CoolIT Domino i5 Testing

Back in July this year we tested the CoolIT watercooling kit using a heavily overclocked AMD 7750+ BE. It’s performance really surprised us with it absolutely caning the other coolers in question. However, processors have quickly moved on since July and we’ve got the likes of the Intel Core i7 and recent i5 dominating the market. For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…

OCZ 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Low-Voltage Triple Channel

Here at Tech-Reviews we’ve unfortunately never had the chance to review any desktop memory kits. However, whilst spec’ing up the components for our new i7 test rig an email suddenly dropped in my inbox from OCZ as they wanted to send us some OCZ Platinum DDR3 memory for review. After taking a look at the specifications and features of the memory, it seemed to be the perfect kit for an i7 rig – their website confirmed this with it stated that they’re designed and optimized specifically for i7 processors.

Boasting speeds of 1600 MHz, low voltage requirements and very good latencies, these DDR3 memory sticks certainly look good on paper. So I welcome you to Tech-Reviews’ first memory review where we hope to find out if this DDR3 OCZ Platinum memory kit is up to scratch.
