Introduction

OCZ has been making quite a name for themselves during the past year or two. They are a company that designs, creates and sells items that are designed specifically for the overclocker. Whether it’s a processor that they guarantee will overclock, or something like today’s review item, they are here for we who like to push our systems to the utter limits.

It’s a good thing that I took the time to test it, though because the results were a huge surprise. I won’t give away results just yet, but you may want to rethink the aluminum sinks for a moment before tossing that idea out of your head.
