I got this to run with p5q pro and am very happy with them. I haven't overclocked them yet, will do so later. But they are doing very well as is. I missed the sale by one week but at least I have a good product!

Comment:
I have 2 of these kits and I'm happy with the performance.I can run them at 5-5-5-12 and 1100.They stay cool so no need for a extra fan and Gregs support made the cost worth it.The included copy of 3DMark Vantage was a bonus.

Cons: this memory can be pricey

Pros: The quality of the memory and the customer support from the manufacturers representative on this site
Comment:
This is my second purchase of mushkin memory the first set preforms flawlesly in my wifes htpc and just built a new one for myself. I got this set last week and when you take them out of the package and inspect them the first thing that came to mind was what quality workmanship. I chose this memory because of the customer service provide by the Mushkin representative on this site. He has helped pick out the appropriate memory and then help you set it up when you recieve it. The preformance is impressive with the timings provided by the manufacturer and at $134 on sale its worth every dime.

Nice RAM with great heat sinks. I have had no problems with the RAM.I run them at 5-5-5-15 at 2.0v and never had a problem.The Ascent's work great on my P35 motherboard.I bought them to replace some Crucial Ballistix Tracers that kept on BSOD even after RMA'ing .

Got a pair to run on P5Q Pro, overclocked with help of Mushkin Greg, they are purring away..Thanks Greg, great service... If you are looking to buy RAM, look no further than Mushkin, and you'll get all the help you need right here on the NCIX forum, just ask Greg for timings

Cons: Price

Pros: High clocks at low volts, great heatsinks, haven't seen a set yet that didn't do 1100+
Comment:
These are a bit pricey, but IMO well worth the price.I've got a set running 1113 at 2.05V without any issues, and unlike some other sets... these boot fine at 1.8V so there is no need for a second set of cheap ram to get your mem voltage set in bios.Definately recommend these sticks!!!(Oh, yeah... to top it off, you can't beat Mushkin Greg's support!! ).

Cons: - Very thick

Pros: - High performance memory that is easy to overclock- Very cool- Comes with 3DMark Vantage
Comment:
While on the expensive side you do get what you pay for. The ram is very easy to overclock and runs quite cool at the same time. It shouldn't need a fan blowing over it unless you are running crazy high voltages.The included 3DMark Vantage is a very nice bonus (even if it makes you cry sometimes). The only gripe I'd have is that the heatspreaders are very thick. You need a couple millimeters of clearance between your ram slots otherwise you can't put 4 of them together.

Totally yfunctional and solid in my p5q pro mobo. I bought these babies with no wish to OC for another year or so. They perform like you'd expect. I got the bonus of getting a 3DMark Vantage(advanced copy-20$ value)..64 bit graphics benchmark software...fun program.I don't expect anyone to ever be dissatisfied with these.

Cons: - some stability problems unless timings are "just" right- a little chunky for some boards.

Pros: fast, good support (thanks Greg!!!), memtest overnight without error!
Comment:
Got this ram with a new system. When I intially booted up the ram was clocked at 800Mhz, I couldn't get it to 1066Mhz without loosing massive stability. However after consulting Mushkin Greg on the forums he gave me proper timings and it's been running like a champ ever since. Great value and great support.

Pros: Fast SpeedsNew HeatsinkExcellent manufacturer support on forums
Comment:
This is an excellent Ram. Its fast and it keeps cool. it also comes with 3D vantage which is great. Another bonus is how reps are always willing to help on the forums. It is a bit pricier compared to the Redlines but this are better due to the newer heatsinks. I would definitely consider this if it is within your budget

This kit is just the best i've owned for a while. I runned patriot 800mhz 4-4-4 e 2.2vdim in the past. Now with the ascent 4gb at 800mhz 4-4-4 e 1.95vdim and as stated by greg on mushkin support forum, at those low frequencies it might have room to tight the timmings even more. Now running on a little e4400, i'm still set on the Ram side for future upgrades...

I bought 2 sets of these, total 8GB and put em in my EVGA 750i FTW mobo with the Q9450 Quad cpu d 3.2ghz. No problem sofar. I can probably go higher. I'll experiment some more when I have time.

Cons: -Some motherboards place the DIMM slots too close together to fit 2 of these side by side

Pros: - Fast- Cool- Excellent support, esp. from MushkinGreg- Free 3DMark
Comment:
Whether you are pushing the clock or tightening timings at a lower clock these are a great buy right now. I've had them at 4-4-4-10, 800MHz since I don't have good enough cooling to overclock my CPU a lot, but when I have the opportunity I'll be able to push the rest of my system to its limit with this memory.Very high quality product, and you can tweak it to your heart's content even if you're a noob because of the great support. You can't go wrong.

awesome ram, only issue i had was the size of the heatspreaders, extremely HUGE! they are too wide for some mobos, especially my gigabyte 780g mATX mobo, but i did managed to force them in at a slight angle.

I love this ram, it looks cool and runs even cooler. The new heatsink design definitely works. I'm watercooling most components in my case so I don't have a lot of fans or air movement over these but they are never more than warm to the touch.
