OCZ puts out bunch of new toys

OCZ HAD A LOT of interesting things at CeBIT this year. They ranged from heatsinks to power supplied to the obligatory ram. Most everything it had made you do a double-take, some were quite odd, but all were interesting.

Take this one for example, it is called the Hydrojet, a self-contained watercooling system. This hexagonal tower is quite large and filled with copper fins, to be replaced with aluminum when it hits production soon. It sucks air in on top and blows it out the vents in the bottom.

Internally, the heat is picked up by a carbon nanotube base and conducted to a liquid that is circulated by the same driveshaft as the little internal fan. The fluid reservoir is in the clear section just below the fins. This one is empty.

You end up with .5 square meters of surface area for cooling so the Hydrojet can dissipate 350-400W of heat with very low noise. You can also put in satellites for cooling VGA cards, but that will have to wait for a future version.

Next up, they had a flash drive called the Rally FW for firewire I assume. These little double ended drives can do USB, USB mini, FW and FW 800, pick any two for any single unit. They also had a three in one SD card. It will do SD, micro-SD and USB all in one. The Trifecta as it is called is a standard SD/micro-SD adapter with a USB port. Neat idea.

Then we get on the the realm of borderline silly but still neat bleeding edge ram for the insane overclocker set (hi guys!). This ram is called the Reaper, and it is either memory with a heatpipe built in or motherboard grab handles that fit into any DDR2 slot. Either way, they look cool.

That brings us to power supplies and they had three new ones there. First was the Stealth Xstreme, a 600W quiet PSU. Not much to say here, quiet with a large fan. The next step of the voltage ladder is a little more interesting, the ProXStream, a small 1000W PSU. This one will fit in a standard ATX case, quite possibly the highest wattage PSU to do that.

The last one is the enthusiast PSU of the bunch, the Elite Xstream. It is a 1200W modular PSU, and as you can imagine, with enough power to microwave low flying birds from an unshielded case, it has a lot of connectors. If you need this, well, prepare for a case that accepts slightly larger than ATX fittings.

Overall, you can expect some very odd things every time you go to the OCZ booth. This CeBIT, they did not disappoint. In fact, they had one device there that merits it's own story, but more on that tomorrow. µ
