OCZ Platinium PC3-12800

OCZ 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Low-Voltage Triple Channel

Here at Tech-Reviews we’ve unfortunately never had the chance to review any desktop memory kits. However, whilst spec’ing up the components for our new i7 test rig an email suddenly dropped in my inbox from OCZ as they wanted to send us some OCZ Platinum DDR3 memory for review. After taking a look at the specifications and features of the memory, it seemed to be the perfect kit for an i7 rig – their website confirmed this with it stated that they’re designed and optimized specifically for i7 processors. Boasting speeds of 1600 MHz, low voltage requirements and very good latencies, these DDR3 memory sticks certainly look good on paper. So I welcome you to Tech-Reviews’ first memory review where we hope to find out if this DDR3 OCZ Platinum memory kit is up to scratch. The OCZ PC3-12800 triple-channel memory kits are designed specifically for the Intel® Core™ i7 processor / Intel® X58 Express Chipset. Optimized for the Core i7’s triple channel mode, these new 3GB, 6GB, and 12GB kits ensure optimal performance via an ideal combination of low voltage requirements, speed, and latency.
