Mushkin Vs Corsair

[BabyBalla]

Is it me or that muskin is not getting the attention they should be getting.

Ram
Mushkin Redline - 6-6-5-18

Corsair Dominator GT - 7-7-7-20

Sure Mushkin's ones don't look too good but in raw speed its a tiny bit faster

SSD

Corsair

Both uses the same chipset so there tied here. The Mushkin one is Cheaper $144 vs $165 but since newegg is having a sale right now, There tied in price.

PSU Corsair hands down. Everything else Mushkin doesn't offer. It wouldn't be a fair comparison.

So the question is Why is Corsair also seems so dominated?

Corsair ftw I love it and my next ram will be 6GB DDR3 Dominator GT

Never heard of Muskin before but it looks reasonable for the price. And as for looks, unless your gona be building a pc to show off (looks wise) it doesn't matter

[BabyBalla]

yeah i don't go for looks, if its makes my computer faster then i'm all for it. I've been using mushkin for every build now. I hate it when corsair fanboys are like get the dominators, there the best out there.

[eXile]

They are the best LOOKING by far yes but not the best performance wise

[Jester]

Redlines are the best choice by far. Corsair, Mushkin and G.SKILL all have the highest quality RAM and customer service, but Corsair just overprices their RAM because people go for them anyway because it's Corsair. The smaller heat sinks is a good thing - less interference with large CPU coolers. As for the SSD, they have the same capacity and read/write speed.

[BabyBalla]

i agree. It just seems like mushkin isn't getting the attention it deserves. I have always bought mushkin. In all 3 of my builds.

[Jester]

Yep on most other hardware forums, most people only know one word for power supplies and memory. Corsair.

Don't forget about OCZ! lol

This is some of the best ram I've owned!

[Jester]

OCZ doesn't have kits with timings that low, if you're on a lower budget they have great choices along with G.SKILL and some Mushkin kits.

I think OCZ is moving away from ram and putting more of there focus on SSD, The have one of the best SSD out there.

[Jester]

Actually, OCZ has recently stated they'll be focusing more on their high end products. RAM included. They make the best SSDs too.
