5 out of 5 eggsBig Fan

Pros: This RAM is great. This is the first time I've purchased Mushkin and going to look for it in the future. A friend of mine and I each bought a set of these babies and we've had no problems with it what-so-ever. After benchmarking we realized how fast they actually are. Awesome product. Would buy again.

Cons: None So Far.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat RAM!

Pros: I bought this Memory a while back for my first Gaming PC build and all I can say is that it's great RAM! This is the first time I've used Mushkin; I've always used Crucial Memory, but I went with this brand for once and it's great! I've been meaning to buy more lately so I can have 16GB, but I highly recommend this memory!

Cons: None!

5 out of 5 eggsLove Mushkin

Pros: 1) Its a "Merica" company
2) Its the best ram you can get for the money, seriously! 40$ for one of the most highly reviewed ram in its price range!
3) Lifetime Warranty

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: Case - NZXT Switch 810 White
Power supply - Corsair TX750M
Motherboard - Asrock Fatality Performance
CPU - Intel i5 2500k
Ram - Muskin 8gb(2x4) soon to be 16gb (i just ordered more today)
Storage 1) 2x SanDisk Extreme 128GB
Storage 2) WD Caviar Black 1TB
Graphics Card - Galaxy GTX670
CPU Cooler - Corsair H80i (LOVE THIS THING)
Fans - 4xNZXT 140mm (3 came with the case, i ordered 1 more because 3 is an odd number and im OCD)

Overclocked to 3.8ghz (i dont need to go further, it really pointless) Im at 27c idle and 59c full load. 100 FPS Heaven benchmark stock benchmark. I truly believe that it is pointless to build anything faster than this unless you are doing 3d rendering, or for benchmark bragging rights, or just because you can.

4 out of 5 eggsGood RAM, Low Voltage

Pros: + The RAM is Low Voltage.
+ 4GB a Stick
+ 1600 MHz at Full Load without overclocking
+ CAS 9-9-9-24
+ Will fit under the Thermaltake Frio CPU Cooler

Cons: - The RAM will idle at around 550~1000 MHz, and sometimes takes time to go faster when games demand it.

5 out of 5 eggsgood ram

Pros: It works. RAM is RAM. It either works or doesn't.

Cons: They are tall, so you might have trouble with some CPU coolers. But I wasn't looking for low profile ram, so I didn't care.

Other Thoughts: This RAM is sold as 1.35V. It is, at DDR 1600, but at DDR 1333, the JEDEC info read out from the motherboard indicate 1.5V. So, if your motherboard defaults to 1333, and it says 1.5V, don't panic thinking you are blowing your ram up.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Works at advertised specs with all slots populated, not a huge heatsink.

Cons: None as of the writing of this review.

Other Thoughts: Great RAM, I bought one kit and liked it so much I bought another one. I had another set of Mushkins years ago and it kind of scared me off the Mushkin brand as they had to be RMA'd a bunch of times but these chips work much better.

3 out of 5 eggsOkay but..

Pros: Lookd good, runs good. All of that.

Cons: My only con is that one stick came DOA. So yeah, that's a issue.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent RAM.

Pros: - Low voltage at 1.35.
- Low profile heatsinks.
- Lifetime warranty.

Cons: - None whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: Installed 16GB of this RAM into my ASRock Z68 1155 Extreme4 Gen3. In the BIOS everything was already set correct at 1.35v and 9-9-9-24 timing. Perfect!

I haven't got into overclocking them but I know the Mushkin forums are very helpful when it comes to that. But I honestly don't even think it's necessary for me.

I do not think I will buy any other RAM besides Mushkin because it's just perfect.
