CONCLUSION

   The Redline RAM by Mushkin was legendary back in the early days of DDR3 and used to be the primary “tool” of overclockers. This of course is not something you forget so I’m always curious to see what they’ve been up to. Now it’s been many years since i had a RAM kit by Mushkin in my hands so the arrival of their Redline Black (Frostbyte) roughly 3 weeks ago was more than welcome. Performance as you can all tell from the charts is very good across all benchmarks, although I have to admit I was expecting just a tad more in terms of overclocking headroom (especially since Mushkin just released a 4GHZ CL18 kit in this line – probably uses different Micron die however). Still 3800MHz with CL18 and just 1.37V is a very good and safe result for people who might want to get some extra juice out of these modules.

   Price is what usually makes or breaks any product and with a current one set at just USD109.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 193.47Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Redline Black (MRC4U360JNNM16GX2) 32GB DDR4 3600MHZ CL18 Dual-Channel kit by Mushkin certainly does very well in that regard, at least on the other side of the Atlantic. This is also why this Redline Black kit is highly recommended for consumers living in the USA, it’s got capacity/amount (32GB should be plenty for many years to come) performance (3600MHz again should be more than enough), quality (Mushkin/Micron), lifetime warranty and it it’s reasonably priced.
