Mushkin 4GBx2 2000 MHz CL9

So the memory kit tested today come from the Mushkin Blackline series armed with dark colored Ridgeback heatspreaders.

  • Speed Spec: PC3-16000
  • Frequency: 2000MHz
    Capacity Kit Type: Dual Kit

    Cooling Technology
  • Heatsink: Ridgeback
  • Manufacturer Warranty Parts  Lifetime limited Labor Lifetime limited

The P55/P67/Z68 motherboards recommendation is there because this is dual-channel kit. Now despite what many people think, that doesn't mean you can't use it on a triple channel X58 motherboards, no Sir.

The memory itself is maximized for the utmost stability and user friendly experience. That doesn't mean that this memory won't work at other motherboards, to the contrary, we gave it a try and if you manually tweak the BIOS settings yourself you can achieve advertised frequency and performance quite easily.

Once installed in the BIOS if supported, select the XMP profile for the memory and after a reboot you are good to go.

If you do not have an XMP profile option in your BIOS, set the 7:8:7:24 timing manually and make sure you set DIMM voltage to 1.60 to 1.65V ... this literally is 10 seconds of work.

This eight gigabyte DDR3 kit is available for just over 125 USD or roughly 100 EUR. But head on over to the next page where we'll startup a product photo-shoot after which this article will dive into a benchmark session. Hey, we know you like it !

Mushkin Blackline Ridgeback 2000 MHz DDR3 8GB review
Mushkin offers their dual-channel Blackline Ridgeback in 8GB kits at $125 (USD), and to spice that up .. it is offered as a 2000 MHz kit, with granted not the most sexy timings but at a CAS latency of 9 versus 2000 MHz versus two 4GB high-density DDR3 modules. At 125 USD , and that's 15.6 USD per GB, you can understand that this kit might be a nice alternative to low latency 1333 and 1600 MHz kits. Muskin even tops that off by a lifetime warranty on this product so all in all that can't be a bad deal, no Sir.
