Sunnyvale, CA—February 21, 2008—OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, today announced two new Reaper HPC solutions for enthusiasts upgrading to next generation of cutting-edge platforms. The PC3-10666 Reaper HPC Series is available in both 2GB and 4GB dual channel kits to meet the specific needs of customized gaming systems or workstations, offering perfect compatibility with the latest platforms and chipsets at a price that will be attractive to upgraders with a specific budget in mind.

With the high frequencies of DDR3 comes added heat that can damage the module’s sensitive ICs. To ensure superior stability and performance over the entire life of the modules, the Reaper HPC Series makes use of an innovative cooling solution to more effectively dissipate heat produced by high-speed memory. The thermo-conductive copper heat pipe conduit is ideal for overclocking where every degree matters, making certain that your cutting-edge investment will maintain its integrity throughout the toughest gaming missions, overclocking, or intense program applications.

“DDR3 has gained the undisputed edge as a performance-leading solution in computer memory, yet extreme performance comes at a price,” commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology at OCZ Technology. “However, with the general trend of DDR3 prices declining, lower speed grades of DDR3 are about to reach price parity with high-end DDR2, allowing the user to embrace the new memory standard within a reasonable budget. Particularly for those who upgrade their systems one component at the time, the new DDR3-1333 Reaper kits are a perfect match, delivering the fundamental performance benefits of the DDR3 architecture in a heatpipe-based thermal management solution while keeping the path open for any future upgrade to extreme performance components.”

The PC3-10666 Reaper HPC Series will be available in 4GB (2x2048MB) and 2GB (2x1024MB) Dual Channel Kits, and are rated at a blazing 1333MHz at CL 6-6-6. Although the OCZ Reaper HPC series can meet all enthusiast demands, this high-capacity, high performance memory offers DDR3 upgraders an excellent standard of memory without paying the premiums associated with top-rated modules. As part of OCZ’s line-up of premium memory, Reaper HPC PC3-10666 modules are backed by a Lifetime Warranty and industry-leading technical support so you can push your high-performance memory to its limit.

With an excellent balance of high density, high speeds, and tight timings, the DDR3 Reaper HPC Series will future-proof your system with its performance and stability for years to come.
