Woot, finally some Mushkin kits. I'm a real fan of them ;)

[Baleful]

Ahhhh I love Mushkin. I don't use them in my personal machine, but I won't settle for anything less in customer builds.

[zlojack]

Damn...my backup video card is fooked.

No love tonight :(

[Baleful]

Lol that's how it goes man.

[zlojack]

Thing is, I got that card in a trade for some DDR3.

I've PM'd the guy so hopefully he'll put it right.

[zlojack]

Alright...here's my first Everest with the RAM at it's rated speed and volts. Mild OC on the CPU

They usually come out with a Redline Series (http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/memory_detail.asp?id=647) which is a higher-binned version of the XP series with red heatspreaders.

[RedRaider]

Do you think they would sell me the RED heatspreaders???

[zlojack]

According to Greg at Mushkin, the Redlines should be out soon.

(He's another one we should invite here. I'll shoot him a PM)

Not sure if they sell just the heatspreaders. :ricey:

[RedRaider]

I want the RED fucking spreaders...:eek: :ROTF: :rofl:

[Xilikon]

Buy the Redline, it's worth every penny. It's not like you are broke :rolleyes:

[zlojack]

I want the RED fucking spreaders...:eek: :ROTF: :rofl:
Then buy the RED FUCKING MEMORY :afro::cheers::coolio::fightpoke:

[RedRaider]

Is the Mushkin REDLINE their top line of RAM?

How much more does it typically cost?

[Xilikon]

Usually 10-15% premium over the XP2/XP3 line. I have a set of PC2-8000 2x2GB Redline and it works great, even surpassing the set speed without ever touching 2v.

[zlojack]

I think their new top of the line is the Ascent (but they're black heatspreaders)

But the Redline are cherry-picked high-binned chips. They usually clock like monsters.

Ascent isn't always the top of the line, it's just a new line with a special heatsink designed to efficienly dissipate heat. We also have Redline Ascent (http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/memory_detail.asp?id=667) with the red Ascent heatsink ;)

We need Greg to answer those questions :D

[RedRaider]

Thanks guys....:up:

[zlojack]

Nice!

I hadn't seen the Redline Ascent!

Now I want those!
