Super Reaper HPC CrossFire Certified Edition RAM

The latest RAM module produced by OCZ that goes in the line of CrossFire is the Reaper HPC CrossFire Certified Edition. The specs are DDR2, PC2-8500, 1066MHz and it comes in dual-channel kits of 2GB (2x1024). This memory was designed under AMD's certification program and it can bring the best of a PC if used within a Crossfire system. The latest top notch video cards from the AMD line, the radeon 3870 were the first to support the DirectX 10.1 standard. So what about that interesting heatspreader? The official description says: "These unique DDR2-1066 modules feature the patent-pending Reaper HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit) heatspreader which is engineered to deliver superior silent heat dissipation over traditional heatspreaders. The Reaper HPC is an innovative cooling solution developed by OCZ to effectively minimize heat produced by high-speed memory. As heat rises into the thermo-conductive copper heat pipe conduit, it is dissipated through a compact aluminum fin array. By strategically guiding performance-robbing heat away from key memory components, the unique Reaper HPC design maximizes passive cooling to improve longevity and stability of the modules." The timings are 5-5-5 which should be pretty good for the category in which these modules can be classified and if I were to build a CrossFire, these modules would come in handy.
