OCZ has launched a product named the 8500 Reaper HPC which it will sell as a dual channel 2×1 GB kit.

They claim they are the first to passively cool the memory with heat pipes.

It runs at 1066MHZ, uses 5-5-5-15 timings and operates at 2.1 volts. OCz will allow you to overclock the voltage right up to 2.4 volts and let you keep the lifetime guarantee.
