Mushkin basically pioneered the memory overclocking market in the 90's. At the time they were the only outfit binning SDR memory for performance, with heat spreaders and all. Now everyone does it, but I wouldn't say anybody does it better. Crucial is a good, reliable choice, and I have personally had poor luck with Corsair (and their RMA process is terrible) but when I'm building a performance PC it's running Mushkin or Gskill memory.
I wish Mushkin would up their game and kick some SSD ass, because their ram is good stuff, and they actually have support that gets back to you. I love my Samsung SSD, but they price them like they are made of gold or something.

"... but Mushkin has always been more of a value brand instead of being the first choice of overclockers."ORLY?

Yeah not sure where that is coming from either. Mushkin RAM has been consistently known for great overclocks.Minion4Hire - Wednesday, January 14, 2015 - link
Mushkin Redline DDR with my Opteron 165. That was a fun overclocking rig.Samus - Saturday, March 5, 2016 - link

Indeed. Not to my memory!Prplxt - Tuesday, January 13, 2015 - link
Does it bother anyone else that the m.2 PCIe Hyperion SSD sell sheet has a picture of a SATA III 6Gb/s drive?dgingeri - Tuesday, January 13, 2015 - link
That is a m.2 PCIe x4 form factor in that picture.Prplxt - Friday, January 16, 2015 - link
Not true. Look at the image in the sell sheet. PS - SATA drives can come in the M.2 form factor.Just saying. Don't agree - look at the text printed on the actual drive it says (perhaps not clearly) "SATA III 6Gb/s" - click on the image

My 512GB 850 Pro was only $339. That's a great price. I don't know what you're complaining about.juhatus - Tuesday, January 13, 2015 - link
You just confirmed the "made of gold". You can get a 512GB SSD for half of $339.royalcrown - Tuesday, January 13, 2015 - link
My 840 pro 469.00...how's that for a complaint ?Samus - Saturday, March 5, 2016 - link
Yeah, the support is a big deal. Mushkin does it very well. Corsair and Crucial have been hell to deal with for me, for RAM and SSD's.BimmerInd - Thursday, June 2, 2016 - link
When will AT review the Striker?
