 you can get 1GB of Value VX which people are getting around 240 2-2-2-5 with

cool but
1) My board allows up to 3.4V (with Vmod)
2) My cpu runs at 340X8 , i dont want my memory to run at 240

dude voodoo, you're in the wrong thread

Half the issue with the price in the uK is not our fault m8, in the US sales are volume over markup...in the UK its markup over volume. I know this as i questioned gibbo on pricing on his forum and was instantly banned.

We are working hard to drive prices down in the UK and the EU, we are a growing company and you will see changes soon.

Regarding what happened 5 years ago...thats long gone bud, the only place that keeps rearing its head is on another well know forum where they chose to live in the past.Infact im just about to RMA a guy here in the UK who 2 years ago never recieved his replacement module from a well know online reseller. He only wanted a 256 module but will end up with a dual channel kit...

You have to admit thats customer service! I don't see any other company looking after customers like this.

[cadaveca]

We only use BP PCB pretty much and have done for well over a year now. Remember we were pretty much the first to do so and all others have followed.

when did you start using the BP pcb?

well m8 i have to say that i am very happy when someone responds maturely to this perhaps youll c me as a customer very soon the way things are going

thanks very much and about gibbo, hes an outright &^#^ (sorry for that) and ive had many dealings with him and defective products

[Tony]

when did you start using the BP pcb?

probably around 18 to 20 months ago or so

[pythagoras]

Lets not let this thread nosedive please. There is no need to flame, use bad language(however disguised). Forum rules are being bent if not broken.

Lets all show some maturity

Regards

John.

would you attribute it to the increased performance of other modules over the jedec spec, or is it just luck of the draw? Is it the PCB which allows the use of high voltage, or the chips themselves?

Look at reviews/roundups, OCZ with the BP PCB was winning right from the BTD43 days.

it took Nate on Legit Reviews to point this out to corsair and now even they use it...LOL

[ed.howell]

Trust me you won't be disappointed!! From my personal dealings with OCZ and their products I won't buy anything else

Great news... I'd have a problem chosing between 4000VX and 3200Gold 2-2-2 though

[ryanpgroovy]

ok guys .. I just want to put an end to the weird stuff in the thread , so hopefully this will fix it

I am glad that people like to buy Memory from our fine Taiwanese based competitors , they surely can make things cheaper that we can here in the US.

I wont argue about our products consistently outperformour competitors , because I surely can not convince everyone that is the case , no matter how much I beleive it or how much we strive for it.


But , short of any problem years ago , OCZ has become known as the company with the best service and warranty.. if you dont like service and you dont like warranty , then OCZ is not for you .

If warranty and service are your highest concern , take a look at titanium series , which has lifetime advanced replacement warranty



If you support OCZ becuase we firmly support the overclocking community , and our CEO is a Mad Overclocker ... then we are glad to have your business and will go any length to make sure your satsified with our product

Oh and BTW .. if you have that old PC-180 ( from the old days ) that doesnt work right , email me at ryan@ocztechnology.com , and I will make sure you get one of our new products as a free upgrade , just to make up for lost time :-)

Same here. Just about to order the 4000VX and now have to think about ot

[HiJon89]

lol, this is pretty funny the way people are going back and forth on the 4000VX, first a couple people only got 255 2-2-2-5 and some people got mad and didn't want it, then someone got 265 2-2-2-5 and then a lot of people wanted it, finally OCZ mentions more BH memory and some people don't know if they should've gotten the VX

Good god almighty. That is unbelievable customer support. Hey I have purchased alot of RAM from you guys. Can I have a job?
