RAM: G.Skill Aegis vs. Mushkin Blackline

[DaemonWarrior44]

G.Skill Aegis 2x8GB DDR4 vs. Mushkin Blackline 2x8GB DDR4:
Both are at about the same price here, in Argentina (South America), but I don't know which one should I buy, can you help me?
I know that there isn't much difference between RAM brands in terms of specs, but maybe they're different in terms of reliability...
https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3000c16d-16gisb (G.Skill) vs. http://www.poweredbymushkin.com/index.php/catalog/item/4-blackline/1147-997199f.html (Mushkin).
P.S: The Aegis is at 3000MHz, while the Blackline is at 2400MHz, but I think it doesn't matter because my Motherboard is "locked" at 2400MHz.

RAM is RAM. So long as the specs are the same, then they'll be identical. There's no such thing as "reliability".

 

That said, you need a Z motherboard to have them run above 3000mhz. Otherwise, they'd be capped to 2133/2400mhz for 1st /2nd gen LGA 1151 H and B boards.

Reliability no, but warranty yes. Which sort of plays hand in hand with reliability.

 

OP, I'd suggest seeing which one has a better warranty, and which one has better warranty procedures.

Okay, and what about cooling? I mean, every brand and model has its own RAM cooling system. In this case, the G.Skill has a smaller heatsink than the Mushkin, I don't know if that's something to worry about.

Those "coolers" are for aesthetic purposes. RAM doesn't need any cooling.

The only one that says something about warranty is G.Skill, it says "Warranty: Limited Lifetime"... Mushkin doesn't say anything about it in its website.

Mushkin is limited lifetime as well.

I'd just see if they have different requirements. Where do you send it if you have an issue? Do they pay, or do you? That kind of thing.

Well, since they're basically the same I'd go for the G.Skill, because it's aesthetically better (in my opinion).
Thanks for helping me out, guys.
