All memory must have some sort of memory heat spreader.
This memory has the latest and greatest OCZ Titanium
XTC Heatspreader
design.
XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders optimize the
thermal management of memory modules by promoting greater
airflow by means of micro-convection throughout what is
usually the dead air space inside conventional heatspreader
designs. In this manner, build-up of heat is avoided and
thermal dissipation of the memory components is offloaded
more efficiently through the honeycomb design. At the same
time, mechanical stability is maintained.
This honeycomb pattern is very clearly shown in the picture
below.
This design works
a little better than the older design of simply a thin
sheet of copper or aluminum because there are no more hot
air pockets. As described above, this is a good thing
:)
These heat spreaders do an excellent job of
keeping the modules cool and look amazing. Each module has
a "Z" (short for OCZ, not Zorro) embossed at the center and memory
information on a sticker at the left.
