This unboxing and first look video from Linus Tech Tips presents OCZ Gold XTC memory designed for DDR3 at 1333 MHz with 9-9-9 timings. Linus walks through the packaging and outward appearance, noting the Gold Series heat spreader and the XTC extreme thermal convection design, along with a standard green PCB.
