Mushkin Redline

[cardnut99668]

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

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

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! 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.
