The Dr invited me here and asked I post my OC Reports on the dark pages of OCH. As I have always said, ask and ye shall receive. Most of you guys have likely seen what I am posting but if not, welcome to the twisted world of my memory clocking obsession

OCZ has always been a name most of us here recognize but one that seems to have fallen off the radar at the upper end of the benching circles as of late. Maybe it is just me but I don't hear OCZ anymore in the uber benching threads. With high performance i7 triple channel kits in full swing, OCZ has also joined the party at the top. Today I am in the OCZ spot of the 3x2GB PC3-16000 7-8-7 world, also known as Elpida Hyper country.

OCZ has reserved the absolute best of the best to their new Blade series of memory. The Flex EX series doesn't have this kit, the Reaper series doesn't have this kit, only the Blade series offers the 3x2GB PC3-16000 7-8-7 modules that are guaranteed to be Elpida J1108BASE, more recognizable by the single word...Hyper.

For those new to my OC Report's, the first rule of an OC Report is to not call an OC Report a review. The second rule of an OC Report is that it isn't a bloody review. Review's have proper 24/7 stability testing - or at least they should - and stuffy benchmarks that no one here cares about. An OC Report is just that, a report on the overclockability of the product in question. In this case, it will be memory and my overclock of choice will be slightly different from memory OC Reports of past. I will simply be running a single instance of 32M SPi. Reason being, 8x32M SPi is so bloody close to 24/7 in some cases I might as well use Prime Blend or HCI Memtest. So in keeping with the heritage of the OC Report, single 32M SPi stability is all I am asking for from each timing set and voltage.

I want to mention this now, these modules were sent to me directly from OCZ in beautiful Californ-I-A for review. I know nothing other than that. If you want to complain about these being a cherry picked kit, search for an OCZ rep here and fill their inbox, not mine. OCZ has never given me a reason to believe I receive anything but random retail samples in the past, and no reason to start now. I believe in full disclosure so there you have it...and you didn't even have to twist my arm. The mainstream review without my foul language, offensive demeanor, or blatant insults can be found at HardwareCanucks.com in due time.
