Muskin Redline Frostbyte 16GB 2800MHz DDR4 Review

Performance

Cinebench

Cinebench scores are fairly close accross the board, but even at 2800 MHz, the Redline is staying very competitive.

Overclocking to 3000 MHz didn’t bring any benefit here, but it’s still very competitive, keeping up with kits running at much higher speeds.

AIDA64

The slower speed is more evident in AIDA64. The score is lower than others, but it’s a slower kit, so that’ shardly surprising. That being said, these are still very good scores overall.

Overclocking was extremely beneficial here. There are significant gains in the Read, Write and Copy performance.

The latency is a little higher here, but again, this is a slower kit overall and more affordable, so that’s to be expect here. Of course, these are good results, they just look worse as we only have a small dataset at this time.

Overclocking increased latancy by 0.01, although that shouldn’t really impact real-world performance.

SiSoft Sandra

Perfectly consistant results in SiSoft, delivering 27GB/s throughput in all three tests.

Again we see a big improvement from overclocking. All scores went from 27GB/s to 28 and 29GB/s!

WPrime

5.486 seconds is a very good score, even beating out some of the faster and more expensive kits we’ve tested.

Overclocking took that time down a tiny bit to 5.477; not a huge gain, but a faster is faster!

3DMark Fire Strike

Despite the much slower speed, we once again see a competitive score from the Redline. Most of this is likely thanks to the tight timings on this memory.

A small improvement here, even moving up an extra position on our charts. It seems like that overclock to 3000 MHz is doing a decent job.
