OCZ, known for its memory modules, became a preferred vendor with its Extended Voltage Protection features. They're now making the news with their OCZ DDR2 PC-2 8500 Reaper HPC Edition. According to their release, "The Reaper HPC is an innovative patent-pending cooling solution developed by OCZ to effectively minimize heat produced by high-speed memory. As heat rises into the thermo-conductive copper heat pipe conduit, it is dissipated through the strategically-placed compact aluminum fin array. By guiding performance-robbing heat away from key memory components, the unique Reaper HPC design helps facilitate improved overclocking performance, while improving longevity and stability of the modules."
