OCZ PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4GB Memory Kit Review
Bjorn3D has posted a review of the OCZ PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4GB memory kit.
Here’s what they had to say:
“Based on our tests, we can see that at 800MHz, the OCZ Reaper is definitely not the fastest memory available due to its higher latency. If you do not plan to overclock your system, it would be wise to purchase an 800MHz with tighter timing for a cheaper price. However, what the OCZ Reaper brings to the table is that it is guaranteed to work at 1066MHz at 2x2GB dual channel mode, and it can easily achieve 2.1V. Despite the fact that it may not have the highest overclock result, it still yields a fairly respectable result of 1120MHz. What is great about these sticks is that they are capable of running at the given speed and overclocked speed of 1120MHz at low voltage of 2.15V (well within OCZ's warranty specification), so you can safely overclock it and still maintain the warranty.”
This is a very good product, not only does it require less voltage than its competitors, it is also one of the cheapest 4GB PC2-8500 memory kits on the market. What’s not to like?
