OCZ ReaperX HPX 2 * 2GB

[mitch212k]

high street retailer with purple shirts ... GOGOGOGO!

i bought 12gb to, ive took half the heatsink off on mine, fit in then

you did see the heatsinks are only stuck on once you've taken the screws off yes?

If you get that stuff hot they'll fall off and you could have an unfortunate conductivity accident...

Ive got one set of these picking up a cheap set from leicester also.

The sets of ReaperX available at the "indicated store" have timings of 5-4-4-15 indicated on both the box and the ram stickers. Those available here and online are shown as CAS3 rather than CAS5 so there may be an important diffference.

Perhaps OCZ have just rebrended the CAS timings because many Intel chipsets struggle with CAS3 timings. Maybe they use different (inferior) IC's. Either way, my local store had 6 sets on the shelves.

just what i am looking for but out of the country at the moment hope they have some left when i get back!!

 

[Reality|Bites]

Tried to order some but none of there scottish store have any.

I work at (edited name just realised...) lol,

I work in a purple shirt...

Have a fair few kits

 

[neologan]

anyone have a spare kit of these (one of you may have over bought because of the awesome price)

I really want one of these

The modules shown in the picture are a "special" that was done for that particular retailer, they are not from the usual line you see at OCUK.

They are from the same IC you see OCZ modules at OCUK using, only the timings are a little slacker.

Also removing heatspreaders can weaken solder balls, hence cause failures...
Also it removes any warranty.

We do modules in ther Plat and standard Reaper Spreaders that use the same bin as the reaper X, so you can get thinner modules if you need them

 

[neologan]

thanks tony, shame they immediately sold out, i really wanted to grab a pair but they are pretty much impossible to get now.

Were they good for overclocking, please tell me they weren't so i feel better

LOL, I remember posting about these prelaunch and OCZ claimed unlike the normal Reaper that the Heatpipes actually contacted each Ram Chip.

Now those pictures show that not to be true, looks like the parts removed did touch them but not the actual Heatpipe (only the peep above can verify this though).

I have a set of the regular reaper 6400 HPC that do 4-3-3-7 on stock voltage at upto 960MHz... giving 12,000MB/s read speeds on an nForce board heh - for some reason the EPP settings won't take even tho its an nVidia board and 1T doesn't work too well either but on 2T they run fast and tight without even pushing the voltage.

 

[ocztony]

1T is for single sided dimms, 2 ranks =2T unless you throw a lot of voltage at the chipset.

its a chipset architecture thing coupled with the nature of how 1T works.
