 | Today, here's again an overclocking review of some High-End DDR2 memory modules.
The new OCZ PC2-8500 2GB Reaper HPC edition DDR2 RAM looks extraordinarily good and
offers high overclocking, thanks to the excellent heatpipe cooling.
OCZ permits the users to operate the modules with up to 2.35 V without loosing the OCZ
Lifetime Warranty and this Vmem should be enough to achieve very good overclocking results.
If you like to know if the memory is also well overclockable with the default 1.80 Volt and
what you're able to expect with an voltage increasment higher than 2.30 Volt,
you shouldn't miss this review.
All memory test results can be compared with all previously tested memory modules
in the benchmark chart.

 | The company Crucial offers high performance PC2-8500, PC2-8000, PC2-6400 and
PC2-5300 memory modules, but they also provide several inexpensive DDR2 alternatives like e.g. the PC2-4200 modules.
The high performance series of Crucial has been already reviewed and overclocked
on ocinside.de, so it's time to write an overclocking review about the latest 2GB PC2-4200 kit.
This Crucial DDR2-533 memory kit supports the ECC (error correction code) feature,
which is particularly very important for servers.
In this review you'll see if and how high the current PC2-4200 Crucial RAM with ECC can be overclocked.

 | The new Foxconn N5M2AA-EKRS2H is an inexpensive solution for overclocker and all-rounder.
Although the nVidia nForce 4 chipset is meanwhile somewhat outdated, Foxconn developed
a good alternative to the latest Socket AM2 chipsets with this relaunch.
Because beside a good basic equipment the board offers several overclocking options and
was overclocked up to 300 MHz reference clock during the test.
All strengths and weaknesses of the Foxconn WinFast motherboard will be shown in the review
and can be compared in the overview with more than 25 AMD Athlon 64 motherboards.

 | Mushkin shows with their current XP2-8500 DDR2-1066 memory modules that it's possible
to get high performance for low cost.
Because ocinside.de was able to overclock an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Socket AM2 CPU to
approx. 3000 MHz and the enormously high memory overclocking up to 600 MHz (DDR2-1200)
was an important factor for these results.
If you're using a DDR2 motherboard with some overclocking options,
you shouldn't miss this Mushkin XP2-8500 Review.

I don't hold any responsibility for any damage caused by overclocking.
There is always a risk of damaging your hardware.
And your warranty becomes void if you overclock something.
