Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the Mushkin Redline Ascent 6GB PC3-12800 memory kit, which features impressive 6-7-6 timings at a mere 1.65V.

Here's what they had to say:

"So there are definitely some decisions to be made when looking for your next kit of DDR3-1600 memory, but you can't argue with the price, performance, and overclocking of the Mushkin Redline Ascent 3x2GB PC3-12800 6-7-6-18 memory. For what would be considered the thick of the mid-range kits, the Redline Ascents definitely bring a high-end value based on the results we obtained today. I mean, where else are you going to be able to run 900MHz+ at CL6 for daily use, then turn up the voltage a little and run DDR3-2000 at 7-8-7 for some benching while staying under $250 USD?"


Although obviously pricier than your mainstream PC3-12800 kits, much of which have minimal overclocking headroom, this Mushkin kit is definitely an impressive product, and would look great combined with an ASUS Rampage II Extreme, EVGA X58 Classified, or Foxconn BloodRage.
