Thread: Cell Shock DDR2 PC2-9200

Cell Shock German-known producer of high performance memory for computers introduced a kit of DDR2, we're going to look really interesting. The test kit consists of 2 banks of 1GB each, a measure that has become standard for gamers and also for many other graphics programs or not.

These memories are of the PC-9200, with an operating frequency of 1150mhz with 5-5-5-18 latencies and a voltage of 2.3 v. One of the characteristics of these memories are in the PCB, the PCB used is in fact as many as 8 layers, unlike the vast majority of other memories that is 6 layers, this would allow these memories to withstand voltages well above the specification.

The chips are mounted Micron D9 GKX, this type of chip is very popular with overclocked, since overclocking is very likely. These chips Micron D9 GKX give better timings pulled and it lasts very high voltages.

Looking at these memories, the first thing that jumps to the eye is the huge sink a red metallic very nice and decided, this is made of aluminum and is designed so as to dissipate the heat generated by the chip, keeping it at a temperature of safety even with very high voltages.

The shape of this heat sink is very different than the solutions which have adopted the most competitive companies, the surface absorption is very large and the contact with the chips is great as it is used in the pulp and not the usual heat conductive thermal pad of dubious effectiveness.
