Value and Conclusion

  • The 2 GB kit of OCZ PC3-14400 1800 MHz CL8-8-8-27 is available now and should cost just under 500€s or around 600 USD.
  • Very balanced memory!
  • Still plenty of headroom above 1800 MHz
  • Over Voltage Protection up to 2.05V
  • Runs very well at CL5-5-5-12
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Heatspreaders look great
  • Pricey
  • No benefit over DDR2 at low frequencies
  • Requires boards capable of high FSB
  • Did not manage 2000 MHz even at relaxed CL ratings.
OCZ has created some great memory modules once again. While DDR3 is still very new on the market, the new CPUs with higher FSB take advantage of the higher frequencies possible with DDR3. The PC3-14400 Platinum Kit is perfectly balanced, so you will be able to get the most out of a high-end system no matter if you have limited voltage or timing options available in the BIOS. But considering the price of these Kits, it is certainly aimed at early adoptors who want to get the most out of their systems. If you are in the market for solid memory on the newest boards like the X38 or upcoming X48 and AMD chipsets, then the OCZ PC3-14400 should be a great choice.
