Elite Bastards review: OCZ 4GB DDR3 PC3-15000 Platinum Low Voltage Dual Channel memory kit
The launch of Intel's Socket LGA 1156 platform and associated CPUs and motherboard chipsets has naturally opened up quite a market for high performance, low voltage DDR3 memory kits, particular given the stellar overclocking available almost across the board with Intel's Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs.آ One company looking to provide an affordable yet impressive dual-channel memory kit for these platforms is OCZ, and today we take a look at their 4GB DDR3 PC3-15000 Platinum Low Voltage Dual Channel memory kit to see just what it can offer anyone looking to build a system with overclocking in mind.
If you're looking for a little further information on this memory kit, then some further investigation shows it to have CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS timings of 9-9-9-27, while the modules are also rated to operate using these timings at 1,866MHz, giving us a fair amount of overclocking headroom without the need to compromise on other aspects of memory performance.

Intel plans Core i7 970 CPU?
We know that six-core CPUs are coming Intel's way on the Socket LGA 1366 platform, albeit only in the form of a hugely expensive Extreme Edition part initially, but will we be seeing more reasonably priced six-core processors a little further down the line?آ According to the latest rumours from the grapevine, this could well be the case.
We still don’t know whether Core i7 970 will have six-cores as Intel is keeping its mouth shut, but we highly suspect that this might be the slower version of yet another six-core high end CPU.
If it would launch as quad core, which would make it the first 32nm quad core, but we still highly suspect that this is a six-core. Intel will probably update its plans in the next few weeks and we hope to get you updated as soon as we find that out.
Fudzilla has the details.

ASUS US36 SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 PCI Express card available in retail
If you want to be able to boast support for the latest in storage and connectivity technologies, in the form of Serial ATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 respectively, then the idea of having to buy a new motherboard or otherwise upgrade your system massively is likely to be quite an off-putting one.آ If that's the case, then your prayers may have been answered by ASUS' US36 PCI Express 1x add-in card, which supports two USB 3.0 ports and two SATA 6Gbps devices in one cheap and handy device.
The even better news is that the US36 is now available in retail - US readers can pick up this part for just shy of $30 at NewEgg, while here in the UK آ£33.72 including VAT will net you this card at Pixmania, although if you're willing to wait a little longer for stock to propagate then you can pick one up for a shade under آ£27 at CCL Online.
