OCZ is not unknown to PC enthusiasts. As most of
us know that OCZ is the leader in the memory market. OCZ had quite
a bad reputation when they launched but now they are regaining
the trust of their customers as well as market shares in the enthusiast
market. Over the years OCZ have been quite successful in releasing
some of the fastest memory in the market specifically targeted
towards PC enthusiasts. OCZ is also trying to spread their product
line to cooling products such as heatsinks and case fans. Today
we had the chance to review one of OCZ’s popular Gladiator
3 HSF designed for AMD processors but before we get into the review
below is the history of OCZ Technology to provide you with better
understanding of OCZ, their future plans and their commitment
towards their customers.
About OCZ:
Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was
built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed
DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts,
and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology
has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer
to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public,
which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR
architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken
that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite
Bay chipset's. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN
technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing
process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication
with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release
of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's
SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the
memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today’s
rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is
not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing
process.
