Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 998832

Pros: Two of the sticks worked OK.

Cons: One of the sticks didn't work and I contacted them, hoping that I could swap out one of the sticks or if I had to swap it all, them send it out to me first, with a CC on their side or what have you.

Well they can't do that, infact they wouldn't work with me at all. So screw Mushkin, this is the second time I have gotten burnt by the flame of Mushkin, big mistake guys, I not only build a new computer almost every year, but build computers for people I know based on my recommendation. Die in a fire.

Other Thoughts: Buy single sticks guys, so if one is not working you can return one. Oh yea, and don't buy Mushkin, they never have been supportive.

Greetings,

Please contact me at nick@mushkin.com or 800.569.186 X: 103

Thanks!

Pros: These were a same type as what I had in my i7-930.
Now I have 12 gigs and I had no problems with them at all.
All 12 gigs pass the prime 95.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: I don't see any difference is the speed of the computer with 6 or the full 12 gigs ram.

Why does my ATI get so hot on the back side of the video card ati 5770, 1 gig memory. I can feel the heat when playing quake, call of duty and realflight sim???

Pros: Works perfectly fine with my ASUS P6T motherboard and core i7-930 processor. I've owned Mushkin memory in the past (probably 5-6 years total) and only had one stick fail.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: I could not decide between this 1.65v and the 1.5v - 1.6v modules. So I gambled on the 1.65v. ASUS has a big sticker note on the motherboard and in the manual that Intel recommends not going over 1.65v for the memory or it may damage the processor. I was very nervous about running this memory at its spec of 1.65v so I adjusted the voltage to 1.64v in the motherboard's bios and it still seems to work fine. one note, it may be my motherboard, but when I 1st booted the system up and went into the bios, the memory was set to 1.5v if I remember the exact # correctly. So just remember to change it to or close to the memory's voltage spec.

Pros: Worked right out of the box. I had to change the bus from 133 to 166 and manually set the cpu/ram voltage to get it @ 1333/7-7-7-20 but after a full nights worth of stress testing no issues. Haven't tried oc it. Windows gives it a 7.6 rating.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: This was going into a brand new build and I have heard good things about Mushkin so I decided to try them out. I'm really happy I did! This ram comes out of the box flying! As an extra bonus this ram comes w/ heat sinks!! Gotta luv that! Great job Mushkin!

Cons: none!
