OCZ would speed up X48 motherboards with new memories

The manufacturer's new DDR3 memories are capable of 1,8 GHz clock speed.

Specifically for the soon-to-debut X48 chipset, OCZ recommends its latest product, which becomes a real beast through XMP profiles as soon as it detects the right motherboard. In principle, the performance setting would be in a separate profile, but the manufacturer has added an extra step.

As recommended by Intel, the modules will set a CL8 delay when XMP mode is enabled, which can provide a value at 1800 MHz. The OCZ setting means the same clock signal, however, the delay is reduced by one, i.e. the CL7 value becomes stably available. This requires 2,05 V for Titanium modules, which are greatly aided by the special Z3 XTC heatsink.

The PC3-14400 Intel XMP Ready Titanium Edition modules are available in 1 or 2 × 1 gig packs, goods are not yet known.
