Introduction

OCZ are well known throughout the enthusiast community for being one of the top few memory manufacturers when it comes to overclocking. Recently, they have also become known for their innovative RAM cooling solutions such as the watercooling option that comes with their Flex memory kit. Today I have another of their heatsink clad kits, the Reaper PC2-8500 HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit), which features twin heatpipes leading to a black painted heatsink.

Specifications

Features

* The Reaper HPC series uses heat pipe technology to rapidly remove heat from the main body of the memory modules and conduct the thermal load to the extended radiator fin array. The addition of the extended fin array nearly doubles the total surface area available for heat dissipation while the heat pipes warrant near isothermicity throughout the entire design. The result is a doubling in effective heat dissipation at equal delta t or, in real systems, a significantly lower operating temperature of the memory modules.

**OCZ EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) is a feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.35V without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty.
