INTRODUCTION

   When the very first DDR4 RAM kits made their debut roughly 7 years ago 16GB was considered to be a good amount for the majority of systems out there and certainly enough for gamers, casual users and even for some professionals. Fast forward to today and 16GB have effectively been replaced with 32GB for the same exact purposes/use which is also why manufacturers have clearly increased production of such kits. Of course, today RGB lighting is also a thing so it's no surprise really that the vast majority of new kits to rollout of factories also focus quite a bit in that specific feature. Where things have changed more however are clocks and so whereas back then even 3000MHz was considered much today anything less than 3600MHz doesn't get that much attention. Mushkin has had a very good track record over the years with their Redline series of RAM kits and since they just released the Lumina line i had to check it out.

   For over 25 years, Mushkin has been dedicated to helping Gamers, digital artists, IT managers and professionals alike enhance their computing experience by providing reliable, high-performance products. Mushkin’s products include a complete selection of USB, SSD and Memory Module upgrades for both the consumer and enterprise industries. Since the company’s founding in 1994, Mushkin has received numerous awards and commendations for quality, reliability and technical excellence.

   Mushkin always covers as many users as possible from the get go and so their Redline Lumina line of DDR4 RAM is currently available in nine 16GB, eight 32GB, and six 64GB dual-channel kits with frequencies going all the way up to 4133MHZ, timings as low as CL16 (2666/3000/3200MHZ CL16 - 2800MHz CL17 - 3600/4000MHZ CL18 – 4133MHZ CL19) and voltages all the way up to 1.4V (2666MHz 1.2V - 2800MHz 1.25V - 3000/3200/3600 1.35V – 4133MHz at 1.4V). Past the diamond cut black and silver aluminum FrostByte heatspreaders of the Redline Lumina 32GB 3600MHz kit which i have here with me today Mushkin has paired 16GB single die memory chips (probably by Micron) with temperature sensors by Giantec and a top ARGB LED bar (8 LEDs) which is compatible with all the major motherboard sync technologies out there today (ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light and ASRock Polychrome Sync). Typically, just like their previous Redline products Mushkin covers the entire Lumina line of DDR4 memory kits with a limited lifetime warranty.
