The new OCZ PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha modules feature exclusive, multicolored XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders implementing an innovative Titanium deposition coating process that is resistant to scratches. In english this means, each Titanium Alpha module has its own unique color scheme and displays interchanging shades depending on the lighting and angle of the heatspreader. Think Max Power cars for memory. They are probably the best look heatspreaders on the market!

According to OCZ, the XTC heatspreaders aren't just for fancy looks. They are specially designed to keep the temperatures down by promoting airflow by means of micro-convection through the dead air space found in more conventional heatspreader designs. Now you know what the honeycomb holes do and you thought they were just to look sporty.
