PC Power and Cooling parts

"PC Power and Cooling has a 23 year history in the PSU industry and is known for the first CPU cooler[citation needed], the first PC heat alarm[citation needed], the first independently-regulated PC power supply[citation needed], the first redundant power system[citation needed], the first NVIDIA SLI Certified supply[citation needed], the first 1000W computer power supply[citation needed] and the first - and still only company - to offer an individual certified test report with each power supply sold[citation needed] " I can't see most of that to be true, pc power has never made cpu coolers for one, in fact i can't say i believe any of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.199.48.54 (talk) 20:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OCZ controversy

We need to write a section about OCZ being exposed as a sham company by Timothy Sanders in 2002. It was found they were purchasing low grade and low spec products, re-branding and selling them off as higher spec products at higher prices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loadbang (talk • contribs) 13:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mail in Rebates

Let's add a section on how notoriously bad OCZ Mail in Rebates are, it is almost fraud, it's unbelievable.

Do you have a reference for that? From personal experience, they are the best regarding MIR along with Corsair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.73.244.151 (talk) 19:38, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shareholder Relations

I removed the "Shareholder Relations" section from this entry. The information it contained was unsubstantiated by citations, and seemed like an attempt at vandalism (e.g. claiming the CEO has a habitual drug problem). Jrp3 (talk) 23:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To the user Oczericnelson: please stop reverting the removal of the "Shareholder Relations" section, and then making comments like "I agree with whoever wrote this." It's obvious that you're the one behind the insertion of this dubious block of information. If you can substantiate any of your claims with actual evidence, feel free to reinsert the information with complete citations. Thank you. Jrp3 (talk) 01:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of EB section

I removed the EB section for two reasons:

It was gibberish. It talks about ECC, hypertransport, etc which are completely irrelevant.
EB is simply OCZ's brand name for RAM that runs with a reduced T_RP and T_RCD. At best it deserves a couple sentences (feel free to add these).

Products

Isn't all the product information just advertising? Shouldn't it be removed? 195.184.112.162 (talk) 15:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent information

The introduction uses the word "recently" a few times. It is unclear how recent that information is. It would be much nicer to specify a year.

Acronym?

Does anyone know what the letters O, C and Z stand for? -- Henriok (talk) 07:59, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I second this request. Please can the answer be added to the article. Thanks. Andrew Oakley (talk) 12:06, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Google suggests that its means "Overclockerz" but without a specific citation I'm not going to add it. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OCZ memory is still widely available

From the reference [1] in the article: Accordingly, our DRAM products are now expected to have minimal, if any, sales in the next fiscal year and beyond. This was at the end of the fiscal year 2010, now we are well beyond the "next fiscal year", in the middle of the fiscal year 2012 and OCZ memory ist still widely available (see e.g.: [2]). Did OCZ resume their DRAM-production? --MrBurns (talk) 15:46, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still use two ocz agility 3 60gb sata3 ssd without failures.

I still use two ocz agility 3 60gb sata3 ssd without failures. I bought the drives new on amazon from ocz. I use one for freebsd and the other for windows10. the drives are in heavy use, the drives only limiting factor is the size.I am thinking to use them as a cache drive in a freebsd zfs pool. Should be said that not all the products are bad, and at the time of purchase(5 years ago) the price was comparable to product by other manufactures- durability and performance has never been an issue. In fact, I never knew ocz had such troubles with failures until now(when shopping for new drives for a zfs pool). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.34.19.210 (talk) 18:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice anecdote but what exactly is the point you're trying to make? 83.104.249.240 (talk) 18:25, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
