OCZ DDR 5000 (DFI NF4 sped)

@ 2005/05/22
Having spoken in the past with OCZ staff members Tony and Andy who regularly post on our forums I have been aware of their close affiliation with DFI. Today we are going to take a look at a product that is closely linked with their DFI NF4 range of motherboards, OCZ's EL DDR PC-5000 Platinum (created for DFI NF4). Its quite easy to assume in a passing glance with a rating of "5000" these would be DDR2 modules however this is not the case, its regular DDR rated at a mind numbing 312.5mhz or DDR 625 with timings of 3-4-4-10. This should on paper sate even the most ardent of overclockers.

We had no real issues overclocking the PC-5000 once we dropped the processor multiplier. With timings of 3-4-4-10-1T we were able to hit 270 Mhz or DDR540 with no errors in Memtest+.
