OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 4GB - Review

[warrominator]

i don't know that much about laptops or computers but can i put it in my fujitsu siemens amilo d7830? it has pentium 4 and the guy i bought it from said that it did 2.8 ghz. will it work with 2 x 2gb of modules?

[rockhopper123452]

hey um i got a old pentuum 4 and i want it to run really fast (im useing a i5 at the moment) but i want to know if i add a i7 processor can i add more ram than 2 gb's?

[bomberfun1]

What set would you recommend for AMD Phenom XII 555? What is the difference between DDR2, DDR3, 1600, PC3 12800, higher PC3 and lower PC3, or even PC2?

[EliteGhost001]

Well I just ordered a tripple channel kit for my pc. I've got 12GB A-DATA gaming series RAM right now and it sucks balls. Nothing but BSoDs and I've tried everything to fix it. Even 3x2 GB won't work. it's always code 0x0000001A or, when I forget to change the voltage after over or downclocking: 0x00000050... I'fed up with it. I hope these guys will do the job.

[baddagger159]

will this work for i3?

[wolfpackflt670]

when i overclock my cpu my ram goes to 11,11,11,28 why is this?

[zx169]

Today I bought 6 sticks (for tri channel 12GB total) of OCZ with clock speed of 686 at 1.65 volts. Would you know what voltage to set it to? Or is it the same as yours?

[chubbsmaloyHD]

hey i have a question why do people put in 2 video cards if so why and what does it do

[EliteGhost001]

@chubbsmaloyHD

Well when a videocard creates the image you see on the screen, it can get pretty busy in its GPU. Sometimes the card can't cope with the amount of data it needs to process. Which is why, for the more demanding games, Gfx cards manufacturers have invented Crossfire and SLI. What it does, it deviding the data amongst more cards (often 2). So you've got 2 GPUs showing you your game which often gives better framerates and allowes you to play most games on their best video quality.

[EliteGhost001]

@chubbsmaloyHD

Do keep in mind that it will never give you a 100% increase since the software which devides the data is never optimal. But its getting closer. On the other hand, the GPU's are getting so fast that its hardly nescessary to get 2 graphics cards. This 4890 for example already has 2 GPU's if I'm not mistaking.. And I've got 2 XfX 5870 2GB in crossfire. Its overkill.. but it works like a charm. its basicly for the non-hippy gamers amungst us who don't care about the electrical bill

[Sn0okkz]

i want to buy 4gb OCZ 1333 ram but its says : made for i5 and i7 (i have amd x4 core)

will it work?

[PCWizKid]

@Sn0okkz OCZ has other memory kits that work on AMD systems better. This kit will still work, however I would look at the OCZ site for specific kits that you know they say work for both Intel and AMD.

[zvegasz]

I want that comp.

[nemcsabesz]

I have a problem.

If i set this to 1600MHz 7-7-7-24 on 1.7V, my computer will bluedieing, but 1333MHz 6-6-6-20 on 1.7V is good.

I have a Phenom II 550 @X4 B50 3.7GHz CPU, and GIGABYTE GA-770TA-UD3 motherboard.

My english is bad, but anyone can help me?

[EliteGhost001]

@nemcsabesz

yes, I can: don't put it on 1600Mhz..

You won't notice a performance increase anyway. 1333Mhz with CL on 6-6-6-20 is very nice.

[bobbycat711]

i have hot ram OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Signature Series Red Low Voltage Dual Channel

(4x2) 8 gb i going get 2 more ram then have 16 gb ram OCZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BassPounderX]

WTF 300 fps can the amd x4 penom 2 do that i wana get it but im not sure if i wana get x6

[acefilms2008]

i have these except @ 1333MHz, and im sorry to say these are fail sticks.... i am never buying OCz ram again! their keyboard pwns, their coolers are also pwn, but NEVER BUY OCz RAM!

[acefilms2008]

@acefilms2008 they are probably defective, but memtest says zip... im getting ram related BSOD all the time

[RKProduktions]

Ordered two of the 4GB kits made for AMD

[MeddizzleMan]

why is it that ddr2 ram generally have faster latency speed compared to ddr3, my old ocz platinum ddr2 ran at 4-4-4, while my new platinum ocz 2gb run at 7-7-7

[Exoime]

I bought the OCZ 4 gig pack,,at 1600 mhz..CL 7

[noobsyb0t]

Can I use these for a 'Intel Motherboard'?!.

[ylulnlulsYx1]

If ur motherboard supports ddr3 1600mhz. Of course!!

[PCWizKidsTechTalk]

yes you can

[SteelCity1981]

Amd's coming out with a quad channel for it's up and coming hexa core cpu

[fatboyuk3]

hexa core cpu kick ass all the server at work have dem now

[halfpol]

xD lol

[halfpol]

AMD com 6 core CPU based on Opteron

[1mper1alGuardsMen]

based on phenom II ^^

Phenom II x6

[halfpol]

quad channel for memory ? :O

Crazy)

[testdirver]

hi the kits are tri channel doesnt work with amd boards because another option for me is bought a tri channel viper and not use the 3 dimm this is for a ecs a790gxm-ad3

[repsyka]

hey there, please answer to my question.

can i use this memory on my GA p55-ud3r and i5 proc? u said its for AMD and i've red some stuff on forums that i5 requires memory to be exactly 1.65V coz of the overheating! is that true ?! thx

[TheMRamstaff]

they have i5 edition if u beive that it has something special for amd :)) ut in principle u can install it

[ChristyTV]

Yes, this memory was designed for Intel's 1156 processors, NOT AMD!

[jaime4i]

can i still use the platinum edition not built for amd, but for intel i7 or i5? the dual channel kit...

[1981z28camaro]

what does the last number mean? 24 (7-7-7-24) thnx

[DRocker45]

but doesnt the amd processor suck

[blackendheart1s]

this is the best 5 STARS

[tredecker]

i have order exact these ram memory but the 6gb kit to my m4aa79t deluxe and X4 955 BE :)

[PCWizKid]

@tredecker , carefull you dont want to accidentally get the Triple channel version which is for the Intel Core i7 boards. Make sure you got Dual Channel DDR3

[TheMRamstaff]

u compared 4gb to 2gb?

is that more useless?

[PCWizKid]

@TheMRamstaff, you missed the point. I showed how it made a little difference only in using 4GB of this OCZ ram compared to a 2GB at higher latencies. That means that you can get the same performance with 2GB of other better rated DDR2.

[maxnanabas09]

i got the 1066 cl5 2x2gb dual channel version

im doing some settings in my bios because my mems are not stable yet

[GRiZLOC]

I have the OCZ DDR3 1600MHz Platinum EB edition. Very nice quality memory from OCZ...

[JerrYReaPPer]

the newest its ocz with 2000 mhz :)

[AndyPlissken]

will the amd edition work on a intel mobo (ex: p5q3) ?

sockets are the same...

[expertmax1]

Of course... It's for marketing purposes.

[maticoff]

gush, this must be expensive. LOL!

[ghettoninja69er]

you can get 3 x 2gb ocz platinums for 100 off newegg

[naebklang]

can i juse that for a ddr2 ???

[kidowner]

dude ddr2 and ddr3 are different things so you cant add them in a DDR2 slot

[AJSokrates]

no there arent many differents between DDR2 and DDR3.

DDR3 is faster but there are motherboard who have DDR3 slot and DDR2 but there are often suck.

[Zayras7]

<3 OCZ, good vid

[kiojose]

i need help please, i just got the MSI 790FX with a phenom x4 3.0ghz, but i don't know what type of ram should i put. i'm planning to get the Crucial Ballistix Tracer 4GB DDR3 any recommendations thank you.

[stealthe10]

Buy the OCZ Reaper or platinum and if you got enough to spend buy the blade.

[kidowner]

check the motherboard guide and see what DDR ur using :)

[shawty546]

omg i need that my vista ia only 1.00 gb ram

[kidowner]

:O.. i wonder how u even run vista

[shawty546]

its still possible gawsh

[kidowner]

lol? i installed vista on 3GB!! and it was slow as hell.

[shawty546]

Well idk im using it right now o.o pretty fast o.o maybe just ur internet i got att dsl highspeed

[kidowner]

internet doesnt have to do with that.

[AJSokrates]

might you have DDR2?

[kidowner]

yea i have DDR2 667mhz

[yeti6593]

dang it, this won't run on a mobo with crossfire x... :( the mobos out only do 1333mhz...

any recommendations for ram on an AMD phenom II 955 black/ATi CrossfireX system? (must be 1333mhz unless you know something I don't)

thanks! :)

[PCWizKid]

@yeti6593 , 1333Mhz is fine, in some cases you can increase the timings on a 1333Mhz RAM to be faster than a 1600 at default timings so dont worry about it. The difference isnt that great anyways.

[yeti6593]

(lol sry i totally forgot to mention that they only support 1333mhz NOT OC'd!)

i was looking at the MSI 790FX and it does 1333mhz non oc'd, but goes to 1600, 1800 and (wierd i know...) 2133mhz max

but ive never oc'd ram, only CPUs and GPUs

any pointes/tips?

[099psp]

hey man how do you edit your videos (what software) Thanks!!!

[danthaman7777]

u got four vc's?

[chrhadden]

nice review,i needed that advice

[VLADKO164]

intel better than amd

[prostar2236]

Agreed!

[MovieMakingFan99]

cool nice reviews i need this ram its cool and efficient!!!

[Hoobes1]

is there anything else that is similar to cpuz? it says that it doesn't work with my cpu =(

[MovieMakingFan99]

yeah just watch this video  watch?v=Z0lBh3wYHoQ&feature=ch­annel_page

[Hoobes1]

thanks! =)

[moonstarmac]

Would you recommend this RAM or the OCZ Platinum DDR 12800 1600 regular? According to the advertised clocks I've seen its 7-6-6-20.

4GB of course.

[455898334]

1:16 nice rhyming

[MovieMakingFan99]

i know he repeted the video card twice!!!

[iPostiPodiEatiYuri]

lol

[DirtyMidgetStudios]

What kind of monitor are you using?

[godof2moons]

geeks

[GuItArWiZerD612]

If you think that then why are you watching videos from PCWizKid?

[emperorgrant]

asshole

[bigandrew94]

great job

[xpgek]

lol i only have 1.6gb

[Kossrifle]

I don't care about what it looks like just that it works.

[Bpslave]

nice, I went with G skill 4gbs @8-8-8-21- 1.65v, cost about $60.00..thanks for the video WIZ

[naryanr]

1600MHz is not as high as it goes, i don't know why he says that here.

[PCWizKid]

@naryanr , your right, you can overclock it even further depending on your system and if its stable for you, however it is rated to 1600 as per the manufacturer.

[TheAdroitKid]

love the videos! Hey what video editing software do you use?

[peter80000]

this is so out of my league... im still using ddr1 on my desktop and laptop... old school guy, lol...

good review as always pcwizkid

[critter2324]

what is overclocking

[MiniStew2]

boosting the speed of your gpu above what it should

[abdullahamir]

nice video dude

[SeikoPsycho]

1333 7

[pcandcargeek28]

nice vid pcwizkid

[Harnernikinoah]

Hey how do you edit your video? With wich programm and how do you get this Icons in every video?

[DesktopBuilder]

This is the stuff I'm using, except for I'm using 6gb of it. Does the job well, plus it's cheap.

I'm running mine at 7-7-7-20 (undertiming)

[hahabendover]

he replyed to that after i posted that lol

[Branhower1]

Stability is a handy feature.

[coijoi]

cool

[shirke01]

PCWizkids can you please show us how to overclock GA-MA790FXT-UD5P MB step by step.

[xhaku2121x]

It RAM.

[PS3andPCgamereviews]

looks like good ram. that ram is like $59 or $69 on newegg..

[Dudex58]

Nice I wish I had those babies make the interior of pc look like like a chrome engine,very nice.

[NewJerseyTico]

whach all his vid..

u'll learn alot...

[CRAKIZGOOD]

AMD fanboy FTW

[LeetKrew090]

agree AMD fanboy FTW

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

These look pretty good but OCZ Reaper FTW

[ikcti]

OCZ's pretty good :) I think for Core i7 the max. voltage is 1.65v so that may be a little high..

[Sha1dov]

That is true, but AMD systems have a very hard time getting past 1800mhz. AMD systems can get high clocks and low latencies due to being able to use up to 2.4v(it goes higher, but it's dangerous), and Intel can get higher speeds, but can't get good latencies at those really high speeds.

[m3030078]

how do u get all the money to do this?

[arnarXx]

the dudes that make the hardware give him it.....lucky bastard :P

[Tsmith490]

Youtube Partner program Gives You 10$ every 1,000 view

[cusinndzl]

I am pretty sure that they will give you money if they click on the advertisements too.

[McParcero]

i have this ocz ram but in gold edition .. n they are great .. BTW great review..

[MajinFrahma]

Awesome review. OCZ freaking rules.

[badjoj015]

How much is that?

[meanameen]

man how can u afford all this cool shit

[beardfreak1969]

The hardware manufacturers most likely supply him for the reviews.

[mastersniper13]

sweet video.

i have a question,

will an asus m3n72-d nvidia nforce 750a mobo

and amd phenom 2 x4 810 2.6ghz

work with kingston hyperx ddr2 1066?

[mastersniper13]

also it is 4gb (2x 2gb)

[PCWizKid]

@mastersniper13 As long as you get for your board PC2-5300 , PC2-6400 or PC2-8500 DDR2 you are ok.

[mastersniper13]

thanks.

[pjwithbread8]

not bad, fits in tight spaces.

[chivasgeek741]

1:48

is That a CRT monitor.

[PCWizKid]

@chivasgeek741 , yes I have both LCD and CRT connected to my PC's.

[chivasgeek741]

cool i have a copule too. but i was surprised knowing that you always get top of the line.

[Clevesoccerboi]

crt can run 1080p too

[ZinayH]

I love OCZ Memory!

Thanks for the video!

[PCWizKid]

@ZinayH , thanks for watching

[ZinayH]

You have always made amazing reviews from the start!

Keep it up!

[CompHelp20]

Awesome video :-D

[sccandudz]

man

your machine must kick ass

[n11lc]

I believe no company has yet designed a machine that can kick a persons ass, I'm sure it's possible, but I don't see the point in manufacturing such a machine.

[scorpiaflame]

WoW

[chivasgeek741]

lol
