Mushkin XP2-8500 Memory Review

Conclusion:

This memory performs as advertised. It ran well at the rated timings and only got better once I moved to tighten up the timings. This memory is capable of so much more than what I was able to achieve. I ran into what seems to be a chipset limitation at around 1070MHz, creating a situation where I could not test at any higher frequencies. In the near future, that problem will be addressed and I will follow up this review to reflect the changes.

Pros:

•   Runs at rated speeds
•   Timings can be tightened up at high speeds
•   Lifetime Warranty
•  EPP Programming

Cons:

• Takes the high end of rated voltage to reach rated speed.
