Pros: No DOA sticks Stress-test has shown no errors

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have the ASUS Maximus V Formula board. Installing both Mushkin sticks in RAM slots A2 and B2 caused the system to fail POST (was awesome to have an indicator on the motherboard that told me where POST failed so I knew where to look!!!). I took out the secondary stick (from B2 slot) and the system posted. I went into the UEFI and changed the DRAM timing to 1866 from 1600, saved the changes, shutdown the system, installed the second stick and the system booted fine.

Pros: This is the 3rd set of Mushkin memory I am using and I never had any issues, always passed memtest and benchmarks. Fired up XMP on a new Z87 board, rock solid and cool to the touch.

Cons: None, price did jump 15% on all memory a few days before I was to purchase, typical.

Overall Review: I really like the ridgeback style, very solid looking but was afraid down the road I could run into clearance issues with any aftermarket HS so I bought this version instead. At 1.5V in reality ridgeback is vast overkill, even Frostbyte is to a certain degree but better to have some heat sink then none at all for longevity. Now if you decide to up to volts to 1.65 for overclocking either one will be a nice benefit.

Pros: Mushkin is my new favorite. This memory is solid, strong, and reliable. For Intel chipset motherboards with default timings of 1333 or 1600, just select the XMP profile setting of 1866 MHz, and it's done in a snap. They are great chips since they have potential and run at a low voltage of 1.5v. The others that post the same timings at 1.65v have to work harder, demanding more from your CPU, power supply, and motherboard---and chopping down their lifespan---that is why those other chips are so cheap. Then you can barely overclock them since the voltages are already maxxxed out. In my system (see below), these can either: ---easily bump to 2166 Mhz with one O.C. step-up. ---stay at 1866, but increase the voltage to 1.6v, and drop the timings to 8-9-8-25 for a screaming fast latency! Ran so good, I bought 8 more gigs for a total of 16 G. I installed a Corsair memory fan on all 4 chips which fit perfectly too, to keep them ice cold, just in case ;) System hums.

Cons: NONE!

Pros: 9.10.9.27 2099Mhz @ 1.55v on a gigabyte ud3 990fx

Cons: I'm being very nitpicky, but I would prefer black pcb

Pros: Working as advertised for me in multiple systems. Pretty good value for the performance. Manufacturing quality seems good to me.

Cons: Haven't encountered any.

Overall Review: I've had this kit running in a Haswell system and now an Ivy Bridge-E box (both ASUS motherboards), no problems using the XMP profile with either. The kit survived many hours of Memtest86 and ran rock solid at 1866 CAS8 as well as 2000 CAS9---both at stock voltage, 1.5V (YMMV). I've bought several other Mushkin kits for various builds in the last year and they're all working great so far.

Pros: Asus Sabertooth sees Mushkin profile. Works at 1866 as advertised. No tweaks needed.

Cons: None.

Pros: So far so good! Dunno how most motherboards handle 8GB sticks, but my Maximus IV Gene-Z is working fine. They also look quite stylish. At first my MB detected as 1600mhz, but this was fixed when I turned on the XMP profile. The previous RAM I was using was a flaky set from G.Skill that loved causing random BSODs and this kit seems to be rock-stable so far, loving it.

Cons: PCB isn't black? I dunno. It'd have been a nice touch, but nothing major.

Pros: Just installed it to replace some other brand memory that was DOA, running great at 9-9-9-24 1.52v @ 1855 matching my other memory (the slight voltage increase is because my other memory needs it, not this one)

Cons: Should have bought this one first!
