[Review] OCZ Gold (2×4GB) PC3-10666 Low Voltage Memory Kit1 Comment By ChewcloseAuthor: ChewName: Brian McLachlan Email: wmdieselmc26@cox.net Site:http:// About:See Authors Posts (8) on September 28, 2010
Recently the good folks at OCZ sent us out another set of budget minded RAM to review. This particular set is interesting due to the fact that it is an 8GB kit, but not the commonly found 4×2GB combinations that we typically see in enthusiast forums. This particular set is opposite in the sense that it’s just two modules, each of 4GB density for a total of 8GB, allowing for the possibility of up to 16GB should a user so choose. Based on the rather conservative specs of CL9-9-9 and 133...

Not to long ago G.Skill sent us there flagship set of DDR3 memory specifically tuned for the AMD platform. Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule we are a little late to the party, but better late than never right? What this delay did allow me to do was to scan forum results, however, and one thing I noticed was that nobody was willing to show prime 95 stable results for any real length of time, which create a little skepticism for me. With that said, I believe it’s time to put this skeptic...
[Review] Crucial Ballistix (2×2GB) DDR3 1600MHz w/ Thermal Sensor4 Comments By ChewcloseAuthor: ChewName: Brian McLachlan Email: wmdieselmc26@cox.net Site:http:// About:See Authors Posts (8) on September 1, 2010
Recently we received a new memory kit from Crucial that is part of their Ballistix line. We decided to test this kit on the AMD platform to see how they would fare. Considering that AMD can be picky with certain modules, we found this particular set quite interesting. Let’s take a closer look shall we?
Based on the target consumer and price range of these modules, we decided against testing with SuperPi 32m and instead opted to test ultimate stability using Prime 95 (Blend) for a minimu...

Introduction
Recently the good folks at OCZ sent us a set of budget ram to review.
Now I know most of you hardcore overclocker’s are saying “pfft…” however, with budget RAM sometimes and often many times there can be found diamond’s in the rough.
With that said, let’s see what you get.
As we can see, the packaging is simple as to be expected with a budget set of memory.
The platform we chose to test these sticks today consists of the following.

I was recently offered a choice by a certain individual……
You take the blue pill and it’s over, you wake up tomorrow and continue life as you know it and you believe what you want to believe.
You take the Green pill and I show you a world you never could have imagined in your wildest dreams where limits and boundaries are meant to be broken.
I obviously chose the Green pill
I will save the long drawn out speech for after the results…..So lets get right to the results...
OCZ PC3-12800 1600LVAM4GK AMD Optimized Kit Reviewed!11 Comments By ChewcloseAuthor: ChewName: Brian McLachlan Email: wmdieselmc26@cox.net Site:http:// About:See Authors Posts (8) on May 19, 2009
I recently received a specially tuned set of ram for the AM3 platform from OCZ Technology.
What this means is they are guaranteed to work on your AM3 platform and users do not have to buy an extra stick of ram in a 3×2g kit that may or may not work well at rated speeds and or timings.
Essentially, OCZ was nice enough to cater to the AMD crowd and take the guess work out of the equation for AMD users.
The stars of the review.

G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI DDR II Reviewed on AM2+1 Comment By ChewcloseAuthor: ChewName: Brian McLachlan Email: wmdieselmc26@cox.net Site:http:// About:See Authors Posts (8) on May 18, 2009
I recently received a set of G.Skill F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI DDR2 to test out on AMD’s AM2+ platform. According to G.Skill, each kit is hand selected from the batch and represent G.Skill’s highest bin Powerchip IC. Exciting… =)
I’m not very big on chit chat so lets get right to the testing after seeing a shot of the ram.
System Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
Asus M4A79 Deluxe

The way you will see me do reviews here will differ from the norm. You will never see me do a review at stock speeds…..There are plenty of review sites that already do that……What I do is start where they leave off, the overclocked and extreme overclocked results……Reviews for Overclockers by Overclockers.
If a product line has a prior known weakness I will exploit it, in this case Gigabyte’s AMD boards have not been to ram clocking friendly so I decided to put...
