Last July we had looked at the Reaper HPC DDR2 memory from OCZ
Technology, which not only was clocked well for its time with a memory
frequency of DDR2-1066MHz, supported NVIDIA's EPP (Enhanced Performance
Profiles), and boasted OCZ's admirable lifetime warranty with EVP
(Extended Voltage Protection), but it was the first model to bring forth
their next-generation patent-pending memory heatspreaders. The Reaper
HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit) cooling solution is made up of normal
heatspreaders attached to the ICs, but bonded to the top of that is a
single copper heatpipe in a loop that passes through an aluminum fin
array. We were pleased by both the cooling and memory performance with
the Reaper HPC, but OCZ Technology didn't stop there in their quest to
deliver 110% customer satisfaction. OCZ has taken their Reaper HPC
design to the next level by strapping on two copper heatpipes, ensuring
that each memory IC is in direct contact with one of these
thermo-conductive pipes, and greatly increasing the size of the aluminum
fin array. This newest memory cooling solution is known as ReaperX HPC
and can be found on the PC2-6400 ReaperX HPC EB 4GB dual channel kit,
which we are reviewing today.
