OCZ

OCZ sent us two kits that belong to two categories. Below are the technical specifications for the modules:

Model PC2-5400 EL Special Ops Edition
OCZ2SOE6672GK
PC2-6400 Platinum Revision 2
OCZ2P800R22GK
Package

Kit 2x1Gb

Timings 4-4-4-12 4-4-4-15
Operating Frequency DDR2-667 DDR2-800
Model 1.9 1.9 - 2.1
Product Info Link Link

Again, OCZ uses standard plastic for its packaging. Both kits use the unique Platinum Mirrored XTC Heatspreader. The honeycomb heatspreaders are based on OCZ’s latest design and supposedly allow for increased ventilation and heat dissipation. The Platinum Edition also comes certified for use with ATI Crossfire Technology. Aesthetically, the heatspreaders are pleasing, especially the Special Ops Edition which uses a unique camouflage design.

As is customary with OCZ products, both kits come with a lifetime guarantee and extended voltage protection which allows the modules to handle voltages up to 2.2V ±5% and still be covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

Maximum Clock Frequency, timings 4-4-4-12

Model PC2-5400 EL Special Ops Edition
OCZ2SOE6672GK
PC2-6400 Platinum Revision 2
OCZ2P800R22GK
Max Frequency [MHz] 350 445
Voltage [V] 2.10 2.10

In spite of the quality heatspreaders and aesthetical features, we were not able to reach very special overclocks with the OCZ kits. The maximum frequency we were able to reach was only an improvement of 5% and 11%.
