Cebit 2011 some highlights

Tradeshow & OC events by leeghoofd @ 2011-04-07

It's Hannover time again. After a 6 hour drive I entered the holy grounds of the Cebit 2011 Messe. Being a hardware enthousiast I went out to look for the new stuff ( as usually CES spoils all the fun ). So this is not a Cebit coverage with all sorts of cases, docking stations, USB sticks with lasers etc... Just the things that I found either good looking, innovative or usefull to the enthousiast crowd. Hence the title : some highlights :) And ofcourse as a reviewer you are obliged to meet and greet all the lovely people that send us the goodies to play with.

Gskill, Patriot memory and OCZ

Gskill :

As Gskill already had an insane lineup of all sort of ram speeds and types it was not unexpected to only find one new edition : the sniper gaming series ram.

The new Sandforce chipset based SSD : the Phoenix II SSD. For the rest they had some impressive amounts of ram running, 24Gb 2000MHz CL8 on X58 is really great.

OCZ :

OCZ is focussing almost 100% on the storage market now. Providing SSDs and PCI-E SSDs for all market segments. The new Sandforce (2281) SSD will be powering the Vertex 3. Nice thing now is that OCZ also provides some of their models in a 3 1/2 form factor. And we even spotted a 1.8 inch SSD on the booth wall.

Them PCI-E specs are jaw dropping, sadly so is the price :)

For the new PSU line OCZ got the new ZS (400-700W) and fully modular ZX (850-1250) lined up. All PSUs come with a 5 year warranty.

Patriot Memory :

Wildfire is the new high end Partiot Sadnforce based ( 2200 series) SSD. Their was a brillaintly done custom case by Scan PC showing off some nice WC gear.

Patriots new USB3.0 with ultra fast tranfer rates will feed ya need for sure. The Magnum will be initially available in 64 and 128MB versions. Estimated retail price for the 64Gb will be around 160 Us dollars. The MSI MOA overclocking event is sponsored by Patriot so worldwide overclockers will push the 2133 CL9 kit to it's limits in the upcoming weeks. (EDIT : Kingston 2250CL9 kit will be the RAM of choice for the MSI MOA event)

Looking forward to test one kit myself :)
