Mushkin Redline

A bit of old news, but since no one has posted this yet, I'll go ahead and do so.

Mushkin has now revealed two fresh additions to its Redline memory series, the '998691' and '998692' triple channel DDR3 kits. Both kits offer 6GB of RAM via three 2GB modules that work at 1600 MHz with 6-7-6-18 timings and 1.65V, and are differentiated by the cooling solutions used - the '998691' trio is equipped with Mushkin's 'usual' heatspeaders, while the '998692' can brag with having Ascent spreaders. The Ascent solution features two 123mm x 25mm liquid filled copper vapor chambers encased on the outer dimensions by high conductivity 6063 aluminum alloy.

Both triple channel kits are to be offered with a lifetime warranty.

Anyone have any experience with these? I know the DDR and DDR2 Redline modules were extremely good overclockers. :up:

I want to know too, this set is my pick for the I7 upgrade

Reviews are on the way, I don't want to spoil it for the reviewers, but here's a peak at what these sticks can do.

at 6-7-6...but at 6-8-6, you can shoot the moon ;)
review should be up within a week and an OC Report to follow :up:

:eek: Amazing sticks Flasker!

Looking forward to the reviews :yepp:

are these elpida ic's?

Dam the 998692 are cheap too! Whats the deal? corsair GT's are almsot twice as expensive when these have far better timings..

Are you complaining? We could raise the price if you think they're too inexpensive. :ROTF:

Hahaha na man not at all :D

Are they widely available for sale yet?

CHeers

A sneak peak at the 998708's

Can't tell me which IC's I suppose?

I don't have a set for testing yet, should be reviews soon.
2100+ should be possible, if your Uncore can keep up.

As for ICs, I am a mushroom

LOL, ok I just ordered them, I know nothing is guaranteed, but am hoping for 8 8 8 24 1t @ 2150-2180 mhz @ 1.65v. I have Kingstons Hyper x now and mine max out at 8 8 8 24 1t 2100mhz @1.76v..

UPS guy just delivered my new RAM, Mushkin Redline Ascents 998708's 2000 Mhz 8 8 7 24. Too bad my replacement Classified board is not here to try them out.. :mad:

While you're waiting for your mobo...

Had a guy post on the Mushkin forum, he has the 998707s, same sticks as yours with a different heatspreader.

Here's your sneak peak :D

thanks for letting us know the IC's :D

my review of the 998692 should go up tonight barring a natural disaster. look for it on HardwareCanucks around 7-8PM EST :up:

im so out of the loop without greg telling me whats going on :(
i will need to pick up a set of these whenever i decide to upgrade.

reviving a slightly dead thread.. anyone doing a review on the DDR3-2000 8-8-7-24 redline/redline ascents?

I received mine a while back, but I had a problem with my motherboard. Just got back my RMA motherboard. So far this ram seems pretty good. Much better than either one of my Kingston hyper x's.
I have 8 hour prime stable at 2110 Mhz 1.65v 8-8-7-24

I need to do a lot more testing, but initial result. 2200 mhz 1.65 V

You can see also my review of Mushkin 998691 and Mushkin 998687 (dated 10.04.2009), with pics of the naked chips: http://lab501.ro/memorii-stocare/mus...-in-trichannel. Looking forward to test the new Mushkin 998707 very soon :D!

So is the general consensus that Muskin is a good company with reliable product? Definitely impressed by the spec/price ratio and how low some of the rated timings are.

I am no fanboy of Mushkin. lol I have, and will use several different manufacturers. I have bought maybe 10 sets of ram from Mushkin in my lifetime. All have done their rated spec, and not had a bad stick yet.. I can't say the same about a few other companies. lol

Prime 95 blend, going right now, 2170Mhz @ stock timings and volatge, CPU @ 4.55Ghz.. very happy so far.! Will post if it passes. :yepp:

I just picked up a kit of the 998692 because they were on sale at the egg. I cannot get them stable beyond stock clocks though (been using LinX to check stability). I thought I was fairly close to having something at the following:
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/283...neclose.th.jpg
I have a C0 that can hit 4GHZ, but I turned it back to stock to try and test the ram. I have a Gigabyte UD5 and the only voltages I adjusted were the QPI/VTT to 1.5175 and the memory to 1.76. If anyone could help me get beyond stock with these I would appreciate it.

Looks like you are on an old BIOS.
Get the latest BIOS here

1866Mhz @ cas 6 seems like pretty high expectations to me?

I ended up having to RMA the kit. Only one stick passed memtest at stock (using the XMP profile). I was thinking about flashing my bios, and probably will. I will update when I get my new kit.

Why aren't the Mushkin Redline 6GB (3 x 2GB) PC3 16000 memory models being sold anymore.

I got a new set and have a new set of issues. They work beautifully at stock, but I've been trying to get them to 2k. They pass memtest at both 8-9-8-24 and 9-9-9-27, but I can't run a pass of linx to save my live. The voltages I tried were VTT 1.36, CPU 1.300, and VDIMM 1.64-1.70. Any suggestions?

I think there is a problem with the availability of Elpida Hyper chips :(

On the other hand, I just finished the review of 998707 kit, ehich you can read here: Mushkin 3×2GB XP3-16000 8-8-7-24 (998707) – Elpida Hyper goodness | Article in romanian, Google Translation may be required

Right now I'm running my 998691's at 6-8-6-24 1T at 1914 mhz on a EVGA classy

Would it be possible to see all your timings and voltages by chance?

Sorry .............I left everything else on auto or default settings. I replaced my 920 with a 960 ( better memory controller). When I test them again I will make sure to record all of the sub timings.

gahh these are sold out at newegg now

Finally I found a good memory! :D And this would be a good place to post. Screenshots contain settings, for those who care to know and try.
After all my adventures (Memory problem, New memory advice), looks like I found a good memory.

Yes, it's nice packaging and pretty looking sticks... 8)

Now the good part:

All testing done using vCore=1.488 idle/1.440 load. 3rd image shows mem@2100 but not stable with VTT=1.440/1472. 4th is stable with VTT=1.504/1.536. And the 5th is highest I tried, thou not stable.

Actually on the Mushkin support forum they issued a statement way back in July last yr that they were suspending purchase of Elpida Hyper chips for new builds, which I take it applies mainly to their 2000MHz modules, until a solution can be found.

However they claimed they weren't having an above normal failure rate as others had, so it appeared to be a precautionary measure. What I'd like to know is, are there any other manufacturers like Samsung, Micron, etc, making suitable 2000MHz chips?

I know a lot of people advocate getting 1600MHz RAM and OCing it to 2000MHz with something like 9 timings, but getting the Redline 3x2GB kit for $280 at 8 timings sounds pretty good to me. I don't want to have to deal with the trial and error voltage and timing settings. I just want to know if the chips used in the 2000MHz ones are reliable?

I had to rma my second set of 998707's last week and received the 998750's in return . I am running them at 1600 6-6-6 @ 1.6v right now and plan on keeping them there . I may stretch thier legs and see what the can do this weekend. Big props to muskin RMA for the prompt service.

any news on the EH Chips? I am looking to get some for a new build and it seems that not many people have them in stock..... wondering if any mushkin ppl could chime in.... you guys selling them from the factory? looking at the 998708....

Mushkin always make good stuff. One of the very few manufacturers I'd say consistently have good stuff - even in their value areas.
