Talking Mushkin Redline Ascent 6GB DDR3 2000 Review

OK guys, pt. 1 of 2 is complete. For pt. 1, I set the RAM at 2:8 ratio, started at 1600 and worked my way up in increments of 5 BCLK at a time until my CPU could go no higher or at least on air. I prolly could have lowered the volts on some but decided to stick with 1.65v for all test. The RAM performed rather well in my opinion as all test were down in Windows 7 with no tweaks what so ever. I might also add that Windows 7 theme was used in all test. Here are my results so far:




The last run being a new high for me soon to be added at the bot.

2:10 ratio testing to come next. Stay tuned.

That last clock jump gave a pretty good kick in the pants in 32m times.

I so wanted a 230 BCLK run which is what would have been next. Thinkin I would have nailed a 7min 40sec run. Can't wait to get this thing under ice.

There comes a time in every hardware you buy you have to make the decision of "Do I RMA?" or "Do I not RMA?" and well, I had to RMA this RAM. The RAM was great, had uber low latency capabilities but just wasn't quick enough for me. It was only Elpida and I know of Elpida Hyer's that could spank this RAM at looser latencies including my HyperX's. For the average Joe Blow I recommend this RAM but for the Overclockaholics like me, don't waste your time. Next stop OCZ Blade Cas 7's !

3oh6 hit 1122MHz with them and the two reviews I have seen him do on them he swears by them. But over at the egg they have received some shitty reviews but my guess it is from newbs just thinking they can set it at 1000MHZ and be good to go not realizing they are prolly undervolting their vtt or somethin. I slso seen some test run on the 1600 kit and they were top in the class. Plus OCZ has a lifetime warranty on their products. I found them at Amazon for $389.99 plus a $20 MIR bringing the grand total to $369.99.

Here are 3oh6's reviews:

Thats the Blades you are talking about right ?

Man that is just what I need to push this 920 over the edge and take #1. Been testing these OCZ Reapers and just can't get past the 1048mhz wall no matter what I do. Pulling my hair out LOL

The Blades do cost a fair amount tho :(
