Back in July we took a look at the PC-3200 version of OCZ's Special Ops ram and we were very impressed. The ram performed great, not to mention the awesome paint job on the heat spreaders. Today we are taking a look at some DDR2 from OCZ, called the "Special Ops Urban Elite". This time OCZ has outfitted the heat spreaders with Urban camo instead of the regular camo we saw on the previous version. The RAM is PC6400 running at 800Mhz so we will see how far we can push these modules.

OCZ has released many products over the past few months, one being a new CPU cooler. It may not be much to look at, but the design promises great heat dissipation. If you are looking for a low profile air cooler that glows, read on...

Overclockers looking for a good memory kit to play with should take a look at the OCZ PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2. Thanks to its Micron D9 chips, and its ability to support up to 2.52V, it's fast, loaded with capacity and will give you plenty of room to play in.

The AMD AM2 stock cooler leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to cooling performance and noise levels. So what are you to do with your newly setup AM2 rig, suffer in silence with your high temperatures and loud fan? One option would be to get hold of an OCZ Tempest cooler.

After using this kit, I have walked away impressed. Not only does it keep up to it's bigger brother, the VX2, it costs well over $100 less! For the $300 asking price, I would whole heartily recommend this to anyone who is looking for an overclocking kit with serious potential. There is no doubt in my mind that these can be pushed even further, but my CPU seems to have a max overclock of 2.85GHz. If you have a lucky chip that can to go 3.0GHz or beyond, you will be having some fun.

The OCZ GameXStream 700W power supply was not OCZs first power supply offering and likely won't be the last but the GameXStream line did seem to improve on the high quality that their PowerStream and ModStream power supplies toughed despite coming from a different manufacturer this time around. I think OCZ has another winner on its hands with the GameXStream as it has proven to stand up to the abuse and show no signs of slowing down any time soon.

OCZ recently launched 4GB versions of their extremely popular Rally2 thumb drives, and they prove to be a winner. Faster than most of it's competition, and cheaper to boot.

OCZ has gone with the ?Silent? approach to cooling which is great, though of course it is not completely silent; this new product does feature a fan, it is just a very quiet one. They have achieved this with a heatpipe design, just as many have done in the past. In fact OCZ are actually new to the cooling game, with the ?Tempest? being their first official heatsink. It has to be said though, that a lot of what I have seen from this new product, reminds me of products I have already seen.

Although this USB 2.0 drive is not the quickest on the market, the other features sure make up for the shortfall. Once you have this drive in your hand you will soon realize what I am talking about. This drive is just ridiculously small and has all the features you would expect from a normal flash drive. Hell, I loved even showing people this drive. Even the computer enthusiasts I have as friends did do a double take when they saw me pull this small unit out of my pocket. The drive that is.....I mean......sigh.......

There was probably no power supply as popular or as trustworthy as the PowerStream line from OCZ. And with as much respect that power supply has gotten over the years, OCZ would be hard pressed to come up with a better unit. But, they have released the new GameXStream 600 and 700 watt power boxes. Will it compete with the PowerStream, we will soon see...

The OCZ Rally USB Stick revolutionized performance of USB sticks. Now OCZ has released another stick called the Mini Kart which is optimized for size and ultra-portability. The stick which comes in a 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB version has a height of only 2.8 mm. Small enough to carry it around in your wallet. Considering how thin the Mini Kart is, we tested its strength using the weight of OCZ's latest PSU hooked to the end of the USB stick to see if the stick would snap...

Read on to see if this is the best PC8000 memory available and if it's right for you...

OCZ's DDR2 PC2-5400 Gold GX XTC we're looking at today is an affordable memory that perhaps some of you have been eye balling or already have purchased. Some of the reasons that could interest someone in this memory are brand name, reputation for good overclocking or simply price. You can be sure of the brand name and price here, and in fact this is some of the cheapest PC2-5400 memory on sale at Newegg, but what we're looking at today is how well this memory is able to overclock...
