Introduction to the OCZ Black Edition DDR3 1600MHz
We have reviewed many OCZ DDR3 memory since they were first introduced. Believe it or not, all of them have been aimed at Intel chip sets. Today things have changed. We finally got a chance to look at something for the AMD guys out there--often looked at as the ‘Red’ guys. Keeping that in mind, the new set of DDR3 from OCZ is labeled ‘Black’. Got to love the usage of the word “Black’ in the name of many PC components these days.
The new OCZ AMD Black Edition is aimed at the die-hard AMD fan who wants something configured just for them and these modules are. These sticks can be simply optimized with the AMD’s OverDrive application and overclocked through the same app. We will be taking a set of Black memory and a Black processor through our typical courses just to see what they have in them.
OCZ take on the Black Edition DDR3
OCZ’s AMD Black Edition is tested and qualified specifically for AMD’s latest “Black Edition” CPUs for ultimate performance and stability. Featuring the unique AMD “OverDrive™” (AOD) specification, users can unleash the remote stored profiles directly from AMD when used with supporting 790FX / 790GX motherboards, giving users a performance edge with instant “plug and play” functionality. This highly advanced feature detects your OCZ Black Edition RAM when used in conjunction with AOD-supporting motherboards and AMD Black Edition Phenom CPUs, then the data is sent to a remote server to download the correct profiles to get your system up and running at its peak.
These high performance modules feature both the high densities and blazing frequencies enthusiasts and gamers demand to make the most of the latest PC titles and applications. Delivering plug and play overclocking the “AOD” feature does all the work for you!
