May 24, 201016 yr Author Thanks. I know about Mushkin but is difficult to find here. What is the best alternative to Mushkin RAM?
May 24, 201016 yr Thanks. I know about Mushkin but is difficult to find here. What is the best alternative to Mushkin RAM?I would say Corsair Dominator. Shane Gavin
May 24, 201016 yr Agreed just watch the size of the heatsinks on the RAM itself. Sometimes they interfere with the CPU cooler, especially the aftermarket ones. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

May 25, 201016 yr Author (It seems like the OP lives in Europe.)Here you can order the Mushkin Redline:http://www.pchc.ch/They are based in Switzerland but they ship to Spain :(Thx for the info. "Here" is Spain. There are retailers distributing Mushkin in Spain but it seems to be out of stock. I'll try the dominator because buying from switzerland means shipping and taxes. What CL should I get? is CL7 is enough?
May 25, 201016 yr cl7 is fine. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
