Packaging:::...
I
know you don't care about the packaging but cut me a little
slack here, there's only so many paragraphs of text you
can write on a pair of memory modules!
As
is now comon for memory, they come packed securely in your
typical semi-rigid blister-pack. OCZ's corporate orange
colour is supplied by the card insert that proudly shows
off some of their plaudits on the rear.
Also
on the front, though hardly in monster-sized fonts, is OCZ's
lifetime warrant promise.

You
better go dig out some gloves before you handle these beauties
(no, I won't sink low enough to make a joke out of that
last remark!).
These
modules come decked out in mirror-smooth tin-plated real
copper heat spreaders that add that ultimate touch of class.
I don't in all honesty subscribe to the notion that heat
spreader do much, if anything, to aid cooling of the chips
other than to perhaps even out any hotspots a little, but
without a doubt they look better, they're easier and safer
to handle and they're more likely to survive a fall. On
that basis give me heat spreaders every time.
The
heat spreaders are affixed using adhesive double-sided thermal
tape and a pair of spring retaining clips are fitted to
each module for added security. The OCZ logo is pressed
into the surface which a nice touch and clearly rubs a little
salt into the wounds of those manufacturers who opt for
generic, mass-market aluminium heat spreaders on their modules.

Okay,
so we now know what it is and what it looks like, so perhaps
it's time to see what it can do!
