God, this is damn fast.

GeIL ONE BH
- Certified PC4000 2-2-2-5
- Guaranteed till 3,8V

IMO the Redline will clock higher overall than the Geil.
G.Skill which makes damm fine products would be my choice for BH utt. However, they tend to clock on average 10mhz or so lower than the Redline. Doesn't mean every Redline kit will do 270, but enough do to show that Mushkin has the recepie for success.

I'm noticing the recent posts seem to be focusing on high voltages to the Redline's - 3.6 to 3.7V.

Word of caution to all - I pumped my 3.3V rail to 3.6V and ran 2gigs of the the Redline 4000's with an FX57 (1.525V), nF4 SLI-DR, OCZ Powerstream 520W and the board and memory got fried after a few hours of gaming. The ram had a direct 80mm fan on it. I was using the 720 bios (with no vid special used). I had the system at 3Ghz (250x12).

I'm not the most experienced OC'er but I can tell you don't play with the high voltages past 3.6V on your 3.3V rail even if you think your memory can handle 3.6-3.7V. Lucklily I could RMA both but I hope no one else here experiences the same.

The new Redline's arrived about 4 days ago with no heatspreaders compared to the previous. There are about 5 grooves on the top with holes that let air out the top of the ram stick - pretty slick!
