Today we are going to look at a quad channel memory kit from the Mushkin Blackline Ridgeback range. This kit runs at 1600 MHz with tight timings of 8-8-8-24 and is aimed at users who are looking to build a powerful X79 system without spending too much money. It's also fully compatible with Z77 systems although it will be obviously restricted to a dual channel configuration with this platform.
Mushkin are one of the smaller memory manufacturers operating today with a primary focus at the high end of the enthusiast market. Their memory is very popular with enthusiasts and is regarded to be some of the finest available. They have a few different ranges of memory available for different applications as well as a small range of solid state drives.

I bought a Mushkin kit a year ago and my system was never stable with the kit in. I have a very skilled friend who came around and worked out that one of the sticks was faulty. We had the kit replaced and the new one failed within a month. I had it replaced again.
The last one is working still, but I would have concerns over their quality control.
I would buy the redline memory, its much better grade for overclocking. this stuff is average. wouldnt touch it.
