I have always been an OCZ and Patriot RAM type of guy for as long as I have been working with computers. Moving to Mushkin was a big step out of my comfort zone to say the least. I have heard a lot of talk about how amazing Mushkin is over the years, so I decided to take a chance. After finally getting time to mess around with the RAM, I was pretty excited to see what these could do. We will see if that chance paid off when I get into the testing of the RAM. Let’s dance, shall we?
Packaging:
Test Setup:
- Intel I7 920 D0 @4.1
- ASUS Rampage GENE II
- 3×2GB Mushkin Enhanced Blackline PC3-12800 7-9-7-24 @1.65v Model 998782
- Sapphire 5770
- Corsair HX750w
Results:
1184 MHz 6-6-6-24 1T @1.65v
For the CAS 6 results, it took us a few tries to get anything stable. We really were not sure where to start to get the max speed at these timings. After about 20 minutes of guessing, we finally narrowed it down to the above. 1184MHz is our final max overclock with the 6-6-6-24 1T timings. However, this speed is hardly anything to get excited about, and will probably never be used by anyone. We will say that it was entertaining trying to find the max speed for these tighter timings.
1372MHz 7-7-7-24 1T @ 1.65v
The CAS 7 was an interesting test for us. It was so close to manufacturer specifications that we were not sure if there would be much of a difference. Well, we were wrong! With these timings, we were not able to get to the 1600MHz rated speeds. Needless to say, this was a bit strange, but it is clear the chips prefer a looser tRCD.
1806MHz 7-9-7-24 1T @ 1.65v
With the rated specifications of the ram, we were able to reach 1806MHz, which is 434MHz higher than the 7-7-7-24 timings we had earlier and 206MHz past manufacturer specifications. Still using 1.65v, this was an impressive overclock for these sticks. Although most people won’t run this RAM at 1806MHz, it is nice to know it’s there if needed!

Im wondering if these have the same ICs as the sticks i am currently reviewing. i have 12gb #996826.
ran them up to 2005mhz @ 1.65v results here… http://img.techpowerup.org/100331/Capture019.jpg
Very nice OC on those!
I am not sure … when I get some time tomorrow or the next day I will take a gander. Do you know what yours are?
Here is my thread on them… http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=118509
IC’s in first post.
managed to get 2050mhz 1.67v 9-10-9-27-1t sPI 32m stable… http://img.techpowerup.org/100331/Capture021.jpg
Nice one
You had a chance to test them on a AMD rig? the low latency clocks doesn’t look to appealing, but you never know..
They use a PSC D rev chip that likes look tRCD. With 9-11-9-9 they can do high clocks. I’ve managed 6-7-6-15-14 with 1.7v on AMD at 1400MHz.
Fits:
Ok, thanks for the links and I will look into it and let you know.
Wez:
Not yet, but I can and see if I can push them further … maybe this weekend? Hopefully …
Enjoy:
… what was your AMD setup when you tested them?
I will steal those timings and see what I can do with them on my AMD rig as well
The sub-timings can go really really tight too. I was using my 965 BE and an Asus CHIII.
